CTI

That might be a problem (for some companies). Some companies give instructions to disregard any CTI candidates.
But don't let it affect your looking for work.
What I would do though is pay an IT recruitment company a visit, check on LinkedIn and so forth for available jobs/internships.

He studied at CTI. Amounts to pretty much exactly this.

Bashing him because he went to CTI is a tad unfair. Some of the best devs I've worked with, studied there. I also worked with a former CTI lecturer who was very disciplined and structured - I would hire anyone who studied under his tutelage any day.

1 man doesn't make an institution. The reason CTI gets dragged through the dirt is because their accreditation is rubbish, their recruitment procedures borderline fraudulent, and their teaching methods akin to giving someone a textbook and a typewriter.

If these people you worked with happened to go to CTI and are really good at development then great for them. I wouldn't trust anything about them other than their coding ability though as going to CTI, especially within the last 5 years, shows a complete inability to do basic research such as typing "Is CTI a good institution" into Google.

Honestly I wouldn't want to hire someone who clearly has more money than sense, which seems to be the lowest common denominator for CTI "graduates". I had a 'friend' that graduated from CTI with a 3 year 'degree' and still can't tell me the difference between a variable and a parameter.

Start some of your own projects at home, take them with when going for an interview. You could also look at graduate positions or maintenance developer positions. Those are easy to get into. Best of luck and don't let the clowns in this thread get you down ^^

Im also a CTI graduate, I went there in 2003, back then a google search for "Is CTI a good institution" would not have had allot of results ;-)
But ja, one of the k@kest institutions, EVER.
Everything I know today is through experience and courses, CTI did not teach me 1 single thing, If anything it thought me that you find scammers everywhere, that and to trust no one…. 30k down the drain.
Maar ongeag daarvan, as jy aangelê is vir iets met n passie daarvoor, sal jy n sukses van jouself in jou gegewe veld maak.
