I completed the compTIA A+ Exam last October 2006. I felt a great sense of pride, that after years of not studying I could have accomplished such a feat.
Now I have my own IT business and I am continuing to study with Skills Train towards my CCNA qualification.

It is surprising how at times things turn out to be. I had no knowledge about the computer. I only used the computer to write my essays and print them out, that was it. Every time I encountered the problems i.e. pressing a wrong burton and the work is lost, rebooting, I had to call my dean of studies who used to help me. Then one day, I was running late with the deadline the following and I stayed late at night to finish writing up the work. I did not put the margins properly and it could not print. Being late, I could not call for help. I was really disheartened and nearly got depressed. Then it came to my mind that, if I knew the computer, I would not be in this terrible messy as I would know the problem and work at it. So in December, 2004, I received a leaflet at my door concerning the computer studies. I was afraid to call but after a few days, I gathered the courage and called. Within few days I was told something was visiting me. I was given a test to see at which level I was in the computer, and I said, I only know how to open and close the computer and write essays on it and print them out. The tutor was understanding. When I first receied the first lessaon, it was a little bit hard and almost gave up. But the fear of calling someone whenever, I encountered the problem was a driving force. Now I am enjoying the course and I am happy that I started it.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE:
Do not get discouraged you can do it. Believe in yourself and know that there are others who have had the feeling you are experiencing. Reading through other people's stories, was great encourgement. It is good to share our experiences that is when you discouver that you are not alone. The tutors are very understanding and stand by your side all the way through.
I am not on TMA 10 and have got the momentum to go on till the end.
If others can then you can too. For "where there is a will, there is a way."

I have been studying the A+ course for just 2 weeks and I have already completed Section 1 Part A and am currently waiting for Part B. I do not have that much time to study considering that I currently work in a demanding, responsible job managing a corporate car hire account for Asda which is a big test for me at the same time. The position is about to end but it has really shown me what I am capable of; to manage this course and the job at the same time.

I managed to push myself finally to focus more on finishing the course well prepared for the exam. It's quite difficult for me as I have been working on a shift basis since I started the course. Apart from that English is not my native language so I struggled really recently to keep submitting last TMA's. But I feel now more focused know to complete CISCO TMA's quicker and with even more in-deep study.

With not having my own PC at home, I'm having to rely on the public ones at my local library in order to do my course. I am currently working on TMA 16 of the A+ section, I feel as though I've made good progress given my circumstances and all being well I will be doing my first big exam next month hopefully.

I have set up small home wireless network between my computer - desktop PC, Windows XP Professional, and my friend's laptop - PC Windows XP Media Center Edition. My desktop PC operate with wireless Belkin USB adapter (I have no wireless PCI card). My friends laptop has built in wireless card. I set up connection Ad-Hoc with sharing folders between our computers. Additionaly I share my internet connection with my friend, so she can get internet acces on her laptop by my PC. I don't really know how does it work, but it works. The biggest problem to me was to configure windows firewall. I really hope, that I get enough knowledge during my courses to understand how does it really work and why still hard reset is requested when installing some drivers (wireless belkin USB adapter). Soft reset doesn't work at all. Since my old Atari ST there are still drivers, programs reset resistant.
