    Hi, i am considering doing a courses in technology management. I currently have a NCEA Diploma in electronic engineering.
    I have looked around and i see that Tallagh IT have a part time course, Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Technology Management, i takes a year of 3 evenings a week, 4 hours each evening or the Postgraduate Diploma in Technology Management with Open univeristy.
    The 3 evenings a week seems very tough, where as the Open University might suit me better as i work shift work.
    Has anyone completed either of these courses, if so how were they?
    Also will the OU courses be a s good as the tallagh course i.e. is it recognised worldwide?
    Thanks

    I didn't take that course, I did however teach a module on it. :)

    It is a decent course, with a wide enough syllabus, a good blend of technology and management. Three nights a week is tough, though.

    As for OU vs. Tallaght qualifications, both are equally well recognised worldwide. However, as is always the case with OU, have a look at the prices for Irish students - they tend to be quite expensive.

    I think only undergraduate OU courses count for tax relief.

    Doesn't the IT Tallaght course also qualify? (as do all undergrad courses from recognised institutions in Ireland, don't they?)

    To clarify, I meant that the OU post-grad wouldn't qualify for tax relief. I believe most undergrad courses in any recognised institution would.
