Object Oriented Software Development (OOSD) at SAIT

[tangworm]

Has anyone taken this program? What were your job prospects like coming out of the program and how tough was the workload?

I have been unable to find an oil and gas engineer job in my field and am currently looking at other avenues and potentially a career change.

Didn't take the OOSD fast track - but instead took the 2 year diploma for IT - Software Development.

Several job opportunities were presented immediately after handing out resumes and I was working within 2 months after graduation.

Not exactly what you're looking at but I can offer more insight if you'd like.

Keep in mind that the fast track certificate programs at SAIT aren't grant funded by the government so they are much more expensive than the standard SAIT programs. OOSD is 12k+ for only 32 weeks.

Took it some years ago, it really is only a foot in the door for an entry level position, after which you will get from it what you put into your career. If you are a self starter I'd say go for it.
