Dive into the dynamic realm of software engineering, a field that unleashes your creativity and allows you to work with software, hardware, and diverse computer systems across various industries. Our comprehensive Software Engineering Bootcamp positions you at the forefront of the digital economy, presenting limitless opportunities for professional growth. Start your coding journey today and pave the way to becoming an in-demand software engineer.

Description

Our bootcamp is structured to allow you to start coding as soon as possible. Tasks are designed to teach you the theory needed to develop your skills and give you the opportunity to practise implementing your newly acquired Python and SQL knowledge by completing practical activities.

You’ll learn how to write code that can interact with databases that use established architectural patterns and algorithms to create useful software that solves real-world problems. You’ll be challenged to test, debug, handle errors, deploy and maintain software.

Throughout the bootcamp, you will be guided to develop the skills required to think beyond mere software development and deployment. You’ll learn about the importance of developing software using agile principles and how to communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders. You’ll also learn to apply best practice principles during the software development lifecycle, building a portfolio to showcase your new skills as you learn.

Outcomes of the bootcamp include:

  • Design solutions to problems, and express them using pseudo-code and algorithms.
  • Write useful industry-standard code using Python, one of the best programming languages to learn, as it’s used throughout the industry to create various web and data-driven applications.
  • Demonstrate familiarity with the Python syntax and libraries that are foundational to software engineering.
  • Apply fundamental concepts such as variables, control flow, and data structures like lists and dictionaries to create procedural programs.
  • Apply Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles to design and implement classes that model real-world objects and scenarios, utilising inheritance to reduce code duplication and improve code organisation.
  • Design, plan, build, debug, test, and complete coding projects.
  • Perform version control using tools like Git to manage software projects collaboratively, ensuring code quality, and maintainability, and analysing system architecture in real-world domains.
  • Create and populate a technical portfolio to showcase your skills to potential employers.
  • Get ready to apply for tech roles with the support of our careers team, which guides and prepares you for your tech career.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
