They say that when you start an IT course today by time you get to the end all you've learned is out of date!
It's always been like that! When I took my final tests for C&G some years ago, the lecturer asked if I as one of the senior (read older!) students, would help him re-write the exams, as the College IT equipment was fairly up-to-date, but the ancient equipment supposed to be used in the exams was no longer available at the College. So the exams were rewritten, and he had to send them to C&G in London to get approval before they could be used.
Purely co-incidentally, I managed to get a very decent pass score....
