Since I have started the A+ training, I had no prior knowledge of hardware components or how to build a PC. However by fantastic support and advice from my tutors and the study materials I have been able to gain a better understanding. This has enabled me to fix my old PC back together by installing additional memory and up-to-date components to the PC, in order for it to work faster and more efficiently. Therefore in the future I can apply my knowledge gained throughout this hardware course to real life situations and it will definately benefit my future IT career aspirations.

I was determined to change my career. I came to know about skillstrain through leaflet in the post. I have joined A+/N+/CCNA course. I manage to submit majority of the A+/N+ assignments in the first attempt. I passed my A+ exam in first attempt with good marks. Since last month I am running a part time small business from home, as an IT technician. I am receiving 2-3 computers per week for repair or upgrade, baring in mind that it is relatively new business, and I haven't promoted it as much yet. I am hoping to expand it in near future through advertising and make it as full time business.

The knowledge I have obtained wouldn't have been possible without the help and support of the tutors at skillstrain. I am looking forward for a bright future after completing my study.

I started my A+ course in the middle of March 2007 basically as a novice. I studied very hard, literally every day, and did quite well with my TMAs. When I completed my last TMA, the thought of doing the actual exam was quite scary for me since I had not formally studied in over 20 years.

Anyway I spent a couple of weeks revising and building up my confidence and then decided to book the two exams which would allow me to gain A+ certification. On Tuesday 18-Sep-2007 at 11:00am I stepped into the Pearson Vue exam room and did my CompTIA A+ Essentials and gained a score of 685. Then about an hour later I did the CompTIA A+ 220-602 exam IT Technician Designation and gained a score of 820.

I am very pleased with my achievements up to this point. I am now in the process of applying for work using my newly acquired skills and certification. I have also embarked on my N+ course.

I have just recently started to study again after many years. I have a 7 month old baby and work almost 7 days a week - I found the course hard at first.
I decided to set myself a target to how much I would study - in the first week I set my self a target of 1 hour a day as I did not have much spare time.
As time went on I kept setting myself targets but did not meet them until recently.
This month I am proud to say that I have met all the targets I set myself and now I study around 3 hours a day - it was hard at first and it took a while for me to get where I am today being busy with both the baby and work. I feel I have achieved a great deal this month and I actually look forward to coming home from work and sitting down to study and I enjoy the 3 hours of learning every day.
If anybody ever tells you that you can't do anything in life they are wrong and I am glad to say that people who said to me that studying would be a waste of time and cost too much I can now prove them wrong as I am really achieving something that I never thought I would do. It took lots of hard work and patience but I finally got there
Thanks

I was teaching IT in a training centre but really wanted to improve my technical skills so that I could seek alternative employment in the PC Maintenance field. I was already skilled in electronics so this wasn't going to be too big a hurdle for me.

I found Skills Train on the Net and they offered 2 combined courses: the A+ and N+ which were ideal for me to equip myself with the knowledge of today's PC environment. I completed the A+ last year and also passed the exams at an accredited centre. I am currently studying the N+.

I have since gained new employment working for DELL and having the A+ really made me confident when I applied.

The full course contents were all there in all the study folders, it's just a matter of going at your own pace and you can't really fail at the end.

Never give up follow your dreams and be positive in everything you do.
Just because I didn't have school grades it never stopped me from learning new skills, so proud of my studies, IT skills for commerce, Computerised Book-keeping/Accounts and I still have time for family commitments.

When I first started this course, I thought that I was looking at a long way to reach the top. Only last week, I applied for a work position with Microsoft and wrote a covering letter to them explaining that I was currently studying for MCSA. They called me in for an interview and talked to me about the position they required. They were pleased with the interview and so called me back for a second time. When I went for my second interview, they mentioned to me that they wanted me to work in a general admin office position, which I was pleased with, and happily requested that I complete my course so they could move my position to a computing administrator for the company. I am extremely pleased with the outcome, and I know without skillstrain, I May never have been able to even get this far. Today I am so glad that I dialled that number that got me here, thanks skillstrain!

The CIW E-commerce and CompTIA Project+ program had the right mix and match of my desired modules and included Project management (a very important management tool), so I enrolled for this course.

So far it has been a very interesting course and I am very passionate about it, the tutors are very efficient and the course materials are very understandable, I am already feeling very knowledgeable in this field. My family and friends say I work on it and talk about it all the time. I even dropped my other course I registered for so I can have enough time to work on this course. I am really enjoying my course so far.

Thanks alot Skillstrain for giving me an oppourtunity to do what I really want to do.

Over the past two months I have been studying very hard for promotion at work. One of my key tasks was to pass my A+ and N+ exams to help put a case forward for promotion. In December 2007 I passed both external exams to certify as an A+ IT Technician and now have the certificate on my wall at work. Then to make things even better I sat and passed my Comptia N+ exam in February and am now awaiting that certificate to go alongside my A+ one. My manager has just said he is going to support my case for promotion and fingers crossed it will be made true these coming months. All of this is down to the course materials received from Skillstrain making the studying a lot easier with excellant course materials.

After much stopping and starting I have finally persevered and completed the first part of my course. Despite redundancy and learning a new job plus family bereavement I have stuck to my objectives and got through. With a clear study plan now in place I am looking forward to the next part. I May not have been a quick in achieving this but have done so with excellent results in my TMA's - something that I am most proud of.
