What will I experience?

The Object Oriented Programming modules cover the Oracle Java Certified Associate syllabus and some material from the Oracle Java Certified Professional syllabus.

The Agile Design and Testing modules includes Scrum Master training material and ISTQB Foundation level material, as well as practical experience of test automation tools and version control systems.

In the Team Project modules learners will work as part of a team in a “simulated industry environment” to develop a solution to an industry type problem. The Team Projects are a fundamental element where the group work facilitates peer-supported learning.
