Computeach

My husband, a chef by trade, has been struggling with health problems for several years and hasn't been able to work more than a few hours a week in the catering industry. He's always been interested in computers so having seen the adverts, we thought there would be nothing to lose in giving Computeach a call as we felt he may be better suited to a less physical job. The advisor came to our house and began by attempting to assure us that he wasn't a salesman. He told us about Computeach's policy of only accepting the best candidates and quite early on informed us that my husband could be ... more

I feel a may have a difference of opinion when it comes to my experience with computeach. I too had a computeach rep come round to discuss possible career paths outlining certain aspects of the IT industry. I had no formal training with IT and found I needed to start from the beginning.

Where do I start? Firstly I would like to say that you can do any of the courses they offer, off your own back for about quarter of the price.

My experiences with Computeach seem to be somewhat different to some others I have read on this site... Originally, I was seen by one of their reps just over a year ago and he was very helpful. I knew a little about computers, but I wouldn't call myself a techie! I can't remember everything now, but he spent plenty of time with me going through which sectors of the market would suit me and we both arrived at programming. I chose the microsoft certfication program called MCSD (Solutions Developer) in VB (Visual Basic) as it seemed a more gradual entry route than jumping into 'C' systems ... more

I signed up with computeach for the MCDBA course back in january 2007. the sales man did not give the hard sell, he just explained the facts of the courses on offer, although the estimated salary's did seem to be high, I did some research and found the quoted salaries were correct but you do need the qualifications and experience. however computeach do have their own carears department which do look for and help you find work in the I.T. industry. the price was a whopping £5000. which I opted to pay using the buy now pay in 12 monts option. up to now I have passed an online mock exam for ic3 ... more
