Hello Tiger007,
Can you throw some light on the Business Information Technology course (Red River), I have done Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. My friends were suggesting to do a IT course because of its increasing demand in India and abroad .

Hi,
It is ONE OF THE BEST diploma level course offered across any Canadian college (in this field). This course is in high demand, with excellent entry level job opportunities...and not to mention high growth and demand of IT/Business IT workers in Winnipeg and also in cities of Saskatchewan like Regina. Previous batches have seen very high placement rates in skilled professions related to this field. Not to mention, this course also offers extensive Co-op, which provides valuable Canadian work ex. Needless to say... this course is competitive, and seats fill up fast. In-fact, if I had interest/inclination towards IT... this course would be my 1st choice (at UG/diploma level) keeping in mind the reputation and how this diploma is really practical and job oriented/ industry ready.
Other well known, similar diplomas are:
Business Information Technology Management at BCIT, Vancouver :
