Course Description
The Level 3 Certificate in Coding Practices is designed to give you a solid foundation in modern software development. Whether you're starting your journey into coding or looking to formalise existing skills, this course equips you with the knowledge and hands-on experience needed to succeed in a technical career.
You'll begin by exploring the key requirements of coding and how to effectively plan a development project. From there, you'll dive into the principles of coding design, learning how to structure and organise code for readability, scalability, and efficiency.
The course then guides you through the coding process itself, focusing on real-world implementation skills across a variety of programming languages. You'll also gain practical insight into software testing techniques, ensuring the functionality, performance, and reliability of your applications.
Finally, you'll explore deployment, configuration management, and long-term maintenance practices—critical skills for supporting software after it goes live.
By the end of this course, you'll have a well-rounded understanding of the software development lifecycle and the confidence to apply coding practices in a range of professional environments.
