Your first course after college: a simple way to decide
Short, practical and project-based beats long and expensive when you are starting out.

Pick a direction first
Try two or three free beginner lessons in different fields before paying for anything. One week of trying beats one month of guessing.
Then choose with three questions
- Will I finish with projects I can show?
- Can I afford it without a large loan?
- Does it fit the hours I have alongside my job search?
Avoid this
Long, expensive programmes aimed at experienced professionals. They assume work experience you do not have yet, and you will pay for networking that will not help you now.
