I've been to Zenos myself, started in September last year till February in this.

I do say it is a good course to go on but not if you're looking to go into website design.
During the entire 5 months of the course we designed a single website (we were given about three hours), and that was using knowledge we already knew, you weren't taught much about how to make websites.

It's more for people who want to fix and troubleshoot the hardware of the PC and understand some of the internal workings.

if you want to look into hardware, you could always try a-level computing. If you can get into a non-sixth-form college it should dtll be free (i think it is until your 19-ish)

computing, not IT it goes over programming and hardware rather than spreadsheets and... whatever else you have to endure in IT
