    Hi..

    Has anybody an insight to this course?


    What level are these courses i.e is it an intensive course bringing you up to speed with people that have computing as a primary degree?

    What are the follow on studies options for this course?

    Are employees seeking graduates that do conversion courses, or would a primary degree in computing be more employable?

    Thanks in advance :D

    would think your previous degree an work experience together with the course is what the employer is interested in. For example if you were a project manager / managed large budgets etc... These are all transferable skills that are of interest to an employer and make you more employable than a recent graduate with an honours degree.

    Many of the graduates of the computing courses are on Boards so they may be able to advise.

    Has anybody on here applied for this course? I applied in May, then they extended the application deadline twice and the commencement date once. I did an aptitude test last week and haven't from them since. It's due to start tomorrow. I'm just wondering how other peoples applications have fared out?
