Has anyone done or is currently doing a Computer Engineering degree offered by OUSL? If so, can you give me an honest opinion about it? Are the lab facilities good enough? What about the lecturer panel and the academic staff? I heard the exams are a bit tough. Is it so tough that it’s hard to complete the degree without repeating at least once? I would also like to know how people who have already graduated from this degree are doing. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I need some honest advice. I'm currently working as an entry-level coordinator at one of the Big 4 logistics companies in Sri Lanka. This is my first job.

I do not have an IT background and I'm not working in an IT role right now. But I want to upskill quickly with an online IT diploma that:

· Is fully online or mostly online (so I can study after work)

· Gives a certificate that Sri Lankan employers actually respect

· Can help me get a promotion within my current logistics company — not necessarily to a pure IT role, but to a better position where IT skills add value (e.g., logistics systems, data analysis, supply chain software)

I really don't like my current entry-level coordinator role and I want to move up as soon as possible.

❌ I'm not looking for fancy but useless certificates.

✅ I need something that HR or my manager will take seriously when promotions come around.

What online IT diplomas would you recommend for someone in my situation?

Also, if you've done one yourself and it actually helped you get promoted — even outside the IT industry — please share.

Thanks in advance.
