I have personally found the courses very hard but I have achieved the last 4 tma at 100%, have also been offered a new job role at my company after they found out I was taking the courses I am very happy to have commenced this course. At 40 I have been in the Electrical/Electronics Industry for 20 years but work wasn't always available and decided to take a change of direction in my career. I think my Tutor marked assignments have been very good, since I have started doing the A+ course. I have now completed part A and B of Essentials and Enterprise technician and waiting to do the two exams. I am currently doing N+ part B; I have already completed part A. Once I have worked through the tutor marked assignments for N+ I will then attempt the exam. Then I can start the CCNA part of the course, which for me this main and most important part. Before taking on this course, I had very good understanding about computer. However with good progression I have learnt a great deal about the core of computing and networking. My knowledge and understanding of computer is better now, I feel confident enough to teach other about computers. I have been working a 50 hour week in a busy IT department in Stockport, Manchester as well as working 20 hours a weekend in a bar doing pub work to fund my course. Despite all of the working hours I have still managed in the last month to have submitted 6 TMA's with none scoring less than 90%. After being diagnosed with cancer l thought that was the end of everything including my capability of studying. The only thing that keeps me going even if l suffer a lot from chemotherapy side effects is my College Course as it is the only thing that gives me a reason to want to live even more. This month l have passed with an average of 92%. I have faced some serious problems in last two months and my studies were totally freezed due to the reason that I went to Pakistan because my mother got serious arm fracture.I was not in a position to leave as I already lost my job. I was in financial crises as well and at some stage I thought I wont be able to continue my studies.But thanks to Skills Train College and CDF who supported me alot and encouraged me to continue my course.After a long break of about two months I again started sending my TMAs and now I have covered all that time which was lost and managed to complete three assignments in 10 days.I am enjoying these studies now and will encourage my friends to join Skills Train because of there dedication and support I have got. In the time I have been studying with the skills train I have managed to find myself a full time job which is 40 hours a week and also managed to complete 3 TMA's with a degree of ease. 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. 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 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. I STARTED MY CCNA COURSE IN JANUARY AND SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVED IMMENSELY IN MY PC HARDWARE AND MAINTENANCE COURSE BOOKS. I NOW KNOW MOST PARTS IN A PC AND THEIR FUNCTIONS OF WHICH I DID REPAIRS MY INLAW'S PC PERFECTLY. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GATHER A LOTS OF CONFIDENCE WHEN WHEN IT COMES TO KNOWING ABOUT A PC AND THEIR FUNCTIONS. THIS HAD LEAD ME TO SCORE 100% MOSTLY IN MY COURSE. I AM ALSO USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A VERY BIG THANKS TO ALL IN SKILLS TRAIN WHO HAVE HELPED ME IN ACHIEVING GREAT. I AM NOW IN SECOND STAGE OF MY COURSE WHICH I BELIEVE AM GOING TO DO BETTER THAN PREVIOUS.
