If these are from Urbana-Champaign, and at the same level as the "Web
Programming Certificate" I paid for a few years ago, then stay away
from it like the plague.
I paid several thousand dollars for what amounted to what I could
learn in a day on my own. Total ripoff. Absolute junk. I am the
proud owner of about 24 CEUs from the same.
This despite U of IL having a very nice CS dept (better than Purdue's
in "core" CS).
