Teaching methodology
The training consists of lectures that are held online in ZOOM. For the demonstration of the practical work are used video materials.
Educational materials. Course “Basics of Programming in the Java Language”
Each student receives learning materials in PDF Format. The student receives the learning materials after paying for the tuition and crediting the payment to the current account of the education centre. After receiving the payment, the education centre provides the student with access to the personal account. The student’s learning materials are located in the personal account. Video materials are sent in the appropriate video format. The cost of training materials is included in the course price.
Description of the learning environment
Training is conducted online via ZOOM.
Conditions of graduation
The course is considered as completed, after the student has passed all the subjects prescribed in the curriculum, in the amount provided by the curriculum. The exam is conducted in the form of an examination test according to the course program. The exam is counted as passed if the student has completed at least 60% of all tasks of the test. At the end of the course, the student receives a certificate of completion or certificate of attendance of the course.
Documents the student receives
A certificate of completion of the course is issued if the student has attended at least 70% of the classes, completed at least 70% of the homework and independent work and/or passed the course exam. If a student attended less than 70% of classes, completed less than 70% of homework and/or did not pass the course exam, then upon completion of the course he will be issued a certificate of attendance of the course.
The certificate of completion of the course contains the student’s personal data and school data, learning outcomes (knowledge and practical skills that the student has acquired as a result of the training), the scope of the curriculum, the period of study, a list of teachers.
The certificate of attendance of the course contains the student’s personal data, school data, the number of academic hours of study attended by the student, the period of study, a list of teachers.
Both certificates are issued in English.
At the end of the course, the student:
- creates basic Java modules using modern coding standards and modern features of the Java language (1.8);
- applies the principles of object-oriented programming;
- optimizes the operation of the application, based on the selection of optimal algorithms;
- creates scalable applications using ergonomic code design patterns;
- maintains the stability and security of applications with a large number of threads.
The course is designed for persons:
- those who want to gain knowledge of the basics of programming in the Java language, at the level of Junior Java developer;
- IT specialists with secondary and vocational education who want to improve their skills or gain new knowledge in their field;

Course program. Course “Basics of Programming in the Java Language” online
This course is based on an imitation of real software development work. During the conduct, students will be involved in a full-fledged software development process: presentation, analysis, and documentation of “use cases”, prototyping interfaces for user interaction with the application, preparation of back-end and front-end parts. The main emphasis is on the back-end part, namely performance, quality, and optimal code construction. Students will make full use of modern tools to ensure teamwork, such as Git, Jira, Confluence.
