    I obtained a degree in computer science a few years ago and I have worked in Software Testing.

    I decided I wanted to move into Web Development and Web Design.

    Would you recommend doing the Web Development course at this college.

    Does the course have many students?

    Avoid this college like the plague, not in that exact course but going into Y4 of computing and have to be honest total waste of time, computing in NCI. Majority of lecturers who can't be arsed, or are just very poor standard. College makes big claims but doesn't come close to meeting them.
    It's purely there to take your money and has no care as to the standard of education it provides.
    I cannot emphasis enough what a money grabbing place NCI is and the poor education it offers in return.
    I would most definitely consider other options before opting for NCI. My 2 cents.

    Ever hear someone tell you 'you get out of it what you put in to it'? This is coming from a guy that had to actually consider whether to take a course-relevant placement job over a job that was useless but paid well.

    NCI have one of the highest rates of graduate employment in the country, and are a non-profit, state-funded organization, so their interest in your money is fairly minimal.

    I did the Cert & H Dip in Web Tech last year.

    Granted there were teething problems with the course but they addressed the issues in january.
    Ive now got my H Dip and going onto a postgrad.
