In the early 90s of the last century, over 24% of undergraduate students in higher education institutions in Israel chose to study one of the subjects of mathematics, computer science, natural science or engineering. For the sake of comparison, today almost 30% of students in universities and colleges across the country only study computer science. This means a significant jump not only in the number of people registering for a bachelor's degree in computer science, but also in the supply of workers entering the labor market.

What's new in the 2016 computer course?

Bachelor's degree students or those who are on a practical training track should take into account a long list of parameters when choosing a computer course. First, they must remember that a computer course in 2016 is completely different from the course taught in the early 90s. Today we learn about computers as a tool for distributing, creating and presenting content and combining new communication with software and applications.

Beyond that, the curriculum of a current course requires reference to technological improvements at the hardware level. Only a combination of the hardware and the software will allow the graduates of the courses to integrate into the labor market and offer candidacy for the leading jobs. This can be seen in the variety of study programs and the differences between the various training courses.
Second, the fluctuations that characterize the high-tech industry are also reflected in the student data in recent years. In 8.3, for example, 5.7% of those studying for a bachelor's degree studied math and computer subjects, but in the following years their share reached a total of only 2000%. Only at the beginning of the XNUMXs and with the introduction of new media into our lives, the demand began to rise and grow at the expense of the humanities and social sciences.

In light of the above data, it is possible to understand why students today prefer a professional certificate in a computer course than an academic degree in a theoretical faculty. They should choose a computer course at the end of which they can receive such a certificate, and use it in order to stand out compared to other young people their age.

This is how you will recognize a high level computer course

Another way to choose a computer course is to get into the thick of it and check its contents. Computer course from home John Bryce For example, it combines training and retraining, but at the same time it also meets the requirements of the technological market in Israel and around the world. On the one hand, the course refers to the technological improvements and the nature of the use of computing solutions, while on the other hand it corresponds with the prominent trends in the industry. The instructors of the course adapt the students' knowledge and skills to productivity in the field, thus shortening the hiring process.
In terms of variety, an educational institution that offers a practical certificate after a computer course should touch on various topics. You can learn about managing communication networks, developing mobile applications or the basics of designing websites in the world of advertising and mobile. The courses help students to express their abilities and personal interest. A high-level course will include not only face-to-face classes, but also practical experience.

The advantages of a computer course are, among other things, the creation of a solid foundation for further learning of advanced courses. The courses are suitable for those who are taking their first steps in the field of computers, or alternatively apply to those with a bachelor's degree and existing training. You can use the courses to gain a foothold in the high-tech industry and use the acquired knowledge to open an independent business. In the end, a high-level course is only a platform to which the student is supposed to enter his unique content. This is where the added value of the course and the challenge it creates are measured.

  1. First of all, as Neta pointed out, there is no way that a graduate of a six-month course at most will be preferred over a graduate of a bachelor's degree or an engineer in hiring for any job, or even seriously considered.

    If anyone is interested in the course, the right place to go is youtube. A nice example:

    More suggestions are welcome.

  2. Wow, how biased it is. Most courses will lead to zero job offers. And most of the courses that lead to job offers are *completely different*.

    It is simply not true that people prefer a course to a degree because they are not competing for the same jobs at all. If at all you received a job offer following the course, it will almost never be for a development position but for much simpler jobs and the salary accordingly...

    I know zero people who work in development after a course...
