Before starting my course with Skills train I had worked in various warehouses going nowhere fast , at the beginning of this year I decided not to wait till the end of my course to find a job but to look right away as my partner was expecting my first born child in July of this year.
And with the credit crunch and house prices soaring we needed a 3 bedroomed house straight away so a pay rise was needed urgently.
In May I was rewarded with my studying to get a job as a Network administrator at a manufacturing firm with a bigger pay packet,which enabled us to get on the property ladder.
Thus going to make this a brilliant Christmas in our new family home all thanks to Skills train.

This time next year…things will be different, how many years have I said that?, ohh..this time next year, different job, more money, Christmas wont be the worry and financial drain it has been this year and every year! it's always the same, more worry, more of a drain on my finances, choosing presents more on a basis of what I can afford, than on what I would like to buy for that person, its not that people aren't grateful, but for once I would like to see their faces as they realise their present has been bought for them, with them in mind, based on what I want them to have, something that reflects the value they have in my life.
One case in particular is my ten year old son, Christmas for him seems to start earlier every year, and his Christmas list seems to get longer and longer, we tell him every year the same ‘story' if you are a good boy Santa will bring you what you ask for and every year, he seems to note the things he asked for and didn't get, often asking that he doesn't ‘get it', he has been good, which is open to interpretation, yet still he has presents missing and you know kids, the ones that are missing are always the ones he ‘really had his heart set on'. its hard to try to explain to a child, who still believes in father Christmas and the ‘magic' of Christmas when seen through the ‘innocent' eyes of a child, that ‘money is tight' or ‘that's just too expensive' and how often do you find yourself talking about your Christmas's as a child when you received a present you were grateful for it because ‘times were hard', and so I guess the ‘circle' keeps on turning, we couldn't have what we ‘wanted' for Christmas because ‘money was tight' and now , here I am saying exactly the same thing to my child, using the same arguments my parents, no doubt, used on me.
In August this year, I celebrated being 48 years old, I could continue in the job I have, continue living where I do, continue sitting here at my computer every month, looking at what I get paid into my account and then looking at what I have to pay out and wondering why the latter seems to swallow up all my income and then some, or, I could look at ways I can improve myself, improve my job, improve where I live, and improve my income and that's what Skillstrain means to me, so next Christmas, I aim to be in my new career, with my improved income, be living in a home that my family and I will be happy in, and when we give presents next year, people will know, they have been bought based on what they mean to me and not what I can afford.

How studying with SkillsTrain is going to make this Christmas even better than the last.
I have always had an interest in computers, so when I received a leaflet through my door about SkillsTrain I thought I would enquire about the courses available. I have always been the sort of person that lacks confidence. I then started to think who am I fooling I'm a 42 year old mother of 3, who is likely to want to employ me at my age so again my lack of confidence kicked in. I received a quick response from SkillsTrain and they arranged for a gentleman to come round to my home for a chat to discuss what my options were and what would be suitable for me to study. A gentleman came round and we discussed what was available he gave me a few tests to do and it was decided that I would take the following courses:
CompTIA A+, CompTIA N+, and MCSE and I thought to start with maybe I was taking on more than I could handle, I was unemployed at the time of starting my course and I knew I at least had to try so when I first started my course I was very surprised at how well I was getting on with it. When I was about a month into my studying I applied for a job in a shoe shop as a sales assistant just working 20 hours a week and was over the moon when I received a phone call to say I was successful and could start work the following week. Studying with SkillsTrain had given me the confidence that I had lacked for so many years. I had been working at the shoe shop for about 6 months and the Manager was sacked for personal reasons and I thought oh well back to being unemployed again but to my surprise I was offered the position of Manager I couldn't believe it, who would of thought it me a Manager, I had been unemployed and a single mum for so many years I just knew it had to be because of SkillsTrain I felt more sure of myself and I knew then that I could achieve anything if I wanted too. I am now nearly at the end of my CompTIA A+ course and doing very well. I have just 2 more TMA's to go I have confidence now that I never thought possible I have made a better Christmas and future for myself and my family all because of the first visit from SkillsTrain, somebody at the beginning had confidence it me which helped me to gain confidence in myself.
Thanks SkillsTrain for changing my life for the better.

Wonderful Christmastime... Christmas is just like in Paul McCartney's song. I really think it is. With spirits up, choirs of children singing and people toasting. What a beautiful time it is! I wish preceding weeks were just as enjoyable and pleasant... Unfortunately they are not.
Uproar, fuss, hustle. And You and I in the middle of it trying not to forget what the Christmas is all about, forcing smiles on our tired faces. On the mission to please our intimates and friends with a bit of remembrance in form of gifts and cards. All the overtime taken and time my pregnant missus had spent alone will not go wasted. Oh God, please don't let me skip anyone and reward me with strength and love...
I was given the strength I asked for!! Right after a phone call from my manager, who passed information about me taking CCNA course to our head office. Apparently they want to offer me a job in the head office! As our company is growing really fast they will need more IT people in there to run and maintain internal network, connecting shops in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, Cheltenham and London, distribution centre in Milton Keynes with the head office in Oxford Street in London. This will not only give me an opportunity to work on the Cisco based network and learn from very highly trained and experienced IT people, but will also let me assist them with planning and setting up new branches. This is really great chance for me and a step into mysterious IT world. It involves slight pay rise as well and, what is most important to me, I will not have to travel to Milton Keynes anymore. The time I spend sitting in a traffic I would spend with my partner and soon with my baby!
And there goes the love! This was a great news to me as well as to my beloved missus! Suddenly all felt all right again. There is a bright future ahead for both of us. It really makes us feel couple years younger.
Now I cannot wait till Christmas, despite all the hustle, so I could share the good news with friends and family. This is the best Christmas gift I could get! And I am sure that next year's Christmas preparations will be nothing but fun and joy for three of us. Therefore I would like to thank my partner, my baby-to-be and You Skills Train for keeping me on the right track.
!!!!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I have really enjoyed studying with skillstrain, the support is marvellous, I have learnt a lot of things with computers and have also got a job in which the knowledge gained has helped me a lot in the everyday IT job I do and hopefully wish to be promoted also to an extra skills within IT support. Must say even though it is quite dear in price, its all working out to be worth it.

This Christmas will be better than the last because I'm studying for a new career in computer hardware repair, so the future is brighter and will be more financially rewarding,and giving me more confidence to achieve my ambitions,to do more computer courses and pass exams.

Hi to all and hope you all are looking forward to a snowy white Christmas, I only started my course 2 months ago, I decided to do it because of the credit crunch and the uncertain future of my job, since I started I am still doing my normal job be it a lot quieter at the moment, but the company I work for has also given me the extra chance to work in the IT department on the days when there is no work in my usual department. This is great fun and I actually look forward to quiet days so I can go into HQ and mess about with computers in the warmth. If it wasn't for this course my wages would have dropped around 30-40% but with my new ambition I am still earning a full wage packet.
Thank you skills train and looking forward to the IT department being my main working environment.
