- Professional-grade approach with Test-Driven Development, architecture and design patterns, introduction to cloud computing with AWS and more
- Option to dedicate modules to your business’s specific technology stack, e.g. if you’re a C# studio, your apprentices can have specific training in that supported by a personal development plan
Realistic Job Training
Whilst in learning, apprentices act like developers in production teams,  taking part in daily stand-ups, task management with tickets, code reviews, white-boarding sessions, reading documentation to contribute to projects, writing documentation – the lot.
