JUNIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

Our technical training courses simulate an authentic development environment where apprentices learn by doing as part of a small cohort. In each two-day course, participants will plan, design and develop functional software components, led by an expert Software Coach. 

1. Planning & Analysis: The Software Development Lifecycle

This course introduces the Software Development Lifecycle, with a practical focus on the planning and analysis phases. Learners will explore project roles, collaboration tools, and industry techniques for gathering stakeholder requirements and planning development projects.

2. Software Design: Object Oriented Programming

This hands-on course focuses on software design and introduces the principles of Object-Oriented Programming. Learners will plan and design a software solution, creating technical specifications to address the functional and non-functional requirements of a given design scenario.

3. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

This course offers a practical exploration of the object-oriented programming paradigm. Following a technical specification and design documents, learners will build functional code to industry best practices. 

4. Design and Develop Web Technologies

This course introduces the fundamentals of secure web design and development. Exploring the implementation of Human Computer Interaction and interactive responsiveness to multiple devices. Learners will plan, designs and build their own website ready for exploring connections between data sources and front-end interfaces.

5. Design and Develop Databases and Data Connections

This practice-based course allows apprentices to transform theory into action and build their database connection code according to design specifications. After establishing requirements to produce an effective connection between web and data assets, learners will apply industry best practice to implement their software solution, creating secure, functional code to high professional standards.

6. Software Testing & Deployment

This course offers a deep dive into problem solving and software testing approaches. In this dynamic session, learners will create and implement software test plans using different testing methodologies to identify and repair bugs within a piece of code.

Our apprenticeship curriculum combines expert technical training courses with corresponding Workplace Projects. After each course, apprentices continue to build their skills and apply what they've learned within the workplace, making a meaningful contribution to your team.
