Being able to help others with computer problems they were facing as well as achieving very good marks in my first three tutor marked assignments.

A friend of mine wanted to upgrade his PC to a duo core processor. He bought a new motherboard/processor package and a 1MB graphics card. Thanks to what I've learned from the first few sections of the course I was able to install his new motherboard/processor and correctly connect all the power/signal lines on both the motherboard and then the graphics card. I then helped him install windows Vista. His PC is working brilliantly (his words) and I'm pleased that only a few weeks into the course it's having an impact already.

I HAVE MANAGED TO CONTINUE WITH MY STUDIES EVEN THOUGH I AM WORKING 12 HOUR NIGHTS SIX AND SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, TO COVER FOR LOSS OF INCOME WHILST MY WIFE IS ON MATERNITY LEAVE WITH OUR THIRD CHILD. WHEN I STARTED THE COURSE I NEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT COMPUTERS, BUT I HAVE MANAGED TO INSTALL A DVD RE-WRITER IN MY FATHER INLAWS PC AND I HAVE UPGRADED THE MEMORY ON A FRIENDS PC.

I have recently (start of March) changed my role at work (Personal Injury Lawyers) from mainly a PA/secretarial role to doing ALL of the invoicing (not the best time to start just at Financial Year End!!). I have also taken on ALL of the spreadsheet analysis work for the whole Firm, and, if there is anything involving spreadsheets at all, the senior Partner has requested I take that over too. In spite of all the extra work (on average, an extra 2 hours per day), I have maintained, if not improved, my work study programme and achieved excellent results in all my recent TMA submissions! I must be doing something right at last as I have just completed the TMA 10 for part A of the N+ course
I am hoping to get through the rest of the course successfully, before moving from Manchester towards Swindon to look for a more IT-orientated job that will allow me to have on-the-job training towards the MCSA part of my course.
To topit all, my older daughter has just achieved an Academic Scholarship to a boarding school in Wiltshire (she is aged 9 at the end of the month - my younger daughter turns 2 in the summer). She is going to require some sort of reward and I have indicated I will set a computer up for her, networked to mine, so she can use the internet too.

I'm really happy with my course and school I hope to get a job with it when I finish.

I have resumed my studies in mid February after a few months break. At that time I was doing the old version of N+. My tutors informed me of new course, so with their consultation I opted the latest version of N+.
Studying under my present circumstances is very difficult for me. I have the responsibility of looking after a demanding 1 year old child. My husband is a doctor & has busy commitments in the hospital. Therefore I have to look after my baby, my house, do all the cooking & cleaning & the necessary shopping without any help. My child has difficulty in sleeping so I have to spend sleepless nights with her. Recently my child also remained unwell due to her vaccination. I have my family & friends in the UK who often visit me & I usually find myself entertaining them. In such a situation I managed to take time out of my busy schedule & study 2 hours a day. Despite the above mentioned difficulties I managed to score excellent results obtaining 100% in 6 assignments & 90% in 1 assignment. During the short period of 1 month I completed 8 units out of 10. This in itself is a big achievement.
I think under my circumstances my achievements have been extraordinary by giving the exceptionally excellent results.

I was having very busy time at work cause I work in Supermarket and Easter is coming out but I still tried to study. Other thing is that I know a lot of things written. I gained this knoledge by experence now I can see it from other site filled with more details. My goal is to take this exam in June and rock it. Not tooo much time but pressure is giving me extra motivation.

As a sufferer of "Depressive Psychosis" I find it very difficult to concentrate on learning. With thoughts of harming myself and others going through my head, I can get very distracted. It is, therefore, very impressive that I am maintaining an average of one work unit completed per week, with no scores below 90% so far. Most of my assignments have yielded 100% top marks, and my median average is also 100%, which I am very proud to have acheived.

Top 

Getting a 94% for my first TMA, for me that is an achievement that surpassed my expectation. I therefore put this as a goal to always achieve or more so improve on.

Top 

Since I have started the course I have acheived results beyond what I thought I could. I restarted the course when I sent for the undated version which I find is more in depth and the troubleshouting section is a great help.my TMA scores have ranged from 87% - 100%.All this studying is undertaken while holding down a perminent nightshift job and visiting my children at weekends.since the studying I have been able to help friends family with a variety of pc problems with either hardware or sorfware which I am improving all the time.Hopefully when I have completed some more coursework I will apply for partime jobs to get more experience in this field of further employment

Since I started this course I known much more about computers, than when I started I had little idea on how to use email and I also did clait which I did not finish the course but now I can build a computer which I have already started, I have not finish it because I have't got the money for the material. I can install floppy disk drive, hard drive,and the buses with the motherboard and other devices which I bought in secondhand shop. I also spoke with a friend and he said to me he is sure I can sit for A+ Exams with the level I'm at. I have also gain more knowledge on this course on window installation, I'm really happy with the school and the team staff.
