IT Training

Hello fellow geeks!

I am thinking of taking a course in computer programming. I work full time so I am looking into long distance training, the thing is there are quite a few of these long distance - home learning schools to choose from, I wanted to know if any of you had any experience with this kind of learning and how successful were they.
In the UK where I live, there are the following companies that provide home learning courses.

Advent - Most expensive
Home Learning College
Computeach - Cheapest

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

I can't really help much more than that as it's something I'm still looking into myself.; ▶ Reply to This

Would you be able to give me some details of the Open University thing? And maybe contact details of such an open university?

I'll be very grateful!
