I nearly gave up on this course I am doing, with work work getting me down and getting Married back in November last year, work and the marriage took a lot of my time since me and my new wife had to plan the wedding which was in south africa. after the wedding and the christmas rush at work, as I am a chef, I had no time to be able to study, if I wasn not working I was a sleep. after December in the beggining of the new year I decided to pick it up again and now I hope I have finished the second part of my course. I now know I will not give up, because when I pass and have the certificate in my hands it will be the begging of a new life for me and my wife who we both would like to start a family but are not in a position to do yet.

Just a note to anyone thinking of giving up DON`T, it is worth pursuing.

Hi, so far I have managed to achieve 90%-100% on 7 TMAs out of 11. which I think is quite good. I have two very young boys that keep me busy (ages 2 & 4), sometimes its very hard to fit any coursework in. This month it has been extreamly difficult for me with both of my children having chickenpox (reflected in TMA 11 first submission).

I find it hard to pick out my good points. I feel that I have learnt alot in the past few months. I always look forward to the next part. My knowledge has increased.

When I started the course I thought that there was nothing much really to designing a web site and that it was a piece of cake, but I soon realised there is alot more to it then just adding pictures and text. Thanks for reading!

I started my course in September 2006 and since then Ive changed jobs, moved home from rent to a MORTGAGE!, aswell as having to do up our home we have just introduced a little puppy to the clan and she does not want me to study (lol).
Im finally getting the time and effort (and I mean EFFORT) to sort my life out and get a career I deserve and my first TMA I got 100%

I've just finished the 7th book of my course and am waiting for the last section of it. In fact it took me less than a month to read that book and doing all it's assignments, I think it was a very good achievement for me and now I believe that, I've gained a very good understanding of IT in general after being on this course for a while. I'm using my knowledge to help others and am very satisfied about whole things, I hope to complete my course in the near future and starting a new challenge. thanks

I have managed to get into Section B of the foundation level, and I am half way through. I hope that I will be able to complete the section before the end of either next week or the beginning of the following week. Then I can get onto the C section. I have been on the course since October 2006.

I have been amazed at how much I have been able to help my company sort out a few issues with their website just by studying the xhtml lessons in section B. I am constantly helping clients out and the challenge is to make sure that I am ahead of the game. It is working so far. Thanks to the course work and the course is going really well, achieving high results.

Hi, I started this course from May last year (I think). As a foreigner, my first goal was to make some money and improve my english. But thinking about my future, I know that money is not everything. One day, Ill go back with knowledge I had gained. I hope, that one of these achievement will be completed course of CIW. Im only in section 2-javascript basics.I know how much I have to study to complete all 4 sections, pass the final test and get work a dream about.After that, I dont have to work so hard and can spend more time with my girlfriend and 2 years old wee boy, enjoy life and be with them, cause they need me.

Well,as a person who have just been in the course for 3 months can not say much yet .Rather, maybe my systematical way of doing it can be a step to achievemet as well as the personal interest in the course and the will to continue it.It is always easier when you like it.So for the time being keep on doing it and that is ok.I can say that definetely I am getting a more familiar with the 'Internet technology' than before.Thanks.

I have been able to learn great skills in web design, development, planning and management through my course with Skill Train.
I have also kept / met my target of complete my TMA every week, not just that I completed the TMA every week; I completed them with excellent results.

Between 2 months (even in my very busy schedules) of enrolling for my course I have been able to complete successful Section 1 - Part and I am almost done with Section 1 - Part B.

I have really learnt a whole lot during these courses and the Lab are just wonderful.
I have been able to put to practical use all the ideas and lessons I have learnt so far.

It's a privilege to be a part of Skills Train - There can never be a better option.

I joined Skillstrain during December 2006, I have managed to work through my first course book (CIW Website Design Manager - Section 1 Part A) and have got pass marks on all the assignments. This has been hard for me as my wife is ill at present and I have had to help raise 5 children while studying as well as helping my wife in her studies and working part time. It has been difficult to snatch study time but I have achieved this after bedtimes despite the need to wake up at 5:30am to get to work.

-Richard 

I AM UNDERTAKING A 3 YEAR DEGREE AT GOLDSMITHS UNIVERSITY AS WELL AS HAVING A PART TIME JOB AT WEST HAM UNITED FOOBALL GROUND. WITH ALL THIS I AM STILL CAPABLE OF MANAGING MY TIME TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR MY WEB DEESIGN MANAGEMENT COURSE.

I start my course in August and I found it very interesting to learn website designing in English language. From the beggining I finish all TMA with minimum result of 82% and 5 times with 100% and I'm proud with my work! :)
I even design a website for my friend's shop. I use a lot of information that learnt in this course. I made whole website in XHTML 1.1 Strict and it pass validation! I look forward to finish course as soon as possible with the highest results and I will design professional websites.
Thank you Skills Train

-Niel 

In my first two assignments I got a 90% mark and a 95% mark, in my third assignment I got a 59% mark, mainly due to me suffering from angina and spending some time in hospital but hopefully with my hard work and effort my mark will be alot higher on my re-submission. Also, at any moment now my daughter is due to give birth to my first grandchild! In conclusion, through heart problems, job loss problems and supporting my daughter in her first child birth, I am still committed to completing my course to a very high standard.
