I want to get into web design…I’m a fantastic artist and I’m great in the technical field as well. I can’t afford to go back to school right now, but is there anything else I could do to break out into the industry? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Recently a national recognized training company that I have been happy with sent me the following at part of their response to my inquiry:

2.) Web Application Development in Microsoft .NET and Web Design- (5 Months during the day or evening) This program teaches you how to write code to develop software and web -based applications using the most in-demand programming languages and tools. This includes writing customized business applications as well as customizing existing business applications. This includes everything from database design and control to script programming. At conclusion of the program you will earn 5 Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certifications. Our Placement Partner assists you with placement in the Kansas City area. Avg. starting salary with no experience is 51k per year, growing to 73k after just 4 years of experience. New Horizons guarantees that you will pass your exams and guarantees at least 3 interviews with Kansas City firms and/or government agencies. In addition to being certified in Web Development, you will also be trained to use the latest Web Design Tools like Dreamweaver, Flash, and Illustrator, In Design and many other Design Tools.

The salesman also said they were having no trouble placing entry-level students after the training. Given that I am a career-changer and the current economy is this a good idea? Assume I can take the courses, pass the exams and otherwise fully benefit from the training. Is this a good idea?

Thanks.
