Good post Ghengis. Only one caveat I'd say is the "financial stability" those providing the training. In the old days WAC were pretty stable providing a good service. Then they got involved with CABAIR, say no more! However more recently the aforesaid WAC went into administration on the 28th of June. Letters were apparently sent to clients explaining this was a "tactical" move because they owed £350k to creditors. Well whatever, and whoever, they were individuals and companies (many small) who went out of pocket and suffered a loss no matter how "tactical it was.
My only question is "does the leopard change it's spot's". Having learnt a trick or two from CABAIR, maybe the "tactical" targets may become the students in the future. In today's climate with schools going to the wall by the dozen, I'd be very cautious. As Ghengis says the degree is not much use in this industry, so I'd opt for a modular course and put little or no money up front or use a credit card. Beware especially of the "up front" money discounts as this is just a con! Why would anyone have any advantage with the so called up-front payments - just ask yourself, who benefits? Caveat Emptor!
