CTI sounds really good, only problem is it's R70k for the first year alone, then it gradually increases might even be like R310k for the entire course.

Any other recommendations?

Otherwise I'd need a student load, but I currently have 0 debt so I'm not sure how that process would work.
 
Google for the CTI thread here on mybroadband. The only thing a CTI qualification will manage, is to get your CV thrown in a bin.

A real degree complies to very specific requirements. It needs to be NQF 7. They take three years. You get those from a university, not a private college. You can look at distance learning like UNISA, or you have Stellenbosch or UCT to choose from, in your neck of the woods.
 
UCT is the only place in CT that can give you a real Bsc...

It says NQF 7 on their website so I don't really get it, but I'm gonna take a look at the threads now.
Glad I asked though. Will do my research.
 
Stellenbosh, UCT, UWC for a Bsc CS. Saw the UWC labs/new science building and it's quite nice.

Problem is that 1% of idiots at all campuses.

I have interviewed a number of people with CTI qualifications in the last while. Let us just say that sadly it did not result in any hires. In fact, for none of the candidates, being called back for the second interview even came up as an option. (That does not mean that somebody with a CTI qualification will not be hired, just that the qualification by itself without significant further study and or experience, will make a hire impossible.)

As others suggest, please do UCT, Stellenbosh, UWC or Unisa.

Wow okay, that really puts things into perspective. Thanks for your answer.
I've considered Unisa, but I can never get through to them and it's really frustrating even trying to get anything done on their website.

Stellenbosch I can't do as I'd need to board there and I can't afford that.

UCT is 16 mins away from me so that seems to be the best bet.

Very curious, how would you compare CTI grads to grads from the above mentioned universities?
 
Looking over UCT's requirements to join them it says 'Math's 6 - 70%'
I'm not exactly sure what this means.
Does it mean 70% was rated a 6 on your certificate?
Does it mean you need 70% for matric 'normal' math?

Then in their first semester you're going to do a subject called 'Mathematics 1'.
So you're going to do even more maths? I'm pretty sure getting 70% in matric normal grade maths is already good.

Edit: never mind I figured it out.
