I AM IN COLLOGE WITH THE HELP OF COMPTIA A+ AND IS HELPING ME WITH COMPUTING A LEVELS. HAS HELPED ME GET JOB INTERVIEWS AS MY CV HAS BECOME MORE DESIRABLE. HAS ENHANCED MY KNOWLEDGE TO REPAIR PCS FOR FRIENDS AND Colleagues Since the beginning of November I have managed to get to the half way point of my A+ course. Not remarkable in itself, but, I work full time averaging 50+ hours a week, I have four children aged 11, 6 and twins of 18 months old and Christmas in the middle of all this. I have been very impressed with my progress, achieving on average 90% per assignment. Working and studying has been difficult, with a 2yr old daughter and pregnant wife to support. But I feel I have applied myself excellently, and aim to continue to achieve the high standards I set myself. Despite working full time on shifts and being under the threat of imminent redundancy and all the pressures, worries and headaches that come with the situation, I have maintained my coursework on time and to a fairly good standard. I am also teaching my wife how to e mail! Not that great, you May think, but she is something of a tecnophobe and always seems a bit too busy to sit at a PC for long enough to take it all in. I will persevere. To make an option to start a tottaly new career and come back to study after 30 years at 51 years of age in another country. I think this is a big step and a great personal achievement. I really think I have now come to terms of liking to study even more than before when I come back from work exhausted,I still manage to peruse through my lessons.I feel motivated when I speak with my tutor,because after helping me with my lessons,he still asks me for any further question.I work from Monday to Friday,but still do manage at least to understand most of my lessons I study that particular day/night.I think my performance hasn't been that bad as feared before.I would like thank all the tutors for their lovely help. AM DOING A+ AS PART OF MY COURSE AND DURING THIS TIME HAVE ALOT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMPUTER MANTAINANCE SINCE I STARTED LEARNING WITH SKILLS TRAIN ,I EVEN MANAGED TO FIX MY HOME PC THAT WAS NOT PERFORMING WELL.I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARN MORE. Achieved outstanding TMA results that I wasnt expecting from reading through the manuals, even managed a high revision supplement mark. Plus, I have helped my brother in detecting viruses on his computer, something which I needed help with 5 years ago!! He likes to think he can manage these himself, but I showed him someone else is on hand just incase. Also, I feel as though Ive progressed nicely, engaging in sometimes longer than average sessions reading my course material. I have managed to work really hard on this course and pass my assignments despite suffering from fibromyalgia and severe asthma, being a full time carer to my husband who has epilepsy and coping with a recent family bereavement. I have been using the knowledge and skills that I have learnt to help my husband to use the computer. I feel that I deserve to be Student of the month because: I have finished my last 3 assignments at 100% without having to re-submit, I have acheived this through increased studying despite working as a night carer five nights a week 8PM - 8AM and looking after my daughter when she finishs school at 12PM. I now feel that I am ready to undertake a role within the I.T. industry as all my colleagues at work are asking me to come round to fix there P.C. the worst problem I have fixed is a blue screen on startup saying config/security file missing or corrupt! which I managed without any loss to any data contained on the P.C. my colleagues are also asking my advice on which P.C. they should buy. I am currently studying for my A+ then moving onto my N+. Im finding my course really interesting and inspirational in the fact that having been so long away from study I am now doing what all teachers used to say I didnt do apply myself. Its tough going like most folk doing distance learning, I have a wife and two boys who require that quality time and two jobs to keep the money coming in while I study. However I have created a good study timetable which seems to be helping as I have just submitted my third TMA having scored in the 90s for my previous two. I only began studying end of November 2006 and feel I have made great in-roads over my first 3 months. it would be a great achievement to be considered for student of month but I know other great guys out there who also deserve recognition for their efforts. I would like to gratefully acknowledge the contribtion of special peaple who provided invaluable assistance in my work and studing with skillstrain.Thanks to my tutors who marked my assignment for section 1 part A,it's really amazing,encouraging and well organized.I believe that the only difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is extraordinary determination.Thank you to my Tutors and skillstrain in all. God bless
