Totally off topic but as there seem to be a few IT bods here I hope you do not mind me asking the following.
My daughter has just left school (she is 19 soon) and does not fancy going to Uni.
She is interested in getting into IT and/or web design, etc. She is not so keen on the 'looking after computers' side of things, but prefers the more 'creative' side (e.g. software development, web design, etc).
She has found out about some courses that give her qualifications in IT, but they will cost c. £6,000 over two years.
What qualifications are really necessary?
What is the best way to get qualifications?
Accepting that we are in hard times, what is the best way of her finding a job and way into the industry?
From where we live she can get easily into London or Cambridge.
Any advice and suggestions would be welcome.
Stephen
