I hope that the course content is a bit more substantial than the one quoted in the article!
We need to remember, though, that there is a difference between education, certification and qualification. Sadly it seems that nowadays many can't distinguish between them. My personal view is that there is too much societal emphasis on certification at the expense of real education.
