I have been on the CCNA course for over a year now and I will say though it's not been very easy combining studying with raising a family and working as well, I have enjoyed the training as it is self paced and so doesn't put me under so much pressure to finish each module.
I have been able to learn a great deal since I started the training and I have also been able to use the knowledge gained in getting job as a service desk analyst in the public sector. I am pleased with this and I am confident that by the time I finish the whole course I'll be well equipped to for my next role.

I think the biggest achievement I have made this year is to specify and then build my own "top of the range PC". It must work ok because I am typing this on it now. Specifying the parts did take me longer than expected but I got there in the end, even after having to RMA a faulty motherboard. Another achievement has been repairing my son's computer that he needs for university by replacing the PSU. I wouldn't have dreamed of undertaking that before I started this course, so thanks, I am learning and looking forward to a career change from manufacturing to the IT industry

Since I start studying CCNA course from skill train, my personal development is moving up. I had a nice job in British Telecom. And also I recently was promoted as a Broadband ENGINEER. So, I hope the SkillsTrain will take me to higher and higher like an Aircraft. Thanks for that.

In my time doing this course and even though I'm not very far through my course I have been able to understand some problems on computers and resolved most of them I have upgraded a couple of computers for friends and family, before starting this course the only thing I knew about computers was how to turn it on, now I can describe quite naturally what's happening when the computer is booting. also on top of this all my marks are top with a min of 90% marks and alot at 100% and for me that's alot I was never really the best for studying but I find this course so fascinating I'm very much into computers now and I'm reading my course work constantly.

My greater achievement so far is the self confidence, I was not this much confident since I started my course in last December. I am able to trouble shoot far quicker than I could before, able to provide the best support to my team and customers. TMA's have been really helpful through out the course; I am expecting a promotion as a team leader next month.
The revision TMA19A was not very easy to do but I gathered my self and thought to do in my own style. I was thinking that I might have to resubmit it again but 3 days ago I received my TMA back and I have achieved 100% marks. My overall result has been 94.8% marks in 21 Tests so far.
I have recommended Skills Train to my mates. Thank you Skills Train for help, support and giving me self confidence. Thanks very much.

Since successfully completing my A+ Certification, I have been selected for the role of Head Technician and manager of the PC Clinic orientation, in PC World Basildon.
I was offered this role over colleagues that have been employed in the technician role and have been with the company for many years before myself, however, this achievement was made possible due to the understanding of computer maintenance and repair that I have gained from carrying out courses via Skills Train and my determination to succeed.

Hi Everyone,
I joined the CIW course to pursue my dream career as a Web designer ad move away from a career in the hotel industry.
Life after our baby was born became very challenging. Managing my career,family commitments and finding time to study was becoming increasingly difficult. I started working late shifts in order to take of our daughter during the day time when my wife was working. Before long I was neglecting my studies and was becoming unfocused. Then I decided one day,after taking stock of the situation, in order to be successful and to lead a excellent life style which will help my wife and child lead a good lifestyle I had to follow my study regime zealously, with a new found enthusiasm.
Now I am much more focused and I have of late progressed at a good pace with excellent grades. I am striving to receive my Part C folder in the foundations (just one assignment left!) I am determined to complete my foundations level exam by this June. I thank all the tutors for their help towards my progress. The material provided is excellent and easy to use. Thank you.
Regards

I haven't studied seriously since I was in my early twenties but now at 60 I seem to be achieving fairly good results with the course so far. Last assignment result was 100%. This was the second 100% out of the 12 TMA's I have submitted, which has certainly surprised me. I haven't had anything less than 80% and my average is 88%. I don't have any colleagues to confer with so this all has to be done at home at night after work. It can be quite a slog but I look forward to the challenges.

After doing really well so far with my course, I have not been well for a couple of months and am now trying to get back on my feet and continue my course. I am aiming to finish the section I am on at the moment section 2 part A by the end of this month. I have been struggling understanding javascript as its really quite new to me. I know I have the support of the tutor team behind me so I am sure I can achieve this section. It's important for me to finish this course as I have suffered severe illness for the past 7 years and this is my time to get back on my feet and earn a living again. The TMA's so far have been achieved with great success besides one with which I have resubmitted and acheived a 100% pass with. Web design is going to be with us for the foreseeable future so it is an area of computer and networking technology that's is well worth mastering. This is driving me as I enjoy and am always amazed by the power of the Internet as a Marketing vehicle, you can literally reach anyone with internet access all over the world. I am grateful to skillstrain and the tutor team for the professional service they provide for me, and am determined to succeed with my studies. As with my illness it is important to take every step of the way carefully and make sure nothing is overlooked to ensure progress is made.

When I first began the course, I had a firm idea where I wanted to go in life, but my train was still at the station without any tracks. Then I discovered SkillsTrain and for the first time in my life I was given a path to take to pursue my career.
At first I struggled a bit, being used to the day to day learning routines of school I found it difficult to discipline myself, due to the course allowing flexible working times but after completing the first few assignments and seeing my scores begin to increase it gave me a new burst of energy and willpower.
Having just started to learn XHTML coding it has already opened up new prospects for me as ive been able to assist my friends and also help them learn some basics and it has also provided me with another set of skills to put down on any future job application.
If it wasnt for SkillsTrain I would still be waiting at the station, but thanks to the clear, well layed out and informative books alongside video files and online assistance ive been able to pursue my career as a web designer.
Thanks SkillsTrain

One good thing about studying my course at skills train (CIW WEB DESIGN MANAGER) is the fact that even at the foundation level you can start earning money already if you actually want.
I have just set up an office and right now I have 5 clients who are really happy and promising more jobs and connections in the future. After I cracked the issue of using css and
for site layout in the section 1 part B of my
CIW foundation course, I became more confident to confront clients because it gave me the power to come up with more professional websites. Now I do not only design websites but also offer website help desk assistance to my clients and take up some freelance jobs online. As a matter of fact I now have a total new idea about developing and running a website which I have gladly offered to clients that needs such advice.
Though there are still long ways to go in my course but I'm already confident about the future of it.
It all depends if you want to make use of the skills you are learning at
skills train but it sure brings a kind of confidence to go out there , compete and succeed.
I'm really proud of the experience.
