EXPENSIVE AND 3 YEARS ?????????
lool..these prices are crazy!!!.. $700 a semester for 3 years for a diploma???.. not to mention the prices for the certs..daamn
a warm welcome to capitalism i guess..
One can do a full BSc degree in SW Engineering (maybe at higher cost) but part time for 3 years. At least the Diploma entry requirements are more specific.
The subjective entry requirement “desire for hard work” and courses that are run “….provided minimum class numbers are met” coupled with the exorbitant costs thereof suggests the Huawei “courses” are nothing more than certificates of attendance. All these “courses” lead to mostly Network Administration type of qualification for $10k??. What a rip-off. One is better off with A+,, CCNA, ITIL or Cobit or City & Guilds in Microcomputer Technology as individual globally recognized courses. “Hard work” is irrelevant in IT courses, you need to understand the theory in full so that when you practise you don’t make a fool of yourself. You will need a good knowledge of O level Science and Maths.My take.
They should move towards online learning. They could collaborate with EdX or Coursera or some other reputable platform. It should have been an option so as to increase their market.
This is too exorbitant..how can you have a diploma running for 3 years at such a cost.
The courses are good but very expensive
