Java Programming

I recently got a placement in Scheidegger Training to study Java Programming. However, I've decided to drop out, due to the fact that... from the opinions of some former students, it doesn't seem like a very good way to spend 2K.

So I've been looking around for more Java Programming courses with varying levels of success, including The Open University, but I'm still unsure as to which path to choose (the biggest reason for this being my thought - whether right or wrong - that the quality of the course is lower if it's not with someone who actually specializes in IT and computers).

So I need your advice as to where I should go from here... the Schedegger Training course seemed to be perfect for me, TBH, but I've been put off (perhaps I judge too harsly based on only two reviews? But they're the only reviews I can find ). I'd like to see some proof of their claims (Like A - That they're the biggest computer training company in Europe B - That they've trained 4million people in 45 years and C - That they've signed a contract with the NHS), since I can't find it on Google.

Er... go.

Edited because I'm crap.

It was a bit of a toss up between GD and PD.

Moderators are free to move it if they want.

Not impressed, to say the least, every link you click on takes you to a page that gives you a Phone No to contact them.

You would think that they would at least give you some indications as to what their courses contain?

You could try this lot:

I cannot say I have ever heard of them, but at least they do provide information on their website, as well as costs, which has to be an improvement.

Considering that their page is pure flash, I'm not going to try to say anything positive about them.
