I'm 28, work full time in an office, and want to learn something new. I have no further education after GCSE's, I didn't do A-levels and I didn't go to Uni.
What I do have is 11 years experience working for a high profile international company.
Here's my opinion.
I haven't studied since I was 16.
I have a family, and little time to myself.
I want to learn something new but unsure if I am capable of self study.
£99 is a little price to pay to figure out if I can do this, learn something new on the way, and to see if I really enjoy it.
I've been studying a week or two, and have learnt some basics of HTML 4.0.
There IS direction with the e-careers courses. Simply click in the info tab, and it states the description, the audience, features, and prerequisite. There is no prerequiste to HTML 4.0 and I know HTML is going to be a good stating point, so the above poster didn't do much home work. Also, the help instrcutions do advise the correct password to access the material, after logging in.
I've not experienced any issues. Yes its cheap, and the assistance and website is basic. But its £99! What do you expect?!
