Our software development courses are backed up by over 20 years experience in professional software engineering and training.
Qualified
With professional training qualifications and over 20 years software engineering experience (including senior roles at industry-leading businesses), you can expect to receive the highest quality level of training. We have personally attended enough poor or average courses to know how not to do it!
Tailored
Every department/developer is different, so we will tailor the course to your needs. Each course comprises modules that may be mixed and matched. The location can be onsite, or at a fully-specced venue nearby. We can supply all equipment and refreshments. We also provide one-to-one online tuition.
Interactive
Because the best way to learn is through trial and error, all our courses are fully interactive using online TrueBit labs. Each module includes hands-on exercises to challenge and stretch you, ensuring you fully grasp it before progressing to the next. All carefully created in-house material can be taken away.
Up-to-Date
Course content and tools are regularly reviewed to ensure they adhere to the latest paradigms and versions as used by professional software engineers today. Our focus is always on the practical, so as a guiding principle we avoid using the very latest "bleeding-edge" experimental tech.
Each course comprises modules, and each module has a nominal duration of 90 minutes. We offer the following default format and schedule, which may be customized to your requirements.
Programmed, Interactive Training
Following established pedagogical research and our own professional experiences, we practice programmed training techniques that maintain student motivation and help achieve subject mastery quickly.
The key to learning any new skill is practice, and more practice. The key to applying that skill effectively is direction from experienced users. This is why TrueBit training involves interactive lab exercises with on-the-spot trainer interaction. This approach has significant advantages over viewing an online video.
Each module provides:
Module Content
Each module lasts for 90 minutes, and involves presentations, break-out discussions, and interactive lab exercises.
Presentations
Presentations will be performed on a large screen. Students receive hard-copies for taking notes.
Break-outs
Some modules involve break-out teams of twos and threes to solve problems and bounce off ideas.
TrueBit Labs
Throughout the module, students will be challenged with exercises and assessments carried out in our online labs.
Course Material
Following completion of the course, students can take away a booklet comprising all printed course material, and a USB key comprising the same material and the lab exercises.
