SkillsTrain A+ Course

April has been a difficult month for me time wise, what with working and running the football team and also playing. Having mid week games thrown in due to the rubbish weather we had this season and still having games on Saturdays. I have also had to do the end of season accounts plus organise two 6 aside tournaments and get the money from people for them and find time to organise the end of season do. That has all made this month a bit hectic but add in the girlfriend moving up from Devon with no job and over 300 books into my flat, its gone manic.

I have found I've had less and less free time to do anything let alone study this month. But with one TMA done and hopefully another before the end of the month its all good. I did say HOPEFULLY

Had very little PC knowledge when started the course could operate software but with basic knowledge. Work long nights driving HGV so study time is hard to come by but I try to fit in as much as possible through my breaks during night day's off etc, I'm doing better than I thought I would, note taking is getting easier better with practice hopefully continue with good marks.

I have finished part A of my course on the essentials of Comptia A+. I feel I already have a strong knowledge of the insides and outs of a PC, when just over a month ago my knowledge was at best, basic. I have experimented by taking apart my dads old computer and feel I can pinpoint mostly everything that I`ve learned. This as been down to hard work and commitment because I work long shifts 6 days a week starting at 6 in the morning and although it would be easier to go straight to bed when I`ve got back, I`ve made sure that I`ve studied a module everyday and understood it and as a result I have begun to enjoy it more. Thank you.

As I am working in a hotel as Concierge, you can all figure how busy this can be in the hotel business during summer seasons. This June is no exception.
You might be surprised if I tell you that I am a football referee too. And I had a fitness test with The FA on 19th June which I have passed with success. I trained up to 5 times a week to achieve that. The fitness test itself was of two parts: Firstly, you must run continuously for 12 minutes and complete a minimum distance of 2500 meters within that time. After 15-minute break, you will then be required to complete two 50 mete sprints, each in under 7.5 seconds. You can imagine that is not as easy as it looks. However for 12 minutes I managed to run the distance of 2950 meters which was the 3rd best result of the day for 70 people. I shall say that wasn't that bad.

Despite everything I didn't stop my course and I have managed to submit four assessment so far. My target is to do 6 in total until the end of June. It won't be easy and I am not asking it to be. I am taking my course seriously. I know that in couple of months I will be prepared to take the first exam and get the A+ Certificate. This will open me the doors to a new dream career.

I wish everyone good luck and believe in yourself.

I have just completed my degree and now am studying PC hardware and maintenance- essentials. I have completed three of the assignments and have got 95% and 97% for two of them. I am waiting to see what I get for the third which I think I completed comfortably. I think coming out of university and doing this course straight away helps as you still are in the studying mood.

Enrolled July 2006 for CCNA/CCNP and started my first TMA in A+ in August. Despite my busy work pattern as a hospital doctor, I've managed to finish A+ and sat CompTIA A+ public exam and had a good pass. Just received certificate 2 weeks ago. Also finished Network+ yesterday. Looking forward to starting CCNA/CCNP part of course. Been very exciting ad looking forward to second profession or change of career!

After starting this course with only self taught PC skills I have submitted three TMA's this month and managed 100% scores so far though still waiting TMA02 result. I'm certainly enjoying the challenge even though I also work 50 hours a week plus. Best decision I ever made was definitely starting this course.

Getting out of hospital after my breakdown this course has helped me focus on a new life and a better job prospect.

I always try my best with all my assignments and I feel I have committed myself to my work 100% I have got through 7 assignments in a period of time, and feel that is a great achievement and I will give 100% with all my coursework.

I feel I have achieved a lot since I started the course, I initially started my A+ course in 2005 but struggled really hard to find the time to study in between family life and work. Then personal problem seemed to mount up, my relationship unfortunately ended and my step father was taken ill( fortunately he's doing well now). I still persevered and managed to pass both my exams eventually to gain my A+ certificate. I feel I have a greater knowledge now and indulge in pc repairing for a hobby and am looking forward to an interview soon. Many thanks.
