I would like to be voted because I feel that this is a massive step in my life to take I am 40 years old married with 3 kids I have no qualifications and a very limited knowlegde of computers. I also work 60 hours a week on nights and its really hard to get the motivation to complete my course and my only motivation is my family I'm doing it for them as much as me. also my first tma I sent in I only got a 60% mark which hurt but with the support of aminna I re submitted for the second time and got 100% and thats really got me going. I cant wait for the rest of the course.

Well what can I say I have been down at heart the last few months about my course work trying to fit it in with my day to day routine and of course my three year old son !! I was contemplating giving the course up but then I said to myself hey you wont achieve anything by giving up so I took the situation in hand and started again. I gave the fabulous tutors a ring and together they got me back on track and I feel more in control and am actually starting to enjoy the course once again thanks again everyone !! I am sure I will be speaking to you again soon enough .

At the moment I am working my way though the course I am also working on plans to start up my own buisness in photography which takes up alot of my time.
I am also looking for work which takes up alot of time and is hard work due to having attend college 5 days a week and undertaking a work placement at a homeless shelter which leaves me knackerd by the end of the day.

I have excelled in all of my TMA's so far, (nothing lower than a 90% mark) and I am determined to complete my course work by the end of summer. Thanks to my studies I have been able to help my other family members setup a secure wireless network. My inspiration has been my beautiful daughter who is now 4 months old. I am working towards being able to support my family in a career as a Network Administrator.

I was first attracted to your courses, because of the flexibilty of being able to study around my commitments. Having like most people a very busy and quite often hectic life. I have been studying for some time and have received quite good marks throughout the course.The work is sometimes quite taxing, but always rewarding knowing that you have gained a little bit more of that knowledge you require. When I first started the course I was a sort of "can i" person,however as I have progressed through the course I have seen my self confidence grow and now feel that I have gone from this "can i" person to a "I can do"person. I have worked in a manufacturing enviroment all of my working life,but felt that I wanted more out of my working career, I was prepared to search for this career elsewhere if necessary. However recently a position became availiable in my company.This position was a salaried and staff rated position.I applied for for position and recently attended an interview which I admit was quite nerve racking,but with my confidence high answered all ther questions as best as I could . Well I am pleased to be able to say that I was succesful, and start my new career with my own office etc after the bank holiday. I am positive that starting and studying on this course has helped me and boosted my self confidence alot and am looking forward to my new career and it challenges.

I have recently started the course and am well on the way to sending my TMA 02. I was recently made unemployed and paying for the course looked like it wouldnt happen. I was still studying the course and it was extremely difficult as I was being pressured by my bank regarding mortgage repayments. I have found new employment and am hard at the studying, already I have learned a heck of a lot and its all thanks to joining you!!!

Recently I changed ISP, because I've moved house. It took quite a while for my new ISP to send me the new modem and installation pack, so I tried to connect my wireless router what I used before with my previous ISP. I could see that I have DSL connection, but I still could not reach the Internet. Thanks for my studying about wireless networking, I could find enough information to set up the router, and now I have a secured, fast wireless internet. My neighbour is an old lady, who is also started to study how to use computer, and she likes history. I took my laptop to her, so she could use my internet to find information about her relatives even from 18th century!

I was made redundant after thirty years in the catering industry at Christmas 2006. I enrolled with Skillstrain, and started my course in January of this year. Because of the knowledge I have already gained from studying the course materials, I have managed to get a job, not only in IT, but actually showing people how to use their computers.

As a student of skillstrain you don't really know what you made up of until you are confronted with challenges.
My first challenge was choosing a computer for my uncle and being responsible for maintaining and ensuring that the computer is in good condition, I almost refuse knowing am still a student not yet a certified pc specialist. The pc came with a security software installed in it, he wanted to replace the security software with another which I advice him not to do. Few days latter he told me about an error message that keep popping up, it has not made him enjoyed using the pc. After a brief questioning he finally told me he removed the anti virus software that came with the pc which I warned him not to remove. The bad thing about this error message is that even when you click ok it appears within the next few seconds, but with the knowledge I gained from my course materials I was able to solve the problem even when the manufactures support department could not do any thing about it. So far I have been able to solve two more problems due to human fault on the pc. Ever since then I suddenly developed this confidence of carrying out maintenance on his pc and my brother's laptop. As PC specialist confidence is a must have , if you don't have it then its not there but with skillstrain you are assured .

I had to leave my home and family and move back to England with my 2 year old son where we had to start from scratch. I had no formal qualifications in IT but with self taught experience I enrolled with skillstrain and started to turn things around, I am now powering my way though my A+ juggling life as a single parent and hoping to start work in an IT field within the next few months. Thank you skillstrain!
