Dear All,

Does anyone else know what the quality of these courses is like? Are
they suitable for someone with little formal training in IT, who learns
fast? Are the qualifications worthwhile? I've read the official docs but
I'd appreciate some personal views too.

The context, for those who don't know me, is that I'm a medical doctor
who wants to develop his career towards IT, having been a hobbyist (off
& on) since 1980.

Best wishes,
