Finally yours truly and humbly went to Aptech, 332 Capital Building, Ikorodu Road, Maryland Lagos.

I met with the career counsellor or counseller or whatever. Well she explained things quite well to me. I was introduced to super ACCP comprising of DISM, HDSE & ADSE. The whole course fee, textbook fee, project and examination, certificate everything cost N870,000 for two to three years. DISM alone cost N250,000.

Please i need some advice from Nairalanders, should i go for it? should i take only the DISM course?

inshort where do i go from here.

i need advice please. thanks in advance to Y'all.

I say you RUN for it,while you still can they sweet-talk you into acquiring their
they useless certification.

You are better off with a Microsoft certification or better still a Degree that those worthless certificates

Guy, please dont pay that money oh 870 000, kai! You could use it in other ways. Like pple have said, a DEGREE is worth more than those things. That amount of cash could pay for some
MSC degrees in some Nigerian unis (Wonder how much LBS costs) and u could save towards sponsoring yourself for a foreign degree.
About your skills, well if you read books and practice on your own, and work on projects, then you will get the knowledge ure lookin for.
My humble opinion.

what do all does acronyms mean? HDSE i could only find something relating to Help Desk Site Engineer.

First time I am hearing those acronyms.

Dont waste your money, on that stuff. You know what you are capable of doing, people can only suggest, they dont know you as much as you know yourself so up to you. If you are looking for something marketable. Dont go for all these acronyms, go with something generic that everyone knows.

HDSE - Higher Diploma in Software Engineering
ADSE- Advance " in " "
DISM- Diploma in System Management

i was thinking i would have more job prospects in and outside of Nigeria with the Certificates.

Also i am not expectings some real practical stuff in any of the Nigerian Universities of Polytecnics. but what you guys are saying is making me think twice.

please i need some more advice and conviction before i take any step further.
