Currently on Web Innovate course and it's the worst educational experience ever. This course is a scam. Everyone on the course has either dropped out or are so disillusioned with the incompetent people who run the course. The mess everything up and I have learnt so little. Essentially it's set up to siphon money of the government, which the government are fine about because 1) it's not their money and 2) they can pit-pat out stats on how many new IT graduates they have to both the public and potential corporations intending on setting up here. Everyone on the course is just really depressed and disillusioned. No one has anything good to say about it that I've spoken to...and I've spoken to a lot. I could write forever on just how many things they mess up and there's no support or even interest in any problems anyone on the course might be having.

I spoke to two people who did the course last year and they couldn't believe they'd moved it online as they said it was a disaster off line not to mention online. One of them said he feels someone should just blow the whistle on them but just didn't have the time with family and looking for work etc.

Just stay away from DSA. Disaster.
