Learn by doing with our technical training. You'll put theory into practice with hands-on projects and expert demonstrations in six 2-day SMART Classroom courses. Unlike traditional education, our apprenticeship training doesn't simply teach for a test. Our exam-free programme and project-led approach gives you the skills employers are looking for.
You'll take the following courses:
This course introduces the software development lifecycle, giving you an in-depth understanding of how the software industry works. You'll explore project roles, collaboration tools, and industry techniques for planning software projects.
Building on your planning and analysis skills, this course is all about software design. Introducing the key concepts of object-oriented programming, you'll learn to design a software solution and create technical specifications.
This course offers a practical exploration of object-oriented programming, where you'll follow a design brief and learn to develop functional code following industry best practices.
This course introduces the fundamentals of secure web design and development. Exploring the implementation of Human Computer Interaction and interactive responsiveness to multiple devices. Plan, design and build your own website ready for exploring connections between data sources and front-end interfaces.
Transform theory into action and build your database connection code according to design specifications. After establishing requirements to produce an effective connection between web and data assets, you will apply industry best practice to implement software solutions, creating secure, functional code to high professional standards.
Turning to the final stages in the software development lifecycle, you'll take a deep dive into problem solving and software testing approaches. In this dynamic session, you'll create and implement software test plans to identify and repair bugs in a piece of code.
A Junior Software Developer is an excellent early-career role for aspiring software developers.
In this role, you’ll be working as part of a professional software team, supporting them with simple software components that will form an important part of final products. You’ll learn to interpret technical and design requirements, build programming elements, and test software to find and repair any bugs in the code.
In this apprenticeship, you can quickly progress from little or no coding knowledge to playing a vital role in a professional software team.
After you achieve your qualification, you can take your knowledge to the next level with a Level 4 qualification or develop your career with the potential to move into multiple disciplines, including software engineering, project management, user experience, and software testing roles!
