2007 was the hardest time for me, in my whole life. In January my Dad died and month after I was moving home. My thoughts and my feelings of the lost of some one closed to my heart made me sank. There was no chance for me to do any studying as there was time for me deal with so important issues as family and home; and I could not failed on that. Now I am back to what I have so much wanted, it is the studying. Sometimes, Still it happens , that my tears roll on my cheeks but looking into the future and being one day the great help for others puts my spirit up and helps me to carry on with my studying.
I am very proud of myself, as recently I helped my sister fix her computer and installed the internet on the phone and that is not an easy job when you are not able to see the equipment. After 5 hours of my help I became succesfull and my sister can enjoy using her computer.

In the last month I have successfully completed my ECDL, alongside studying towards gaining comptia A+, I have now completed TMA03, this for me is very self rewarding, I can NOW help my Daughter with her computer problems without too many hickups, this is all thanks to the training & help that I have found invaluable and look forward to continuing my studying.

I continued with the course content with the added pressure of a new job and two new babies!!! Life is tough!!!

I have found much of the information in this course completely mind-blowing so my learning curve has been huge!!! However, last month I was able to identify that my manager's computer had suffered a terminal error (blue screen plus a message saying preparing to dump hard drive data!! not too difficult I know but rather satisfying to know I had got it right!). I am doing this course whilst working full time and trying to organise two children, one of which is trying to get into the GB squad for slalom canoeing and combining study with plenty of training and driving is interesting. I am determined to complete this course as I have worked in the Health Service all my life and feel that this is one of my few options for changing my life and having some choice in what I do and when I do it. Unfortunately I am unwell at the moment and having to take time off work - first time in my life apart from maternity leave so this is a new experience and not a pleasant one. Continuing to study when I can and get nearer to changing my life and that of my family for the better.

When I've started this course I had two big problems: 1st-I had four years break from studying and 2nd I'm originally from Poland and I was afraid that IT language will be to hard to fully understand. Fortunately all course material are written in simple, easy to understand terms, and even when I have to read each unit few times I'm very happy with my knowledge and my progress which encourage me to study more!

I recently passed MU120 as part of my degree course for the open university(unfortunately no score was given for this course as it is a refresher course for those entering into a degree in Computing and mathematical science), as well as studying for tma05 (ok so I didn't pass this first time) and my grades for my A+ course are pretty high considering the fact that I am studying two courses at once. I have also recently built a new computer for my GodDaughter and put her on my network as well, as regularly helping my friends and family with thier own computer related problems.

The Live Internet Training was a very good session, and effective, not because it was an easy topic. I studied this material recently and it was effective opportunity to revise it.

THE NEW SKILLS I HAVE PICKED UP FROM STUDYING WITH SKILLSTRAIN HAVE BEEN NOTICED AT WORK AND I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE DUTY OF TRAINING NEW STARTERS ON THE COMPANYS COMPUTERS. I WILL BE RECIEVING AN EXTRA PAY AWARD WHEN I COMPLETE MY COURSE, AND THE IT BOSS HAS BEEN SHOWING ME THE COMPANYS SERVER TO HELP ME WITH MY COURSE. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO FINISHING THE FIRST PART OF MY COURSE AND GAINING SOME QUALIFICATIONS.

I started this course in January. I can't beleive I have so much confidence using my IT skills now.

I am really happy with all knowledge I acquired.

Thanks to skillstrain tutors for helping me get through.

First of all, before I started this course I didn't know anything about hardware, but now I can make backups of my laptop and apart from that, I now know much about PCs. I can connect my laptop to Internet without anybody helping me.

Although my grades are never 100%, I believe I show that I'm honest in my assessments, I never cheat, I try to be honest with myself about how much I know, and really try to make the most out of the information available to me. Whenever I can I try to make the most of the knowledge I've learnt from the course and use it in my day to day work with computers, to make sure I remember things better, by using them daily. I'm hoping to learn a whole lot more and prove my effectiveness at work even more, and hopefully increase my chances of promotion and wage increases.

I already had a good IT knowledge but have so far managed 100% on all my assignments (Just submitted TMA05), it's been a nice refreshment so far and I can't wait to get further in!

In between my studying I work full time days, look after my son 3-4 evenings a week & I'm also a dj/producer & have a weekend internet radio show as well as other dj/producer work.
