Software Development Technician Advanced Apprenticeship – Level 3Course Details
The aim of this apprenticeship is to provide the skills and knowledge required to begin a career in software development.
This allows the learner to gain an understanding of the tools and methodologies used by software developers. Learners will gain an appreciation
of the concepts, approaches and techniques of programming and will apply these to simple software components used by teams within their
organisation and their customer base. Software development technicians will also be engaged with software testing to ensure that components meet
the required specifications and intended functionality.
