Hi,
I have just joined this forum and need urgent help.

I had a computeach rep come round to discuss some courses. He has suggested the

'Designing & Implimenting Microsoft Windows applications - visual basic . NET'

Which will get me the following qualifications. (MCP) and core or elective credits towards (MCAD), (MCSD) and elective credit towards (MCDBA).

I haven't a clue what this all means, I just wanted to train as a programmer.

I only have basic experience on PC's, i.e. normal stuff used for home pleasure etc.

The course is £4200............. Is this expensive for this course???????

I would love to get direct replies via email so I can chat some more. (Emaill = [email protected])

Also once I have passed this course what sort of money does it pay?

Thanks,
Tony[email protected]

Hi Tony, and welcome. I doubt if anyone will be able to answer all your questions in one quick post, but most of them have already been answered, or opinions offered, in our Training & Development Forum (clickable link). Have a good look around in there first

 

Greetings, Tony. Welcome to CertForums. I am no expert at programming by any means so I can't help you with that. I did notice that you posted your actual e-mail address. Occasionally, spammers either manually or through automated processes, search sites such as this one for usable e-mail addresses. You don't really need to post yours openly.

If you enabled it in your profile, any member of CF can either send you a Private Message (PM) or an e-mail using the forum software. If you absolutely must post an e-mail addy openly, try a format like

fred AT hotmail DOT com.

That usually is enough to keep the roving spam spiders off your back. Ok...color me paranoid.

Hope you enjoy it here.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

Hi Tony

Welcome to this tiny bit if the datasphere.

I am a student of the Open University and am doing a number of programming courses to make up my degree. Have you considered doing a degree in Computing with them? It will take longer and cost less but you will have a full BSc (Hons) at the end of it. www.open.ac.uk

Just a thought!

 

Hi mate.
I hope you've misunderstood him, and that he's not really offering you ONE MCP for £4,200. You should be getting the whole MCSD for that price.
MCAD/MCSD is a tough one, do not take it lightly.
