My recent achievements are, to activate my on log in account on our home PC,I have customized my own desktop and set up an internet connection. The benefits of this are two-fold,(1)I would never have been able to do this before starting my course with SKILLS TRAIN and I feel proud that I have achieved this.(2) It keeps all my work and course notes under the control of a password, thus reducing the chance of my children deleting any of my work by mistake. I am really enjoying this course and I am looking forward to the next part arriving. Thank-you. It is interesting to discover more about computers, and there uses and hope that by the time I have completed the course, will be much wiser, and hopfully to gain a good career in the future. I have decided to give up television and do more studying as I want to be working in the IT world. The job I am doing now is of no benefit to me so the more hours I can put in the study the quicker I will be able to finsh. I spend more than two hours watching TV so why not I said to myself indulge yourself in studying. It is a bit boring at time to read so much but what the heck just do it. So for me this is my achievement I sent in my TMA. I start on the next lesson and by time the previous lesson returns I have finshed the one I am on. I AM 53YEARS OLD AND JUST PASSED MY NVQ LEVEL 2 IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE AND THAT WAS SIX CORE UNITS. While doing this course I have been looking after my 8yr old son and my 20 week old daughter while working full time although you May not see this as an achievement I feel quite proud that I can do this and stay sane. Training, and keeping good scores whilst under heavy pressure at work after being TUPE transferred to a new company and having to cope without my booking system and accounts help. Also after 2 months taking on a colleagues workload as she went on maternity leave. Having known nothing about computers I enrolled on this course to hopefully start my career off, as when I left school I had a baby at the age of 17. I've done work in the past but nothing that's intrested me as much as my computer course. I have just finished the first two chapters and gained marks of 95% and 100% which I was more than pleased with. I got 100 per cent in my last TMA even though I had to take care of my mother and still am ,as she has just had a heart bypass.I have been studying longer than usual just to take my mind of what my mother has been through as she is in her 70s. I know I am doing the most basic of the skillstrain courses but I feel that it has helped me catch up with the knowledge I have lost with not using computers on a daily basis. I have found the studying for the TMA's and concentrating on passing them has helped make with my resent split with my partner and having to move back home a little less traumatic. We have two top grade PC's and a laptop, all belonging to other family members in the home, so I feel that doing as many TMA's as I have with trying to share hardware and do a full time job(sometimes 12hr days) it is a great achievement and something I never thought I could do. It has helped me with work projects as well where I achieved a high standard of presentation, due to becoming more familiar with our PC programs. I loved computers and everything about them when I was at school. Even though I have only recently started it has become a focus point for me and I am back to being as inquisitive as I was before. I am hoping now that the course is progressing that I will continue to do well in the TMA's and hopefully at the end receive a qualification to help improve my working life. I REALLY DO ENJOY DOING MY COURSE. ALTHOUGH I AM FAMILIAR WITH THIS WORK, AND WAS A I.T STUDENT AT COLLEGE. I NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECAP MY MIND ON COMPUTER SKILLS. I have acheived my goal of gaining 70% in my first course work, even though I have a family of four children under the age of sixteen. I am also doing a course in english, so it is very time consuming for me. I know that I have done my best and will continue to do so until I've completed my course. I scored 19/20 in the aptitude test before I was offered a place to do this course, I also scored 75% in my first Tutor marked assignment and 93% in the second assignment. I've been very much encouraged with this achievement because I graduated since July 2004 and have been praying hard to find a career. I've managed to cope with the pressure of having to go to work, take care of my family, and doing the house work. I have been feeling very fufilled since I started this course. I have also understood a lot more about my laptop. I had it for four years but known little about the specifications. I now know what to buy when next I will like to buy a new one. I've also understood what it means to upgrade a Computer. My laptop had been quite slow for sometimes now, but I learnt from my study to defragment the hard drive at regular intervals to improve its' performance and I have done so. I've learnt a lot about printers and known what to buy when next I want to buy a new one. I have learnt a lot about the relevance of IT in the business world having watched the DVD video given to me. I'm so excited because I'm sure I'm on the right track. I'll work hard to become a Database Administrator. I have achieved much more then I expected myself to so far. I am on my seventh assignment and I am also juggling mother hood and a full time job. I am hoping to finish this course before I get married in November. all the tutors have been a great help when I have needed it
