Hi, I took on this course last May in hopes of being able to start a new career. I am only 20 but I have been a restaurant manager since I was 18. I have always loved computering and when I decided to start a course it was more like a hobby for me. Now I have a real ambition to succeed in this. up untill 31st of January I was a restaurant manager for bhs and I had to travel by train for an hour an half there and a hour and a half back every day. Im caring for my nan aswell after work (my brother takes care of her during the day). So I was often doing 12 hour work days then starting again when I came home. So I took the decision to change jobs so that I could be around for my nan more. Now im supervisor for costa coffee and on less money. The reason I took a demotion was because since starting this course I havent had time to complete it. Now I have an hour a day where I can study hard and acheive what I believe is my ideal career. Thank You

I am currently working for a website design company as a sales person which just involves acquiring new clients, but through my studies with skillstrain on the website design manager course I have been able to demonstrate a much wider knowledge of websites and the Internet and I am also getting involved with the development work. I hope on completion of the course to work solely as a website designer.

I have achieved a great deal in my mind, I have learned the meaning of 100+ words that before starting this course, I had absolutely no knowledge of.
I am now able to deal with many situations with my computer which I have had trouble dealing with in the past. I have a 85% pass ratio on my TMA's ( completed 2 so far) and I only started it in November. Recently my sister bought herself a PC, and because of this course I have been able to setup her computer with all the right software and will be able to help her with any troubles she May have.

Since joining Skills Train earlier this year, I have been working on a potential project in Asset Management in Africa. The size of the project is quite enormous and this is meant to put in place a management tool for the client which will enable them a more effective management of their transport fleet, storage facilities as well as administrative operations. I was terribly skeptical over being able to handle the preliminary aspects of this project given the fact that I live in the UK and I am running a training course.

However, over the past four hectic months, I have managed to juggle all these plus family demands - gorgeous wife and two ninja turtles aged 2 and 4 who strongly believe that they are BIG BOYS. I have been awarded the contract for the project for all the client's locations in the entire African continent as well as attracted venture capital funding for the project as well.

I am currently working 40 hours per week on average at my job. Alongside I am trying to write out a PhD research proposal that has to do with corporate roles in environmental destruction. I manage to keep pace with this course because I like it,and it is relevant in most fields of life. Each time I submit an assignment, I seem to have an appreciable score. Reading the notes to understand is not a problem but having time to read for, is the greatest challenge.

With my limited schedule, I have achieved an exceptional results for the past four (4) weeks. I submitted 4 course work within November. I am doing this alongside with my work and writing - up of my LLM Thesis which due by December 2007. I have done extremely good, so far as my results are concerned.

I feel that despite being ill for the last 2 weeks still having to battle through my current full time job whilst being ill and also helping my Father in law pack his house up as he is moving in a couple of weeks, I still managed to find the time to continue with my course.

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.

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.
