Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
After the course, you will be able to handle Java quickly and confidently and will be able to develop complex solutions. You will have basic knowledge of software testing, be familiar with various test procedures and be able to create meaningful reviews. You are also proficient in the Scrum process, support product owners in process management and improvement and are familiar with Scrum artifacts.
IT apprentices, IT specialists, programmers and specialists with relevant professional experience.
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.
Software testers are employed wherever software is developed or websites are created. Software testers are also sought after in the gaming industry and by service providers who specialize in software testing. With the "ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level" certificate, you can provide meaningful proof of your new knowledge.
With Scrum, you will also learn a project and product management process model that was originally used for agile software development in particular, but is now also used in many other specialist areas. As a scalable project management and development method, it is used successfully in numerous large-scale projects with several hundred team members. The official certificate from Scrum.org provides you with internationally recognized proof of your qualifications as a Scrum Master.
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.
