    hi all ,
    hi everyone . just a quick question please . i've been looking in doing a couple of online IT courses . Looking for a career change. The courses on offer are : frontend web development , UX design , iOS development , full stack web development and android development . really was wondering , which courses , as far as possible , would guarantee employment in Ireland . I'm 40 , have a young child and courses are quite expensive so i'd like to get it right if i could . Any help be greatly appreciated .

    When it comes to development, it's really what you have a preference for. You'll have to examine which courses offer what and then choose what suits you best. If you are aiming to change career, have a look at job sites and see what the requirements are for the roles you are interested in.

    Do you have any other I.T. skills ?
    If you don't have an I.T. diploma/degree behind you, then a few private courses for X number of weeks will not "guarantee" anything.

    Online courses, at best, might help to upskill, but you if you don't have a solid base of development skills as a foundation to start with then a lot of recruitment agencies will screen you out.
