Testimonials / Course Reviews -

Since starting this course at the beginning of January I have become 100% more confident about solving promblems and maintaining computers, I have even started some part time work for a company that repairs p.c's and laptops. I have also built a p.c for a friend to his specification, which I feel is a good achievement in itself, because 2 months ago I would have had no idea where to even start. So I think my biggest achievement so far would be, having the confidence to competently build and repair computers.

I have never been one for studing and could never apply myself to it, for e.g I started this course in three years ago with the ambition to finsh it quickly but I never actually started until November 2007. Since then I have seen what the course work has to offer and I have been blown away by how easy it is to get my head down and actually study. The course work is fantastic and easy to get to grips with, I May only have just completed part a in the Comptia A+ section but I have learned and achieved alot and look forward to what this course holds for me not only in work prospects but what it has done for me as a person and that is all thanks to skillstrain who have made it possible.

I am pleased to say that so far I have achieved 90% or greater on my TMA's which I am extremely pleased about. But more then that I am extremely proud of myself for completing the two units on networks. I had very limited understanding of networks, but with the clear and precise text I can say without a doubt that I know more about networks now then I have ever done previously. It May seem like small potatoes but to me, the network parts of the course I knew would be hard, they were infact quite easy to understand due to the fact that it was written clearly and in a way in which I could understand. Makes me want to get the A+ done and move onto the N+ as quick as possible.

Since I started the course I haven't found it difficult instead I have learned new things about IT that I didn't know. The course is a smooth process of learning which can be helped with a lot of studying

Over the past two months I have been studying very hard for promotion at work. One of my key tasks was to pass my A+ and N+ exams to help put a case forward for promotion. In December 2007 I passed both external exams to certify as an A+ IT Technician and now have the certificate on my wall at work. Then to make things even better I sat and passed my Comptia N+ exam in February and am now awaiting that certificate to go alongside my A+ one. My manager has just said he is going to support my case for promotion and fingers crossed it will be made true these coming months. All of this is down to the course materials received from Skillstrain making the studying a lot easier with excellant course materials.

Working around my 60 hour a week job. Driving 100's of miles a week. This course is giving me great hope for the future. When I see my results it gives me great encouragement to keep going, knowing that life can get better. I'm loving it, and wish that I did all this sooner.

Consistantly high marks- so far out of the seven TMA's I have attempted, the lowest mark I have recieved is 89%.

Managing to set up a study timetable that allows me to revise and to study new material consistantly, even while learning that I have to "learn" all over again how to study!

Using the knowledge I have so far learned to repair my own PC, which had suffered from a long-standing BIOS problem. It now works perfectly, and recognises all the hardware properly! (Beforehand, it refused to recognise the size of the HD properly, even when configured). Although with the knowledge I had gained, flashing the BIOS was a nervous experience!

After much stopping and starting I have finally persevered and completed the first part of my course. Despite redundancy and learning a new job plus family bereavement I have stuck to my objectives and got through. With a clear study plan now in place I am looking forward to the next part. I May not have been a quick in achieving this but have done so with excellent results in my TMA's - something that I am most proud of.
