Java with additional qualification in artificial intelligence (AI) for software developers

Free of cost

by funding

The course first provides you with practical knowledge about the basics of artificial intelligence, which is specially tailored to the needs of developers. The course then explains object-oriented programming with Java and the Eclipse development environment: the focus is on creating programs with a sophisticated interface and connecting to databases.

Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

Java is one of the most widely used object-oriented programming languages. After the course, you will be able to use Java quickly and confidently and will be able to develop complex solutions.

You also understand the basics of artificial intelligence and machine learning. You will be able to process data, create and evaluate models and have initial experience with deep learning and unsupervised learning.

IT apprentices, IT specialists, programmers and specialists with relevant professional experience.

With the growing demand for AI applications, developers with the relevant skills are in high demand across all industries.

Programs created with Java are hardware- and operating system-independent, making Java very versatile. The main areas of use are web applications, applications for mobile devices, desktop applications, applets and smart cards.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
