Is there a promising alternative to a university software engineering course?

When it comes to the idea of upskilling with software engineering, people generally think of traditional software engineering course options taken at university. However, if that doesn’t sound like the right fit for you, the Institute of Data provides a practical alternative for those wondering how to upskill and become a software engineer.

 

Quick answer: Yes, you can undergo a software engineering training program instead.

A university software engineering course isn’t your only option for quality software engineering training. Traditional university courses often require years of commitment, with multiple classes spread across semesters. For many professionals with full-time jobs or other obligations, this kind of long-term academic structure can be a barrier.

 

In a fast-paced industry like software engineering, traditional tertiary education curriculums can quickly become outdated, leading to difficulties in the job market upon graduating due to differences between knowledge and job requirements.

 

Fortunately, our programs at the Institute of Data are led by industry experts with in-depth knowledge of the latest developments in the field. Having these professionals as trainers, you can be confident that your lessons are grounded in relevant industry practices.

 

We offer training tailored to your lifestyle.

Want to study while managing your current job? Are you looking forward to entering the tech industry without waiting years? A software engineering short course, or a program designed to fast-track your learning, might be just what you’re looking for.

 

We believe that you don’t always have to sacrifice work or family commitments to complete a software engineering course, which is why we created our training programs.

 

We understand that not everyone can afford to pause their career or personal life to pursue long-term education. Our programs are designed with flexibility in mind. For example, for our software engineering program, we offer both 24-week part-time and 12-week full-time options, so students can gain skills without having to commit to studying for several years.

 

The best part is that with our real-time remote training programs, you can learn programming online from expert industry trainers in real-time. We get that if you already have a job or are busy with other obligations, you may not have the time to commute on top of your other commitments every day; that’s why we offer programs that suit those seeking real-time remote options.

 

So, if you find yourself searching for terms like ‘remote software development course with certification’ or ‘online programming courses for web developers’, you can save time by turning to our real-time online training programs instead.

 

Enjoy personalized support.

University classes are often large, making it difficult for students to receive individual assistance. At the Institute of Data, we do things differently by assigning industry lead trainers and assistant trainers. This ensures a more focused learning experience that gives each student the personalized attention and practical guidance they need.

 

Each small group of students is personally taught by the trainers, allowing students to ask questions and learn from real-world experience. As an extra benefit, students are supported by assistant trainers, made up of former students who excelled in the program, to help make learning easier and guide them through labs.

 

Additionally, our students benefit from a dedicated support team throughout the program. We also provide career coaching and job outcomes support so our course graduates are prepared when exploring their post-program options.

 

Our programs are practical and up-to-date with industry developments.

If you’re looking for current, industry-aligned training, the Institute of Data’s software engineering curriculum reflects exactly that. Our programs have been developed by tech industry professionals and are delivered in partnership with top universities.

 

Our program is developed and delivered by industry experts and features projects that mirror real-world challenges. This approach provides students with valuable experience and insights that prepare them for the practical demands of a software engineering career.

 

We use the same strategy for all our programs. Whether you’re looking at our cybersecurity or data science & AI courses, you’ll find a practical approach to IT upskilling that’ll help prepare you for actual opportunities in the field.
