The training consists of 6 online lessons (1,5 – 2 hour-long each). The lessons include theoretical and practical examples, and recommendations on implementing and considering the cases.

Despite the complexity and the technicality of the programme, the course is accounted for a basic level, hence, the materials in use are arranged in such a way to provide the new technical knowledge that it is easily and effectively learnt.

• Lesson 1. Operating systems + software types
• Lesson 2. Programming languages + Software development tools + Roles in teams and the areas of duties for technical specialists
• Lesson 3.  Software architectural levels + Data Architecture
• Lesson 4. Software architecture + Interfaces for interaction
• Lesson 5. CI/CD + Testing
• Lesson 6. Cutting Edge technologies

After every lesson, the course participants will be given tests to check their understanding of the subjects learnt. It will also be possible to ask the trainer and get a consultation during the webinar or later via email.
