At the completion of the course, which costs $1200, you dont get any qualifications, all you get is a certificate to say that you completed a course.
Nice little earner for Ricky, but gives you nothing. Mind you if he ran up a certificate, that would mean nothing too. I'm sure one of the minor Universities will run up a meaningless Bachelor of Sporting Agency one day too, if they think it will pay.
Like most things what you need is
not a bit of paper, but to persuade someone to give you a go, then prove you can do it. You don't need a degree to be able to do things like "Interior Design" either, just a good eye, and good judgement of what is
becoming fashionable - you don't even need good taste - in some eras that would have been a disadvantage.
