Aight so I just went thru the rmit grad cert in IT. Being totally honest it's not worth anything let alone $15.1k
> Full-fee places: AU$14,880.
>
> Student services and amenities fee (SSAF): AU$313
The classes you take look very week especially if you did both a lot of self learning in python thru udemy and completed eng comp
Programming fundamentals:
- This just looks like an introductory programming class given you did eng comp I feel like it would be far from useful as you did a much harder course already (and seem to have basics of python down from udemy)
Database Concepts:
- Similar class to DBS, probs the most useful class in the whole degree however very easy to self learn just some basic SQL query writing. This course seems to teach around the same content.
Advanced Professional Development:
- This class looks like a fucking joke and completely useless. As can been seem by the topics covered. It looks like a fluff class, kinda like OB of the It dept
these are the topics covered:
>social implications of computing in a digital world;
>
>impact of social media;
>
>ethical theories and principles within IT context;
>
>IT professional ethics;
>
>intellectual property;
>
>professional communication;
>
>computer crime; and
>
>ethics of sustainability (including global social and environmental impacts of computer use and disposal).
IT Infrastructure and Security:
- more of a practical IT class. Like I wouldnt see a lot of applications in finance related roles in all honesty. Doesnt teach enough to make you an expert in cyber security/fraud protection
​
Like ill be honest, if you REALLY need a university qualification to say you have basic IT knowledge it's a fine degree however it's not a good one or a good use of 15k and 6 months. There's a lot of good learning you can do coursera and the web. All the best mate
