The tech skills, maybe. But does the course cover stuff like "How to deal with a project manager who has no clue what they're doing", or "How to manage expectations in a customer who is way overenthusiastic about their new idea for a feature", or even "How to deal with Aspy Dave who thinks he's a rockstar 10x coder but actually churns out buggy crap that the rest of the team have to fix".

The non-tech skills of how commercial software development actually works in an actual organisation are really important, and the only way of learning them is on the job.
