Studying at CTI

[fringe]

Hi. Has anyone studied at CTI in Durban. Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.

I am considering studing the Higher Certificate in Information Systems (Software Development) (CTI): https://www.cti.ac.za/?course=certificate-in-information-systems-software-development-cti

Save your money and study at a proper institution...

Run far, run fast. Don't waste your time and money.

Any other college or university that offers a similar course part-time?

If you want part-time.. then do it directly through UNISA...

But I don't really like all the modules offered in the UNISA diploma as I'm looking for something more in programming only

 

[ToxicBunny]

So you don't want a degree then?

Then do some c# certificates from MS or something. Will work out significantly cheaper and end up being worth more than something from CTI.

The course I was looking at was a higher certificate

 

[ToxicBunny]

Then just do as Messugga said..... avoid any of these private colleges with "higher certificates" whatever the fek that means.

I studied at CTI - Cape Town in 2008.
Oh how I wish I could turn back time and not go there!

Don't do it.

N.Dip. is mostly programming only. B.Sc. will have electives.

This. When I did it it was basically split up into two programming subjects, databases and information systems which included Cisco/networking (all with clever names but basically that).

And for the love of your career don't go to CTI. Nobody should ever go to CTI.

also did CTI in 2000....It's a money making racket and a time waster. Same as everyone else said.
Get the idea out of your head asap.
Go do a degree. Thee end

EDIT: sometimes I drive past the CTI branch in Bellville/Durbanville and watch all the hopefulls walking with those CTI bags, smiles on their faces...not knowing how they're wasting daddy's money and their own time.
