I’ve enjoyed training with James Thornton. Staff are always very friendly and happy to help with queries and questions. I would be more than happy to recommend the Student campus to anyone wanting to start a career in I.T. I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor - Sif has always gone out of his way to help all students and also tried every effort to help them understand, both in practices and theory! Thanks to Emma, Angie and Grim for helping in all ways! Massive thank you to Sif!
Good course, excellent trainers, company quick to respond to the concerns of students. There was an excellent atmosphere, relaxed and professional. The staff are pleasant and give encouragement. I'm looking forward to passing my exams and spreading the word about this course.
The course was well structured and there was help on hand at all times. The layout of the course made it easy to learn the information needed to take the exams.
Thank you Student Campus for providing the Server and the XP course. The tutor was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of his own experience in teaching.
I enjoyed my time at James Thornton and was happy with the training I was given. I feel confident with the skills I obtained and feel I can put them across in the work environment.
I have found the course interesting and have gained a lot of new skills and good knowledge in the I.T. area. The tutor was good and helped to make the learning process easy and interesting throughout.
The tutor has been knowledgeable about all the course material and has given ideas of how to progress in my career in I.T. I will continue to study and hope to migrate my music software knowledge with my networking skills and hope to get into Media Centre Server work.
Rocking class. Tutor was the best ever! Best course I ever took.
The tutor was one of the best I have encountered due to his knowledge, patience, clarity of speech and ability to put terms in real world examples.
The moment they gave us the course materials on the first day, I knew that James Thornton is for real. Proper Microsoft course materials and proper Microsoft trained trainers who have in-depth knowledge of the interface. I am really confident with the interface and 100% sure I will pass all my exams excellently. I got 100% in the first exam (Windows XP Professional 70-270).
I started at James Thornton in July 2006, after struggling to find appropriate employment. With James Thornton I got first class training and guidance, both in the classroom and by the staff, helping me to find the kind of employment I was looking for. At the moment I only finished 2 of my MCP’s, and I am already employed at Capgemini, a Microsoft Gold Partner. With this experience I will be able to advance my career and further my studies.
I am now looking forward to finishing my MCSA, and with the help of James Thornton Group find even more exciting and rewarding route to expand my career as a systems administrator.
James Thornton was quick and responsive to the needs of their students. They kept me informed and were able to match me with suitable job prospects. I have completed my MCSA training and subsequently got employment within the IT Industry.
My name is David Mills I discovered James Thornton through a good friend Mr. Saleem Sajid. After looking at the advertisement and seeing what type of courses I could be doing I became more interested for it was something I wanted to do.
Discovering that the course would cost me £8000 was a shock to me but after much consideration I decided it would be a good investment. Shortly after passing my first MCP the recruitment officer assisted me in getting my first job involving computers, which has given me a great opportunity to get into the IT Industry, for which I am very grateful.
I came across the James Thornton Microsoft course through a free weekly jobs magazine; I applied to the course and was offered a free consultation. In the consultation a friendly member of staff provided me with thorough details to the course. The course sounded very impressive, as it put me on my desired career track in the IT Industry.
Since starting the course in September 2006 I have passed my MCSA XP Exam. My recruitment officer found me a job at Cap Gemini a global leading solutions organisation, although the wage isn’t very high at the moment, it is a good start for me in the IT Industry considering I have very little experience.
I have paid £8000 for this course, but it was a very good investment if you are keen in IT, and have the motivation to do well. The choice is yours how well you want to do!
My name is Zara Ali, I am 21 years old. I have recently passed my MCP – Windows XP Professional, within 2 weeks of passing my first MCP James Thornton found me a job with a Microsoft Partner who is a global leading solutions organisation, as an Incident Handler on £13,500 starting salary without any previous IT experience and only one examination.
If you want to achieve your dreams and goals then James Thornton is the place to be. They are the best Institute of IT Training; the staff and tutors are a great help. I am a dyslexic and I have not been able to receive any support or help before; I was always let down by people. I had no where to turn to but an opportunity came my way through James Thornton, so I took it up. I received all the help and extra/additional support I required and have come a very long way. Now I can proudly say that I am a Microsoft Certified Professional and that is thanks to James Thornton Group.
A friend of mine told me about a new training centre in the City Centre that specialised in Microsoft Certified Courses. Having previously worked in IT, taken a career break, I decided to upgrade my skills and enrol for a MCSA/MCSE course.
Having successfully completed the course and passed the relevant Microsoft exams I became a Microsoft Certified Professional and recently a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator in April 2007. I am grateful to Student Campus who was instrumental in securing an IT Support Position for me within the NHS.
James Thornton was quick and responsive to my needs. They kept me informed and were able to offer me employment within James Thornton group from day 1.
I would recommend this career track to anyone in the situation I was in.
