Frankly I don't give a damn about what your piece of paper may or may not say.
I worked in IT as a Programme Manager on some good sized projects such as making the group systems Euro compliant, installing and testing new networks in all the prisons in the UK and Satellite Latency projects for the Home office. I represented all UK Insurance brokers in discussions over IT standards for European and USA networks etc
I have never had any training in IT, I never went to University and I never sat any A levels. I joined the RN at 16 did my time as an Airframes and Engines Articifer and didn't start in IT at the age of 35.
However I was the one who got the projects that had gone wrong, or were at serious risk. I promise you that the PM's I took over from had lots of pieces of paper from some of the best Universities in the UK including Oxford, Cambridge and they were IT pieces of paper.
What I looked for was how people applied what they knew, how they replied to questions and issues, how practical problems were addressed. People who would not reply to questions didn't last long.
