When it comes to a field like programming, there are just so many training options out there! It can be totally overwhelming for new students to sort through it all and find the right course. 

You have online coding boot camps, four-year programming degrees, individual courses, and everything in between. Which course is right for you? How should you judge and compare each program? 

In the end, it all depends on what you want to learn and what job you want to get.   

Do you already have some coding skills, and are just looking to brush up on some new programming languages or frameworks? Or are you starting from scratch and need a comprehensive training program?

This post is geared more toward the second group—newcomers who need a solid foundation in programming plus some work experience to launch their careers. 

If this is you, you’ll need a quality program that teaches the fundamentals through hands-on training. 

We'll guide you through how to choose a good programmer analyst course. Find out what to look for, which questions to ask admissions, and what steps to take next. Let’s get started!

Figuring out if programmer analyst is a good career starts by looking closely at your own interests and priorities. 

How much do you already know about this role? How much information do you have on the training requirements and job outlook for programmers? 

And of course, do you have the natural strengths needed to succeed in the role? 

It doesn’t really matter what anyone else thinks. A career is "good" if it feels challenging, rewarding, and worthwhile to you.  Does programmer analyst make the cut? 

Here are the most important points to consider when making your decision.

This is such an exciting time to start a career in interior design. There are so many new software tools, tons of inspiring designers out there pushing boundaries, and a wide variety of job options in this field.

But let's take a step back. Your first priority is to find an interior design course that will actually get you hired.

There are many options out there, from DECs and AECs to bachelor's degrees in interior design.

This post is for people who want to bypass the theory and get straight to designing. So we'll be focusing on college-level interior design training, which is more practical and hands-on.

Considering a career in computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting? Wondering about your job options after graduation? You've come to the right place.

There are several different career paths to choose from. CAD is a broad field, with applications in architecture, mechanical engineering, and industrial design.

Some CAD training programs specialize in a certain area, such as architectural drafting. Other colleges offer combination programs that teach drafting software and skills in several domains.

The type of training you choose will determine your career options.

Sustainable architecture is about building in a way that reduces harmful impact on the environment. Every aspect of the design and construction process reflects this goal.

From using renewable energy sources and materials to respecting the local ecosystem: sustainable architecture is always seeking to minimize its ecological footprint.

When Roberto Romano enrolled in CAD training at Herzing College, he had no experience in the field whatsoever. He learned the software, project management, and drafting skills from scratch.

After graduation, he got hired as an architectural draftsperson and worked in the field for several years. Then, he noticed an opening back at Herzing for a CAD instructor.

Roberto joined the faculty and has been teaching the program ever since.

This week, we interviewed Roberto about how the Computer-aided Design and Drafting program works.

We asked which skills students learn in class, what projects they do, career options, and what it takes to be successful in today's CAD industry.

Considering becoming a designer/drafter? Take a tour of the program with Roberto Romano: former graduate, expert instructor, and dedicated student mentor.

We’ve been offering an interior design program at Herzing for several years now. When we put together the curriculum, we looked very closely at hiring trends and the specific skills employers are looking for in new designers. 

What kinds of companies are hiring interior designers? What creative and technical skills are most in demand right now? Who is hiring our graduates?

Sustainable architecture is a very fast-growing field in Quebec, throughout Canada, and across the globe.

This industry is all about designing structures with minimal environmental impact. Sustainable building designers use cutting-edge technologies and products to conserve energy, lower costs, and protect natural resources.

The college admissions interview. It's a major source of stress for students all over the world. Most people are afraid of being judged and rejected...or pressured to make a decision about enrollment before they're truly ready.

Going back to school is a big life move. It often comes with feelings of anxiety around academic performance, tuition costs, and balancing time between work, family, and classes.
