They’re just not that useful anymore. Once in a while, I’m notified through the company grapevine to go look at some of the available courses. When I’m free (or bored), I’ll glance at the list of technical courses. Boring. Boring. Know that already. Boring. Hmm, interesting, but it’ll never get approved. Know that already. Ok, done, didn’t find any courses I want to attend. Delete email notification.
Dated by the time they’re born
Technology moves fast. By the time that technological knowledge is condensed into a formal course structure, it’s already old. For example, by the time I was slated to go for my ASP.NET 1.1 course, the .NET framework 3.5 was on the horizon.
