Hi, my name's Warren, I'm 39 years young and I live in South East Kent.

Because of an injury, I have to search for a new career (can't drive large vehicles anymore as I'm awaiting a knee replacement). I'd like to try to get into web design but there are so many companies out there promising the world.

Which course should I do, and with which company and how much to spend? All questions I have been asking myself.

I have a basic understanding of most Windows systems.

Any help would be great.

Thanks, Warren.

 

I've looked at:
Skillstrain but they were way too pushy.
Computrain but can't find out anything about them (online interview tomorrow)

I have just looked at the brochure for National IT Leaning Centre who look quite good, but will they help with what I want and does anyone know what sort of costs I can expect?

 

I generally recommend self-study. Resources are widely available, especially for topics at the entry-level... so in my opinion, there's no sense in spending a bunch of money on a training course when there's so much information out there available, either on the Web or in books.

 

So if I decide on self study, where do I start?

Anyone got any good/bad experiences with Computrain?

 

If you decide to self study then get some CIW books and read up yourself, no need for a training provider.

If you feel a course is more your thing then look at your local college, things computeach and computrain are just a rip off.

 

Hi there and welcome

 

Welcome to CF

 

Time to get up of my arse and make a start.

I've looked around and there are loads of different books (some free to download), but which ones do I really need to get started in my quest to be a web designer?

Any help would be real help.
