Do the course for the stuff you will learn, not the paper and you will come out a winner.

Being able to prove to employers you can do the job on paper and in an interview and then on the job is what counts. This also includes soft skills.

The OU is fairly well recognised in the UK, probably more so than many other place's certificates, diplomas or certifications.

The cost of most OU courses is quite reasonable, so you can try one and see what you think.

Your other post mentions you have a BSc (Hons) degree ? If so I doubt OU courses at undergrad level will make you any more attractive to an employer.

Its all about getting out there and putting yourself about. There is record unemployment at the moment in the UK, its the worst for 11 years, the worst for young people for 16 years, many young UK graduates cannot find work, ironically your chances of getting a job may be better in India.

If you do choose further study, I would look at postgrad courses in the country where you want to work.
