| 212724 | 2004-02-04 04:46:00 | I want to do a computer course from home since my polytech arrangements flopped and wont be attending tech... but i dont know how to do this? do you know of any good worthwhile computer courses i can do from home? as i only know of the correspondence school here (www.correspondence.school.nz) (direct link to the computer course page) and stotts here (www.tc.co.nz) (scroll down to computer training and each link will open pdf) and i specifically just want to gain a good qualification that can get me work in the computer industry, but my main interests are webdesigning/webbuilding, and the office side of it all (excel, publisher, word, access, frontpage etc) so if anyone knows any courses from the above 2 links that would do what i want, or with any other school/college etc...i'd love to hear from you cheers |

| 212725 | 2004-02-04 05:09:00 | whereabouts in the country are you situated? Personally I'd go with the open polytechnic or Massey for extramural studies... For what you want to do, it might pay to start of with ICDL which is a level 3/4 course and then go on to DipICT5 or BIT year1 which will get you doing level5/6 papers. If you were nearby one of WelTec's campuses, I'd recommend that you specifically go for the Cybertechnology course because that covers IN600 (web site building) IN610 (web server administration), scripting, graphics and ecommerce. |

| 212727 | 2004-02-04 05:28:00 | anywhere worth its salt will offer ICDL. I'm unsure about whether it's available extramurally as it's interactive... you should in theory be able to do it over the internet if you have a decent internet connection though... | whetu (237) | ||
| 212728 | 2004-02-04 06:30:00 | Depends on what your existing IT and academic skills are ?? ICDL might be too low to start - it will not get you anything much in the way of recognition in industry. If you have any skills, aim a bit higher so as to not waste time. | JohnD (509) | ||
| 212729 | 2004-02-04 06:36:00 | .... so a suggestion for at home study would be CompTIA A+( www.comptia.org). Sure there are lots of courses around where you pay but if you are self motivated another idea is to buy a book (www.amazon.com) and get into it yourself. | JohnD (509) | ||
| 212730 | 2004-02-04 07:26:00 | I suggest reading the reveiws before purchasing Meyers books!! | mark.p (383) | ||
| 212731 | 2004-02-04 21:25:00 | For self improvement study for free on any subject try ocw.mit.edu |
