From my experience it's not. Most courses scratch the surface of a topic, but not nearly enough to even be a novice. IT students need to put in work outside the classroom to become marketable. I've been on interview panels where most have no experience outside of class labs. (but that doesn't stop them from putting it on their resumes... which doesn't look good when questioned on the topics). To show you are in it because of legit interest and not just the potential pay, certs and real hands-on goes a long way during the vetting process.

IT prep courses are just that, prep. I took a few as part of my AA, but those certificates held no weight. If I were starting out, I would skip that and directly to studying for the cert you want.

Had an interview today which I felt really good about. They want to see my portfolio but I'm having difficulty because my work is on old computer and I used heroku to host and they deleted my apps. I'm hoping this doesn't hurt me to bad as a portfolio wasn't required. One of the questions they asked was what forums I use to discuss tech and stuff and I almost said the coli but I know that would have been a bad look haha. I got a third interview on Monday.

Heads up for those who dont know
dont fukk with Insight Global
Majority of their postings are non existent jobs, that were probably filled months if not well over a year ago. They just fish for resumes using attractive job Descriptions to bait people. IF they actually call you, it will be to confirm your interest in a job followed by a "ill forward this over to my manager" or "I'll be in touch" before ghosting you.
The last thing they will do is ask for managerial references as a requirement to move along in the "hiring" process. Me sensing some fukkery, I provided them with fake names, numbers and emails of supposed former managers, and I pretended to be one of them. On the call they asked a few questions about "the candidate but then spent most of their time trying to establish a partnership so that they could recruit from the company listed. He calls back after 20 minutes but doesnt leave a voicemail. So clearly it wasnt actually for me but my fictional manager. He never followed up to move along the hiring process following the reference check. there was never a job to fill, just wanted free leads to upsell to.
90% of the time I'd applied through Insight Global in the past, they've been a resume black hole. But I was shocked to make it further than a "you seem like a great fit" phone screen or Linkedin message.
3rd party reruiters are shyt regadless of comapny but Insight is particularly scummy. I had time to play along and bullshyt them as hard as they bullshytted me I found out what they actuallly do with references.

The NOC role I was offered middle of November fell through the cracks
Passed the background and drug screen, then last minute after accepting the offer they asked for paystub; not for the most recent job, but the jobs I was on 3+ years ago. I cant access the ADP portal with my paystubs on it (disabled obviously) so that's an L, I moved on and it took them a couple of weeks to rescind the offer. Oh well, I got some other shyt lined up, Didnt really wanna get up at 4am any way
