Thorn: Don't. My mom went, and 13 grand later, she had no employable skills. Its a waste of money, unless things have seriously changed in the past few years. They teach you everything and anything, so there is no time to properly focus on one thing, not to mention the short course lenght. Back during the IT boom, it might have meant something, but today even seasoned IT veterans have a hard time getting a job.
I'm glad someone brought this up actually. I need some tips on how to con the government into giving me a larger loan than it should. what they do, is they assess your course fees and take into consideration whether you are living at home or not. So if you are living away from home, they give you a bigger loan to cover the living costs. Usually, its around 1/3 to 1/2 of your total fees (extras like books included). But what I would like to try is to say I am living away from home, just get someone I know to say I'm staying at their place and paying them rent, so that I can get as close to the full fees loaned to me as possible. Does anyone have some experience with this?
