Upskill onto a Software Developer role, for FREE!
If you're working within an entry-level IT role or have an entry-level IT qualification under your belt, you could advance your career with this two year diploma for free as part of the Government’s new Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund.
This diploma has all the key knowledge and skills that every new developer needs to start out. And, with Yoobee’s project-based approach to learning, you’ll be taught in a studio-like environment similar to how you could work in the industry.
Your first year covers all the foundational skills of a software developer by teaching you design principles, algorithms and programming through real hands-on learning. You get time to fill any gaps within your current knowledge and skills, and the opportunity to explore specialised fields that you'd like to become an expert at.
Once you're skilled up from your first year, your second year gets you to hone in on a particular field of software development, immersing yourself in either A.I, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security or Game Development. These specialised areas were specifically chosen for our diploma as they lead the tech industry world-wide and show no signs of slowing down.
Throughout your study, you get the chance to build rapport and network with other like-minded students, graduate with a New Zealand Diploma in Software Development (Level 6)*, and the competence and confidence to enter entry-level software developer roles.
