Java Curriculum
Our Java programming course is designed for individuals who want to learn Java from scratch, regardless of their current knowledge. The course is divided into two parts: "Programming fundamentals in Java" and "Object-oriented programming in Java". The first part covers the basics of Java programming, while the second part focuses on more advanced concepts.
Each part is divided into six modules, and each module contains a project to help students apply what they have learned. Our approach to learning is flexible, allowing students to choose to take all or just a few modules depending on their learning goals and requirements.
Our basic course, "Programming fundamentals in Java", is ideal for beginners who want to learn the basics of programming with Java. On the other hand, the advanced course, "Object-oriented programming in Java", is designed for those who want to take their Java programming skills to the next level.
Our course is perfect for individuals who want to develop their skills for a career in the IT industry or for those who want to learn coding as an extracurricular activity. We understand that each student's schedule and pace of learning are unique, and we strive to provide flexible learning solutions that best meet the needs of our students.
