    Hello,

    I'm thinking of applying for the Hdip in Science in Data Analytics starting in April. Does anyone have any opinions on these ICT conversion courses? I have contacted DBS and they sent me some info but it's not very detailed. I have a Maths/Stat degreee, no computer science experience, but keen to learn. I just to make sure it's a decent qualification that might get me back to work; I don't want to waste my time if it's substandard.

    All such courses need to be validated by the QQI, so should be of a similar standard.

    As to whether or not it gets you a job, well no course can make that promise. However, with your background, you are exactly the type of person this course is aimed at.

    Also, I would double-check the course is actually starting in April.

    According to their website it's starting 10th April. It would be great to hear from anyone that did this course or one of the other ICT conversion courses there, just to get some insider opinion.

    I would still check with them. The call for Springboard+ courses closed last Friday. So unless the 10th of April course is from a previous Springboard submission (and it is quite possible it is), it may be a typo.
