What iCarnegie Students are Saying

Below are some of the comments we have received from iCarnegie students and graduates worldwide (reprinted with permission of the student quoted).

"I would describe the iCarnegie education experience as one of the best things I have ever done... The courses provide skills, experience, and knowledge that is very relevant."
      -- Michael King, graduate from the Adelaide Institute of TAFE, South Australia, and iCarnegie SSD Certificate holder.

"The curriculum was extremely effective because it augments academic topics with real-world programming experiences. Because I had been working in the IT field for several years, I knew that what I was learning through the iCarnegie courses would apply to today's working environments."
      -- Stephen Lesko, former student and now adjunct iCarnegie instructor at Ursinus College's Center for Continuous Learning, Pennsylvania USA; iCarnegie CP Certificate holder.

"After becoming employed, I was pleased to find that I began using a wide range of my new skills on a daily basis. My co-workers have expressed surprise at the comprehensive understanding of software development projects that the iCarnegie courses have provided."       -- Georgia Lyon, graduate from the Adelaide Institute of TAFE, South Australia, and iCarnegie SSD Certificate holder.

"The experience with iCarnegie was one of great value. It taught me to use my analytical and new technical skills to successfully complete the assignments in each course module. It gives the student the feel of a real project... you don't face any difficulty when you are in live projects."
      -- Maya Varadan, former student and iCarnegie instructor from Sterling Infotech in India, now employed in the USA.

“The [iCarnegie] certificate is a springboard for future growth in the IT industry.”
      -- Justin Orbich, former student of the Community College of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania USA.

"Having been able to obtain the iCarnegie certificate is a good feeling and sense of personal achievement. During a summer work study at a local software company, I was able to understand a lot that was discussed in the work environment, and I was able to implement the skills learned from the courses."
      -- Nicole Luneburg, graduate from the Adelaide Institute of TAFE, South Australia, and iCarnegie SSD Certificate holder.

“The iCarnegie certification emphasizes teaching students both theoretical and practical knowledge of computer science in an effort to equip students with both the ability to step immediately into professional computer programming employment and the ability to learn new and emerging technologies.”       -- Darren Siegel, former student of Community College of Allegheny County, iCarnegie CP certificate holder, and now an iCarnegie course mentor.

“In the [iCarnegie] program, we explored different topics, such as how IT can be aligned with best practices to achieve business goals and objectives. In addition, we gained practical experience in software engineering, programming languages for database-driven web systems, and learned to measure and improve software usability. The result is that we have better knowledge and tools that are an advantage against our competitors in the development of sustainable projects.”
      -- Erika Ibarra, a corporate training student employed by Softtek in Mexico that completed iCarnegie courses at TEC de Monterrey.

"With the iCarnegie certifications in Computer Programming and Software Systems Development, I feel confident that I have enough knowledge and skills to work in the industry. The course content was very good."
      -- Obie Vickers, graduate from the Adelaide Institute of TAFE, South Australia, and iCarnegie SSD Certificate holder.
