Now that i have finished it i still dont feel fully prepared and confident to go out and work in the industry. I've enquired about doing some crash courses in flash, dreamweaver, photoshop and illustrator to try and refresh my mind a bit but other than that i dont what will make me feel prepared. i have been thinking about doing some programming courses aswell.

Has anybody got any suggestions or advice on courses or what i could do to get the confidence to get out and get a job in the industry????

Thanks,
being a designer myself. i can tell you very basic things. make a portfolio of the work you have done as a student. and take up some free jobs. so that will help in sharpen your skills, and this will give you immense confidence in getting into the big bad world of designing!
