Thank you for giving me the exposure to the LIT, I am very delighted that I have made it to the class and I would like to thank our teaching department. It was fantastic, easy and clear though I got one answer incorrect but I am happy. My other weaknes was not being able to use the icons but next class I will. I have gained a lot about security as I nearly made mistake of signing on phishing thinking its the right thing and luckily I just ignored it. Thank you once again.

Where ( all around me ) things in life were not going as planned - I can now see a spec of daylight at the end of the tunnel , and for that I can thank Skills Train . This course has helped me start the cycle that will eventually change my life , and remove me from a job that hasn't produced any form of work satisfaction ( over the last few years ) , and little financial reward for the long hours that I continually put in . The happiest working days of my life will be when I set off - for a Networking career change .
The Recent Exam sucess - in passing the Comptia A+ was a significant milestone for me , and this has given me the confidence to start the next part of my course with Positive results in the first 3 TMA's . I am thoroughly enjoying this Networking course , and I have invested in a few Networking tools ( bought on e-bay ) , and have started to set up a Home Network lab - using my companies old network Hub & a couple of (permanently borrowed , and unused ) ISA NIC's . The network course notes have helped me , as one of the NIC's had a fault , and after referring to the correct section - I managed to change its IRQ , and away it went .

After giving up my regular job as a postman due to an injury I have taken up a CCNA course to assist me in understanding, within my curent job in the mobile industry, the systems we use and why and how problems arise relating to software /hardware and general IT issues that occur on a regular basis.
Not only have I been able to solve a lot of these issues myself without the need for them to be raised to our IT department, I have also developed a skill that seems to be sought after and deemed very useful within my workplace.
I have since been offered a role within our IT department that consists of diagnosing and resolving issues raised on a daily basis, reducing the workload within my department.
I feel the course has had a definate impact in me achieving this position as I mentioned my current studies and what it consists of. I was selected from a shortlist of employees within my company and am now progressing closer to reaching my goal to become a fully active member of the IT team within one of the biggest network providers in the world!
All good, and thanks to me taking the initiative to partake in a skills train online learning course.
Many thanks skills train, I only wish I had done this years ago!

I am a Cisco student and a mother of two aged 20 and 6 months.
Before joining Skills Train, life seemed to be very dull and boring. I adopted a routine with my 2 children that wasn't particularly exciting, and almost everyday of my life looked like the one before. I didn't feel that I was achieving much.
I then joined Skills Train. At first I hadn't a single idea about dealing with computers. I wasn't really fond of them. Actually I thought using PCs was a complicated thing to do. After I started to study my course materials, I realized that studing I.T was an easy and exciting thing to do.
Joining Skills Train really changed my life to the better. Now I am enjoying my course to the full especially when I started the CCNA part of the course.
I recently sat for the A+ 2003 objectives exams, CompTIA A+ core hardware exam and CompTIA A+ OS technology exam. Because the 2003 objectives exams were about to end, I had only three weeks to study each of them. That was a very difficult task to do, and I wasn't sure that I will pass the exams, especially that I have my house and children to take care of. But fortunately I passed both of them, and now I am looking forward to take the rest of my course exams.
I encourage each student in Skills Train to take his or her exams because I know it is not a difficult thing to do, and you will have a qualified certificate added to your CV.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my tutor team for their endless efforts and for being very helpful and supportive.

I have progressed highly in the past few months, and performed well in my TMA's.
Since April I have been acheiving 100 and 90 marks in my TMA's. Not going lower than 90% and for my written assignment I gained 100%.
I have been able to use the learning material from my Skills Train course in my job as an Apprentice Developer, where I develop different systems and infrastructures for the company.
From the money that I have made in my apprenticeship, I have just started renting a house in Bristol.

Three weeks ago, I wrote to the college for a reference letter to back up my application for a new position within my company as my company wanted the letter confirming that I have completed A+ and N+ and have commenced the study of CCNA. The letter was provided and I went, I saw and we (myself and SKILL Skillstrain) conquered.
Someone with a little and humble beginning is now in a comfortable position within the Information Systems department. Not only that, I applied for further training and if the unconfirmed news I heard from my manager should be trusted, then I am already successful. According to my manager, I was selected for the training (among other 3 people) for the fact that I already have Experience of CISCO and Networking. How would I have gained all the above remarkable experience without Skillstrain solidly standing behind me?
My success is not going to end there for I do know that it has just started. The very day I took the bold step of joining Skillstrain was the very day I took my destiny in my hands and said to my hidden success;" Let's start our journey". and we have just started our success journey and story. Success doesn't come so easily, for it demands hard work. My TMA's and my drive to succeed are living testimonies of my hardwork which Skillstrain contributed to in no small measures.
I just wish I started with the college earlier than when I started. If I did, I would had risen more than I have now. But there is no regret as long as I have Skillstrain, success is assured.

I enrolled on the CCNA course about 15 months ago and I am glad I did. Had I enrolled on it somewhere else I would have been booted out long time ago! Thanks to its highly flexibility in nature. It has not been easy combining my low paid hard work job with this course. But I am glad and always feel very comfortable when I bury my head deep on the course material.
One thing that keeps me going is the advertisement of jobs galore on this website and the corresponding fat salaries not to mention the string benefits. In fact this and success stories I read on this website tell me that there is 100% hope of seeing the light at the end of the tunnels. For me being on this course is a dream come through not as job only but also what I have fancied to do in future. I have realised that if one lays their hands on something that they love doing they do and do it very very well. I like my level of progress.
One thing I can't wait is the cycberclass I will be stating in a few week's time. The first time I was introduced to it, it was fantastic!
Lets all study very hard for it. How wonderful it will be for me to write my name and add my CCNA to it! Upon successfull completion of this I can't wait to start the next one which is CCNP. Thanks to my dedicated tutors who have made the course materials so well self explanatory that I find it hard to ask them questions on a topic or a chapter.

My learning curve is extremely high at the moment.
I am reinforcing my basic understanding of how computers work, as well as learning new things everyday.
This course is intense but it is also very rewarding.
The facts are accurate, the learning tools are accessible and reliable.
The overall experience is quite enjoyable.
-Paolo
I started this course with the sole purpose of passing it and then changing my career for the better (hopefully). I have gained a vast amount of knowledge that I had no idea about before, my grades are in the 90's which has amazed me. My daughters nursery school has a computer which was basically poorly, after a week putting into practice what I have learnt on this course it's now fighting fit and I have now shown them how to do things like newsletters etc, so that it looks a lot more professional. It doesn't take ages to get going like it did before. Money well spent so far, hopefully it will be worth the wait.

I joined SkillsTrain in December 2006. I always wanted to have a career In IT but never got the right guidance from anyone until I came across SkillsTrain. After deciding to do Comptia A+ I had barely 6 months in hand in which I had to study the course material and to appear for Comptia A+ 2003 examination as the last date for examination was on 30th June. During this period my wife was pregnant and had to take care of her as well, we were blessed with baby boy on 22nd DEC 2006. I had many sleepless nights specially in first 3 months and at times felt so stressed that I wont be able to do this but with my wife's support I was able to carry on.
I work for a Restaurant as a Manager and my working hours are very unpredictable ending up doing 60 odd hrs or more a week. I could hardly find time to study, some how I managed to study for 7-10 hrs a week. Until recently in June I finished my course work and applied for exam.
I passed Comptia A+ (both the exams)on 29th June. I couldn't believe myself that I did it. I am really very happy and looking forward to do Comptia N+ and then CCNA. I want to take this opportunity to thank SkillsTrain for providing me with the platform to build my career.
