I hav completed my assignment in couple of days, its very hard for me to find time but I still make efforts because I am doing a very busy job but I never compromise on my motivation to become skilled and more knowledgeable in computer science.

I have been studying very hard over the past few months as one day it just became clear to me that I had to progress further and achieve something. As you can see from my N+ TMA scores I have not had to resubmit any of the assignments. I have done all this whilst doing DIY in 3 bedrooms, the garden and my garage. I also have 3 kids and a job that requires me to work a 12 hour shift twice a week. It has been hard but I now feel as though I am getting there and the dream of becoming a CCNP is getting closer every week.. Thank you.

I have a firm belief in myself and I know that I can make my carrer in computers even though I work 9hrs a day still I make it a point to study atleast 2hrs day and I have recently started my cource and planning to make my brighter future in the field of computers

Fixed friends computers for pleasure and extra study.. upgraded my achievements by far.

My mum is a mobile hair dresser and she has a customer just over the road from us. She is deaf and has dificulty moving around and she is also on a pension. She has a daughter about the same age as my mum, but she has a mental disability. They asked my mum whether I could come over and look at their printer as it wasn't working. Now I have to work and study during the week and also find time for my girlfriend as well, but managed to free up some time for them. Now I thought it would be simple (eg a paper jam), oh no. For some reason it just did n't want to work I tried everything and then eventually had to say to them that they needed a new printer. They asked if I could get it for them and I did. A HP deskjet 300 series. Now I forgot to mention that they have only got windows 98 as their OS and so it wanted updates which it could n't get as the computer was n't on the internet. So I went home found the updates that should have made it work with windows 98. Didn't work. I call the help line. They told me to use a different update, but when I looked at the file name it was exactly the same. As every one was getting frustrated and the ladies daughter was having withdrawal symptons as she likes to use it for drawing, typeing and for playing on. So I found my copy of Windows ME and installed it onto their computer and now the printer works. This all took about three weeks, but that was due to the fact I had around thre hours a week I could give them. I 'm glad I could help some one out like that with my busy schedule and I 'm glad to say that they were very pleased with the end product. Also her daughter keeps telling my mum how she keeps finding new things to play with. I 'm now striving even harder to finish my courses as now I want to do more and get out into the world, so I can help every one.

When I erolled on the course I wasn't quite sure, I had my douts and felt quite frighten. Didn't really know what I was doing, then I started reading my foundation book and I got really excited, I managed to understand things that where completly alien to me and managed to reach my 6TM Assignment in quite a short time and I am still very excited and ego to learn more.

I am managing my time to get in the study of my course though it is very difficult regarding the nature of my current job. I recently deployed out in the field for 2 weeks as manager of 35 person. Which was very hard to manage time for study however I took my course book to keep continuation of study. that is way I have submitted TMA3 straight away on my return in home. Because I want to finished this course while I m still in this job (Army). So that I can start my 2nd carrer straight out of this job.

Hi just started and loving the chance to start again been out of work for the last 4yrs due to illness (m.s). I have a wife and 2 children so study time is limited but glad to say I enjoy learning somthing new and was happy to say I got 95% on my tma01 hoping next month is as good

I often used to upgrade my PC and spending lots of money on motherboards etc. I used to think the more you spend the better the PC. In some respects this is true as we are using moore's law and components are getting more powerful by the day! However after getting through the first two assesments, I have begun to appreciate components a lot more. And that it's not worth forking out hundreds of pounds on upgrades when I have a great PC already!!

I've managed to get mum to use the internet. She couldn't even swith on a PC before!!

Even though my Grandfather passed away on 16 Feb 07, I have managed to get through to the second assesment (even though a little delayed). I'm hoping for a good score.

I have completed two assingments so far. This first assingment was not the best result but after resubmitting it I achieved 93%. On my second assingment I received 90%. For me this is a major achievement as before this course I have never used a computer. My partner purchased this computer in September an I have been slowing exploring the computer and now I can send email, surf the net (knowing what all the icons mean), type (not very fast but not taking 5 minutes to find the last letter typed). I have learnt how to set up my own personal setting, download music and pictures.
I am loving each day of my course as I am learning what makes my computer function. My partnes laughs at me as I now correct her or point her in the right direction when using the computer.

I am currently facing imminent threat of redundancy, which, at 50 years of age, leaves me feeling very worried and uncertain about my future prospects. My wifes job with the local council is also somewhat uncertain and so I feel the pressure is definitely on!
However, I continue to keep up with regular studies at the Network+ course and feel I am making good progress despite the stress.

I have worked hard under extreme pressure over the last few months. This has included two deaths in the family and finding out that my spouse has arthritis and needs a hip replacement done.

Despite these set backs I have kept a high level of pass marks for each TMA and hope to continue this work.
