Cracking the skills code at UWA

The university offers an unaccredited coding course

UWA says there’s demand for coders in Perth, which it wants to meet. The university is offering a coding-course in conjunction with “workforce accelerator” Trilogy, (skills-based training programmes that are driven by employer needs”).

It’s listed as part-time study over six months, but with what looks like a full-time load, ten-12 classroom hours a week, plus 20 hours of prep and assignments. Serious stuff, and a snip at $11 500, plus GST. In rough contrast a coursework IT masters at UWA costs $60 000. Of course, the coder course isn’t accredited but then again people who want that specific skill may not care. The shape of things to come.
