About the course
This diploma is a two-year "Full-Stack" information technology programme that will prepare you for entry into the IT industry.
After completing the first year focusing on Web Development and Web Design, in the second year, students will learn about SQL database design, mobile app development for Android and IOS, C#, Javascript and ASP.NET, along with project management.
Students will have more practical time learning and writing code than most 3-year degrees. This means no irrelevant papers or unrelated subjects, as required in most university degrees.
This programme only requires 2-days a week in class with the additional option of one-on-one tutorials available when needed.
Successful graduates of the full two years will receive a Level 6 New Zealand Diploma in Software Development. Some of our graduates have moved into software development roles across a wide range of industries, such as education and e-learning, shipping and freight, healthcare, business and data management, and artificial intelligence.
