<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I'd be tempted to agree
with George - it does sound like it may be the bandwagon passing (although I
haven't looked in any detail of the course specifics).<br>
<br>
It all depends what you need from the course. If it's academic
qualifications then yes it might be worth it, but if you want to just learn
about the technology ( i.e. *nix) then one of the professional courses would
give you more 'real' knowledge. Academic courses have to include science
and theory, which, whilst useful to know, will take time away from learning
usable everyday skills. <br>
<br>
As George said, the exams are very cheap if you're happy to teach
yourself. Otherwise there are plenty of intensive courses you can go on
(some cheap ones involve a trip to India!) that should bring your knowledge
up to scratch. <br>

I had a look too out of interest after seeing the same banner. Not that <br>
I'm in the market for a degree course but it does look a little<br>
"bandwagonish" to me - if someone has done a degree in say, Software<br>
Engineering then the licence of the software they're engineering <br>
shouldn't make much of a difference to how they go about producing it,<br>
baring in mind that University is meant to teach concepts and not<br>
vocational skills.<br>
<br>
If you already have a degree I would consider doing LPI, you can do the <br>
exams at a local testing center for a small cost (about £50 I think when<br>
I looked) and even if you don't do the exams working through one of<br>
their study guides'll teach you a lot about using Linux without being <br>
too specific about how one distribution is arranged. Then, read "The<br>
Cathedral and the Bazaar" for a dash of philosophy and you're sorted :)<br>
