Hi everyone I recently had an interview with a careers advisor from Computeach, and he recommended that I should take the MCDBA (Database Administrator) and MCAD (Programming) courses with them in order to help achieve my goals. I told him that I wanted to work either as a DBA or a programmer. However the price I have been quoted for the 2 courses together is very expensive (*£5200). I would like to know if anyone here has had any experience with computeach and taken this course/or any other course with them. If so, what were they like? What should I expect when it comes to getting my first job in IT? The advisor pointed out to me they have a special careers advice unit. I guess at this stage im just trying to find out if I would benifit from this course and if it would help me get a job as a programmer/DBA. What sort of salary should I expect to start on and do employers hire people with these quals without experience? as a trainee maybe?

I hope you find a job, may I suggest going to India, because thats where all the jobs are and Computeach know it, an employer can have their choice of 10,000's of candidates for each job and pay an average of less than 5 USD for experienced well trained candidates, a company I was with just took on 3 VB.NET MCAD qualified programmers, all with more than 3 years experience! their salary £350 a month :shock:
