I had a guy come round my house today from a company called Scheidegger Training to tell me about the training courses they offered on web design.
He concluded that a qualification called CIW in Web design is what i need for potential employers to even look at me.
The fact that i have experience in designing websites for models including maintainence,
image editing a HNC in mutimedia production and many other creative skills he insisted I was ''Commercially worthless'' and undesirable.
After an hour and a half he finalised offering me a place on a course which would cost £2,500 at £70 a month.
He called his office to have me risk assesed I apparently failed but he said he thought I was worthy so he gave me the nod.
He insisted for us to go any further he needed a £50 enrolment fee and to fill out a form stating all my qualifications and work history!
Once this fee was paid I would be given a pack that included tutorial cd roms.
I would be alocated a tutor who would assist me online where a great part of my training would take place taking up to 18 months.
He was very pushy and indirectly insulting making assumptions about me despite not knowing me.
Alarm bells rang and i asked him for a card so i can research his company and have a think.
He was not impressed and became a right pratt .
I walked him to the front door thanked him and told him he came very close to being
fed to my dog and anyone who drove a ford focus and thought themselves above the rest of us needs to have a long think.
All imature *****ng aside just what does an employer paying 20 to 30 k expect from a webdesigner/flash programmr these days.
Thanks.
