SkillsTrain Courses

I have started my course this month which is a huge achievement for me having been stagnant and unsure of my future direction for some time. I have completed the first two TMAs and got 100% and 97% respectively and have just submitted my third TMA. This is a massive achievement for me as I am so busy working and have also played several gigs with my band in the evenings and been rehearsing twice a week for an opera performance. I'm not actually sure how I've managed to fit studying in to all this but my personal determination has found a way and I have been rewarded with good results which have motivated me even further to suceed with my course.

MY WIFE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH CRONES DISEASE. MY SON IS AT A VERY DEMANDING AGE 4. I WORK FULL TIME AS A BUS DRIVER/ DEPOT CONTROLLER.
I WORK LONG HOURS BUT ALWAYS FIND TIME FOR STUDY I CARRY MY STUDY BOOKS WITH ME ALL THE TIME AND TAKE ANY OPPORTUNITY I CAN TO STUDY. I'AM DETERMINED TO SUCCEED AND PROVIDE A BETTER FUTURE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.
I'VE ALREADY DECIDED THAT ONCE I'VE COMPLETED MY CURRENT COURSE I INTEND ON DOING ANOTHER COURSE TO BETTER MYSELF FURTHER

In April of this year, I applied for a new job with a Local Council for the position of Supervisor in a CCTV control room. Although I already held qualifications in management of CCTV, I decided to include the fact that I was studying for 3 I.T. related qualifications in the application.

I was invited to an interview where I was able to show the course work I was currently studying and material on the next two courses. More importantly I was able to show them my TMA results, with 17 out of 21 being 100%. The Council are currently in the process of changing over from an analogue to fully digital system, utilising the latest in I.P network systems. Because of what I have learnt on the course, combined with prior knowledge of CCTV, I was successful in getting the job.

On my first day I met with the manager who stated that I was the first in for interview and set the benchmark for the rest, with no-one coming near. They attributed this to my present qualification in CCTV, but more importantly the training I am currently undertaking and the qualifications I will hopefully achieve in A+, N+ and MCSE. This, they felt, was of great use to them with the new system coming on-line in the next couple of months, with myself as the administrator. It also means I get valuable hands on training with the contractors, overseeing the installation of the system.

Although I have taken quite a big reduction in pay to get this job, I see it as a worth while investment in the long run. I now have more time to dedicate to studying, aswell as moving in to a job I wouldn't even have thought possible for at least another 1-2 years.

I have just had the worst news of all, the hospital put a camera down my throat and found a lump in my stomach which is cancer, this means that I have to go in to have it removed, they have said it is a straight forward operation but I have given enough blood to make my arms look like a dartboard, this on top of my back operations is enough to put anyone over the edge, but instead I have decided that I am going to move to the coast. Me and my wife went down yesterday and looked at 3 houses and I also made a visit to the job center and spoke to a lady in the center and inquired about work and to my amazement when I pass my A+ and N+ she said there is a load of jobs open to me and within 2 1/2 miles there was 5 computer shops and one of them said to come in for an interview when I am qualified, this has gave me the push I needed to complete the courses I am studying, this opportunity is down to skillstrain giving me the qualifications needed to better my life and my families, and I can take the dog for a walk on the coast, what a life to look forward to.

I have just completed, successfully, the A+ content of my couse and have applied to take the public exam. At the age of 55 and having suffered 3 strokes, it has, to say the least been a challenge. It has, however, been very rewarding. I have become a volunteer home visitor for the RNIB, helping clients with their computer problems, at the same time gaining what I hope is invaluable practical experience.

July of 2006, I arrived in the UK. Coming from a mining background and considering the fact that mining is almost non-existent in England, I wondered what job/course I would undertake to match with my mining skills. Meanwhile, I was later to find a part-time job in a Food Factory and this would help me pay towards my course.

One morning, I received several mails in my mailbox and among them was a leaflet from SKILLSTRAIN, listing a host of IT courses. I was attracted and wanted to know more and with a little hesitance, I called Skillstrain and a meeting with one of their Course Advisor was arranged. The meeting emerged to be fruitful and I was going to register for the CIW Website Design Manager Course.

I begun my CIW Section 1 - Part A course with low marks on my first TMA and finished with a sounding 100% pass mark. I am currently studying Section 1 - Part B. It has not been easy though but I have developed belief in myself in what am currently studying. My performance could only be attributed to the good format which Skillstrain has laid out its unique training program which I find so helpful. More important the staff are always ready to help students get as much as possible out of their course and have a sense of urgency that can be seen in their prompt response to queries.

In my opinion, the unique training program for Skillstrain provides,
a) Material content on what-to-do
b) Supplies a method on how-to-do it and
c) Meets the "acid test" that is, seeing students get excellent results.

That to me is outstanding!
There is nothing in my life that gives me more satisfaction than knowing that am surrounded by experienced Skillstrain Tutors who are willing to see me accomplish my course. It is just fun to feel myself growing more confident day by day.

Hats off to Skillstrain!!

Since I started the Skill train course, I have successfully managed to complete Comptia Net+ course and Examination, although I have been under lot of pressure in my normal work with dead line to meet and taking site visit. At moment I am now also working toward ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualification Board) foundation examination and carrying on with my CCNA course. Hence for me it is all the way up hill doing my normal work and keeping my course work on target and learning new things.

Thank you.

I knew not a lot about IT before I started this course, but hope to succeed and become succesfull in working within the IT industry.

I've always been a slow learner, and for some reason, never been able to understand or catch up with my education. After leaving school due to severe social anxiety disorder, I thought a career would be impossible to achieve. I've studied really hard with skills train and already I find myself learning more in a few months than I've learnt in my 12 years at school. This is an amazing achievement for me.
