Great achievement of all for me it is to be "ON" SkillsTrain!
Thank you for pleasant and interesting "journey"!

I have managed to complete, and pass, 7 TMA's in the last month, with my 8th submitted today. This is despite my partner and I going through IVF treatment and having to be in London every couple of days for two weeks of this month, final planning and preparation for our wedding at the end of July, and holding down a full time job while hunting for another! I'm sure there are others in more difficult circumstances although I don't think I've done too badly this past 30 days!

Only recently I have began my studying with Skillstrain and I have ensured that I learn each assignment thoroughly and leave nothing out. Although I have previously completed SSADM and various computer languages in an engineering background I think my results speak for themselves. Those results are TMA1-85%, TMA2-90%, TMA3-100%, TMA4-100%, TMA5-100%. At 49 there's plenty of life left yet.

This month was very successful. I passed both exams A+ essentials and Technician exam and I am looking forward to receive a certificate. I have managed to repair one computer of my friend - wireless network card had to be change because the old one was faulty. I think that I am improving quite well , just the resources are limited. I hope that I will finish my N+ part of my course as soon as possible and the head to CCNA. Just writing this short story. Thank you

At 30, working as an electrical foreman(sub contractor), overlooking a £5 million project; is challenging enough; dealing with people with vast experience in the construction industry. Daily duties involves dealing with the company office on hourly basis, main contractor site manager, architects, project manager, site representative, quality controller representative, company owner and arranging work four tradesmen; only on daily basis. keeping up with my little girls and my missus, and do some studies through skills train is a challenge but seems accustomed to it, and hoping to achieve more in the near future.

Difficulties in concentration this month due to an old friend entering a hospice and given two weeks to live due to brain tumour but still managed to complete TMA02

In the last couple of months I have been under a lot of pressure with my full time job working nearly twelve hours a day,seven days a week but still manage to do and submit my assignments.when I started the course I knew just a little bit about IT, but has gained a lot of knowledge on the course so far through my dedicated study with the time available to me.

Well for me July has been a real significant month. As for one I have dusted my Skills train resources and gotten back on my study saddle. I will confess to haven been complacent in the past few months and even contemplated cancelling my subscription to the skillstrain programme. Then it suddenly struck me that I joined this course to gain something, Knowledge. And more importantly Knowledge that was going to equip me with vital skills to further my potential.

Considering I am currently enrolled in a full-time Masters programme my adversity, left me mostly disgruntled and irritable. First my academic challenges, then work, then having to search and finally move house( with the right budget in mind). However in the midst of it all I never got around to making that fatal call to Skillstrain admin to say "I am pulling the plug", No! I kept up with my payments every 4th of the month and each passing payment kept my critical receptors constantly spinning, rationalising each payment and justifying it to my subconscious. Then it happened, my computer decided to give me a hand. It would intermittently fail to boot. I was frustrated and the thought of having to go to a technician meant costs, time and inconvenience. Luxuries I just could not afford. Then it hit me I picked up my PC HARDWARE AND MAITENANCE ESSENTIALS manual and I ran the trouble shoot and entered Control+Alt+ Delete . It turned out my power supply was faulty and was able to buy sometime until payday and purchased a better engineered one with the help of an in-store technician and installed it, I am proud to say, all by myself.

Any way the rest they say is detail, as I by that very "divine" encounter with my computer, have sorted my second and third TMAs all in one month: Incredible. I hoping to have two more done in the next two weeks. To think I came this close to loosing it all. Like the saying goes, you never know what you have till you loose it. For me it is you never know what you have till you need it. I am fired up more than ever and I guess all the persistence and keeping faith with my hunches to sign on to the course in the first place, paid off.

My partner has just had a baby and its been difficult with a new born around but I have been working really hard to try and catch up with my course over the last month or so, and I am really starting to enjoy the N+ course, probably because its all stuff that I dont know and that I WANT to learn it.

I have achieved 95% on my first attempt at TMA01 and feel great about it. I look forward to the next one.

I have managed to complete all my a+ assignment questions and I am taking my exam wish me luck

I want to use this medium to express my profound gratitude to all staff and members of Skill train for the supports they have impacted in me all these while. I am now capable to troubleshooting any problems that May arise within and around the computer system so also, I have been able to achieved tremendously in my TMA's. I will say again, I have been able to solved most of my friends,relatives and colleagues personal computer problems even without finishing my course yet.This is so great as I become really confident of myself to solving major problems whenever it comes to computer faults. Having achieve all these within the shortest period of time,I want to say categorically,that I will come out in flying colours at the end of my course by God's grace. Once again, thank you all.
