SkillsTrain A+ Course

For the last 15 years I have been self employed as a domestic appliances engineer. My business folded in Febuary this year. I had to go and find a job which I managed to do but it was not to my liking, but you have to make ends meet. I enrolled with skillstrain about 15 months ago and doing realy well most results being 85-100% I help out in a small pc shop from time to time which I really do enjoy and at the end of my training they hope to be able to employ me full time.

When I've started this course I had two big problems: 1st-I had four years break from studying and 2nd I'm originally from Poland and I was afraid that IT language will be to hard to fully understand. Fortunately all course material are written in simple, easy to understand terms, and even when I have to read each unit few times I'm very happy with my knowledge and my progress which encourage me to study more!

At the begining of my course I had no technical knowledge of computers at all. Since starting to study for my CCNA I have been able to upgrade my computer by adding extra RAM. I found out what I needed and ordered it and installed it myself.

I have been out of work for more than five years as I have been on long term Incapacity Benefit due to ill health. The illness I suffer from is Manic Depression, and side affects of the medication meant that I was constantly tired, could not concentrate and had no motivation. I spent 7 weeks in hospital in the early part of 2006, 3 weeks of which was in Intensive Care where my family were told that they were not sure whether I would live or not.
Thank God I survived and have managed to recover sufficiently to take on this Computer course, and am really enjoying studying and I am motivated do it which would have been impossible befere my hospitalization.

My achievements so far include some good results for my assignments.

Thank you for giving me something to get up in the morning for.

Before I enrolled with skillstrain,it has been my heart desire to look for another job because of the hours I spent in the night doing security job. As a matter of fact there was a need for me to learn something new to fulfil this dream. I was over-joyed when I received a call from skillstrain, followed by the confirmation from your course advisor that I can do the course. I felt within me that I was on the way towards realising my dream. After the discussion with the advisor, I started with Comptia A+ and since then I have been doing the course and I am impressed by the scores of my TMAs and I believe as a result of this I am encouraged to press on. It thrills me each time I look at my scores because I started this course when I know nothing about computers. I am hoping and believing to secure a job that will enable me to leave my security job, work during the day time at a good pay and have peaceful rest at night, when I finish my Comptia A+and N+ and do the exams.

Thanks for giving me this opportunity to pursue my heart's desire.

I took on this course with no knowledge about computers at all. Needless to say, I now show my younger brother and friends how to use a computer, I have gained so much confidence in using pc's now. My assignment marks have been so much better than first thought, when looking at the assignments I was lost, but squeezing in as much study as possible in the time available to me, the results were worth all the effort. I've done all this whilst working a fulltime day job and 3 nights a week.. Really enjoying the course.. Goes to show that no matter how much time you have, you can still achieve what you set out to do... Thanks skillstrain.....

I have just passed the A+ essentials exam and have booked the next one to complete the course in 2 weeks. I have almost finished the N+ course as well and expect to take that exam in October. I get married in November and can then continue with the CCNA after the honeymoon as I'll be looking for a new job in the computer industry!

I have just passed my A+ Essentials Exam with a score of 730 and have booked up the A+ 602 exam as well to complete the 1st part of my course. I have 1 more TMA to complete the N+ stage of my course and hope to sit that Exam sometime in October. I have done this whilst learning the Grooms speech and finalising arrangements for my marriage on November 3rd!

I have achieved 11 or so assignment in one month from the first 2 book of A+ section 1 part A and part B which I did not think I could do but I say thank you to the tutors for marking my result so quickly. Which has been high and has given me a high hopes of getting good result for the rest of the courses with a positive look to the future.

I am still managing to find time to study as well as find a job, attend college, train and study with my martial arts, and complete coursework. I hope to continue doing the TMA's at a high standard so I can finish the course and start my ICT career.
