A quick look at the main job sites on the Net, or in any daily paper will confirm that the future belongs to programmers. As more and more companies become completely dependent on computers for their survival, they increasingly need systems tailored specifically for their needs. Which is another way of saying that they increasingly need the services of qualified computer programmers.
The ICS Introduction to Computer Programming course allows you to acquire foundation skills on which to build future skills, and so it is difficult to put an exact monetary value on the added earnings potential this knowledge could offer you. However, a typical starting salary range for Trainee Programmers outside the London area is between £15,000 - £20,000. In some companies this can rise as high as £27,000. Programmers with two years or more experience of the languages most in demand can command salaries of £30,000 and be in line for senior programming jobs where the package can be as much as £50,000.
The ICS IT courses are the most flexible and cost-effective way of gaining the qualifications you need to succeed in the Internet age. |
