SkillsTrain Courses

This has been a great month for me. I've managed to finish off the coursework for Section 1 of my course, and have been flying through Section 2 (Javascript). At the same time, I have been asked to design a website for a friend, and have been invited to quote for a paying job for a national charity. I was very pleased with the quote I submitted. I know I wouldn't have had the information or the confidence to put together a quote like that before I started training with Skillstrain. I won't know if I've got the contract until after the 4th August, but I'm confident I've given a good account of myself. If I do get the contract, I'll have earned two thirds of my course fees back on one job! If I don't, I'll have gained good experience of quoting to a customer's brief and planning a project. I'm liking July!

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.

Well this is not my first time of attending LIT but whenever I have the opportunity to say one or two things regarding this fantastic system of lecturing, it will always be full of praises. What else can I say rather than saying a big thank you to all members of skillstrain who where in charge of the session - their teaching and speaking was very plain and clear. I would like to thank all those engineers that made it possible for us to enjoy this type of training, it feels like you are in classroom which is great.

Having the worry of my mother having cancer twice, and strugelling with depression and a serious chronic back condition, I recently traveled down to the Skills Train facility in Luton (from manchester) where I sat the City and Guilds web design exam (and hopefully passed). This was a very painfull experience but I got through it with the help of the Excelent SkillsTrain staff. This experience has spured me on and I now have the Foundations Exam booked and am confident that I will succeed even though I have to revise whilst lying flat on the floor AND trying to look after my son (being a single parent).

Have been working 2 jobs and have been studying in tea breaks and lunch hours. The company I work for has a Communications division and the director of it heard about what I was doing and the course I was studying. He has offered me a position as Communications Engineer. I am now working on Telecoms, Data Comms, Audio Visual,Security and Wirless.

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.

For 21 years I was a digger driver to trade with no IT background at all. Not being one to sit back and accept the fact that it just works , who cares how (My PC that is ) and armed with a desire to know more I started out on a voyage of discovery . I now find myself at the opposite end of the scale.I appear to have become the village IT man . The knowledge I have gained through my N+ is incredible . My PC skills are impressing my kids 17 & 14 which is saying something . My CCNA although difficult is proving rewarding and hopefully at the end of it all will be a job offer that will put my new found skills to the test . The down side, if you could call it that, is my employer and friend can see the progression from digger driving PC illeterate cabbage to intellectual IT man . He knows that the day is drawing closer when I will shake his hand, thank him for the good times, curse him for the bad times and wish him bon voyage as I head off into the sunset port-folio in hand as a qualified IT man. All of this is thanks to the back up I have from you guys. You sit in the wings ever watch-full never criticising and always ready to help. It is appreciated. Thanks for everything

After a few months studying for the Network+ exam I landed a full time IT Support job with my now current employer who was impressed with my commitment to the course. I have now passed the exam and am certified and now have the chance of a promotion because of this.

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.

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.
