Having realised that due to a back problem Iwould have to give up nursing, I started to look for a new career. I came across an advert for skillstrain and spoke to one of their representatives. They informed me of several choices and career paths I could take in IT. I'am presently near the end of my CIW Assosiates and E-Commerce+ Project management course, after studying at home in my own time and a relaxed enviroment. I'am pleased to say that recently I have been able to submit several TMA's in a relatively short space of time and getting results between 90-100%. I'm so pleased that I decided to take the step of changing careers and by enroling on my present course. I now know that although I wil not be able to continue nursing to health problems and chronic pain, I will be able to have a enjoyable and rewarding career in IT, which enjoy emencely. There is a futre for myself and one with good prospects thanks to skillstrain. I would advise anyone to train with skillstrain as it is a pleasant and rewarding experience leading to a satisfying future.Thanks skillstrain.

I have started my own webdesign company and love the help this course has given me.

Working on nightshifts 12hours for 5/6 days without access to a PC at work. Yet I still manage to do my lab practice and submit TMAs' using my PC only when at home. This I belief is a wonderful achievement under the prevailing circumstances and I hope to continue until I reach the end.

It has been amazing how quick I have progressed in my course work. My tutor team have been very helpful as they are a call away. I have just submitted my TMA5 and am looking forward for my next phase of assignments.

I am trying do as much as I can to achieve my course and get certificate despite working full-time including bank holidays and weekend as that is the requirement of my job. The course which I doing is not that easy especially when English is my second language. I try not to give up despite "weak days" which are really hard for me :) I would like to wish all students all the best in achieving qualifications and lots luck in career.

I am so proud, I know its nothing for some students but I have done 3 assignments within a month, as having a special need child at home, looking after him and working and trying to complete my study course, all that can be a bit hand full.

At university I had the choice of doing computer programming or business, I chose business because I thought it would be easier for me. I have been really running away from computer courses because the thought of all the computer jargon frightened me.

Guess what? Six years later here I am doing a course in E-Commerce and Project Management, thanks to SkillsTrain, it is not as scary as I thought it would be already I have submitted two assignments and got 100% in each. I really find it fun to learn about the various components that make up the internet, already this course has enhanced my internet surfing experience.

Thanks for the session, it helped me to identify how best I learn and other things I could do that would help me to retain information.

It has not been easy doing this course and submitting assignment, as I am a priest of the Church of England and spend more time on pastoral and spiritual issues affecting members, developing my spiritual life, and above all, a final year LLM (Canon Law) - Ecclesiatical Law part time student (Cardiff Law School) writing coursework and also preparing for my project. Nevertheless; hard work, discipline, determination and time management helped to finished my TMA 01 which I had 90%. I believe this is great achievement.

I successfully completed TMA 01 (Tutor Marked Assignment), with a 95% pass, I would like to believe that I managed very well, as I currently have two jobs to go to, one in the morning, which is very physical and drains me of energy, and my second job, which is more so physical as opposed to my first. I finish work at 9:30pm, after which I come home to study for what was two hrs a day and now is 3 hrs. It sometimes takes me half an hour or more to go from work to home. By the time I get home I'm shattered and all I want is to sleep after a long and strenuous day, but that doesn't happen. I start studying at around 11pm -2am most days of the week, these including: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are not as texting. However, I know the strain and stress are only for a season, and with hope that when all is done it will have all been worth every hour of routine stressful dedication. Thank you.

I am particularly happy with my outstanding performance in my first assignment. I have worked in IT department of a bank in my country for about three years as a computer graduate. My work is basically supporting users for effective use of the bank's application package(equinox banking system). I have just little or no knowledge of the hardware, networking/internet functionalities. Even most times I have to call my colleagues which a specialist in that area to help me setup my computer. My first lesson taught me so much and the material coupled with the lab experiences have made the whole thing sink so easily. The case study also help you to think and bring all that you have learnt to use. In just the first lesson I have learnt so many thing about the including the proper use of the resource centres. I can now configure my browser to what I want using the option button in the tools menu. Within the few days I started the programme I have learnt what I didnt know about internet and web browser since I started working. This programme is really a great one and I can wait to finish to demonstrate all that I have learn in providing solutions and adding values to whoever would employ me. I try my best to devote at least two hours to reading my material every day and that has helped me alot. I have submitted my second assignment and have started reading the third lesson. Hopefully before the end of this week I would submit my third assignment. I am mostly encouraged by the progress I am making and the level I learnt new thing which I can put to practical use. Thanks to the developers of this programme. It has really made much impact in me. The tutors are wonderful and always ready to assist. Is indeed a great programme.
