it is a guaranteed job at the end of it if you pass. Its a solid course and the examiners are very tough. Overall its okay but could be much better. Placement can be ridiculous but if lucky you can throughly enjoy it .The skills lessons can be fun. With this course, it's what you make it. If you put the effort in it will work out. The big benefit is the fact it's a guaranteed job at the end. read more
