In many IT departments of German companies, English is spoken by default. There are good reasons for this. In order to counter the shortage of skilled labour, foreign IT specialists are also being recruited, whose integration is facilitated by English. Specialised literature and technical documentation are often written in English, which makes English language skills necessary. In addition, companies often work with international partners and service providers, with English serving as the common language. Finally, English is used in programming languages and technical standards, which simplifies communication.

An English-language Software Developer course helps train talented individuals in Germany and abroad. It prepares participants to work in international companies and in German companies with English-speaking IT departments.

The "Software Developer (IHK) - English" training program equips you with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for success in the dynamic world of software development. Through a combination of live online trainings and hands-on projects, you will learn the principles of object-oriented programming, laying a solid foundation for your career in this rapidly evolving field.

Missed individual sessions can each be made up by watching the recording.

Please enrol soon to secure your spot in this training program. With limited class sizes, you will have better opportunities for interactive learning, engaging discussions, and personalised guidance from our experienced trainers.

Target group
This course targets IT-savvy beginners and those with some software development experience who enjoy detailed, logical thinking. While it's intended for participants from Germany, international participants are also welcome.

Certificate
The course ends with a final test in the form of project work. The project work is carried out independently by the participants and is supported by the lecturer with tutorials. At the end of the project work, an individual technical discussion takes place as an online conference with the trainer. For individual identification and the technical discussion (course presentation), the participant will need a webcam or a smartphone with a camera.

Participants receive the IHK certificate "Software Developer (IHK)" after completing the course and passing the project work including the technical discussion. Note: The IHK certificate is not equivalent to a certificate under public law and does not constitute personal certification in accordance with ISO.

Requirements
Neither a specific educational qualification nor relevant professional experience is required for admission to project work with technical discussions.

Necessity of live presence
The course takes place completely live online. Please note that recordings cannot replace live attendance. Our experience shows that you should attend at least 80 percent of the sessions live in order to achieve the desired learning success. This course is therefore not suitable as a self-study product. If a funding body has promised you a grant for the course, you may have to meet a minimum live attendance quota in order to receive the grant. If you have any questions about this, please contact the office to which you have applied for funding.
