Our curriculum is designed to guide students through the software development process starting from foundational concepts to advanced applications. We begin with the basics of programming using JavaScript and introduce web design with HTML and CSS. From there we progress to simple web development followed by more advanced front-end techniques using .

The course then transitions to backend development focusing on API creation and database management. Approximately 50% of the course is dedicated to JavaScript-based frontend development 25% to backend development with a focus on APIs databases and security and the remainder on backend development using an additional programming language.

Additionally we equip learners with essential skills for the workplace including source control team collaboration and developer workflows ensuring they are well-prepared for working in cross-functional team environments.

The Software Engineering Bootcamp consists of four units:

• Unit 1: Fundamentals of Software Engineering
