Heyo,

I'm a student of Aptech, currently in my third semester. You're the only who can pick the answer for your self.

I'd advise you consider the following:

1. Aptech's ADSE program is 1year 9months across 4 semesters. ( I don't know how you got 3 years)

2. Aptech's program alone is expensive. My school fees alone is 2.5million+ ( I heard it's now 3million or so). After that, you're expected to do your Top-up degree outside Nigeria to get your BSC. Middlesex's London tuition for Top-up is £14000 ( with £2,500 automatic scholarship for Aptech students ). Add the cost of living and other stuff.

Ask yourself, "Can I foot these bills?"

3. Going to Aptech is not an automatic ticket to be a great Software Engineer. I have alot of lazy classmates from rich homes who come to school to catch cruise and smoke w**d after class.

4. Aptech's curriculum is very deep into the fundamentals. I got to learn several fundamental concepts here.

5. Aptech's learning schedule is very flexible. We only have class thrice a week. It'd be great for you if you work somewhere else and want to attend class at your convenience.

NB: I personally went to Aptech because I wanted the certificate and the prospect of a UK student visa at the end. I was already working remotely as a Frontend Engineer for a San Francisco based company.. I could foot the bills by myself, and the schedule was flexible enough for me.

I can't speak about a Nigerian university... I didn't attend one.

Please I need your advice on this issue.

Can I still go for the Advanced Diploma in Software Engineering (ADSE) at Aptech?

My background is in the Arts back in Secondary School. I have no knowledge of all these terminologies (html5, css3, .net etc) and what someone with a skill in it can do. All I have is that I'm a fast learner when I put my mind to something. If you say yes, how then is it possible to further in the UK with my Aptech Certificate and my WAEC that isn't related to the sciences?
