  17. Here in the UK, courses are certified by the BCS (British Computer Society).
  18. So if you apply to become a certified engineer from the BSC and if your
  19. degree came from an acredited school then you are exempt from certain
  20. examines. This forces poeple and universities to teach certain subject.
