B.Tech IT

[Syzygy78]

I personally followed the BSc route. I am now doing the M$ certs (MCSA + MCSD). In terms of employability, I think a degree is a must. The certs are like icing on a cake as it can help land you the type of job you want.

Also, there is a fair amount of comp sci in some of the certs. Like for example, the 70-461 SQL content includes some basic set theory, data structures (B-Trees), and loop constructs.

The first time my mind was truly blown away with comp sci was when I used De Morgan's Law to alter a query

When I did my B.Tech it was still equivalent to an Honours degree, that was in 2005.

The Btech has been replaced by Advanced Diploma in Information Resource Management. The information will most likely be up on Unisa's site soon. This is a completely new route (rather than the old Btech->Mtech->Dtech) and the good news is you can easily change paths on this route and go Msc Phd instead. This whole new route was designed to bring the nqf levels up to scratch as Mtech and Dtech was a level lower than MSC and Phd.

That's now only during the transition period to the new advance diplomas.
