Computeach. My boyf enrolled in course now hearing bad press!

Computeach are apparently being slated on the internet. Primarily because you pay �4k to do a MSP course which apparently this is a rip off. How can I validate these claims. Boyf. very worried as big investment.

Thanks!

Can't say I've heard anything either way about them but their adverts always seem to good to be true. As a result I've never even followed it up (if something seems to good to be true, that's because it usually is...).

Found a couple of links you might want to read through:

I went to one of their intro sessions some years back when I was out of work. After 20 minutes of bovine excretia I walked out.

Sorry, this doesn't help much. If he has paid already, just try to make the most of it, and remember that any extra learning is not a total waste.

I don't know if they have changed, but 20 years ago they tried to sucker me into one of these "if you pay us way more than the value of the course, we might find you a job afterwards" deals.

I discovered that the course they were trying to get me on was a) worthless in the industry and b) only cost a couple of hundred if I did it via someone else.

Personally I'd avoid them.

If MSP is the prince2 sort of course (project management?) he can get the same course for less than half that elsewhere. Google it.
