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.

What is a Level 3?

Level 3 qualifications are equivalent to an A Level. If you are interested in learning new skills, this could be best for you. It is more in depth than a level 2 and can be useful for breaking into new roles.

What’s next after I sign up?

Once you sign up for a course, you should receive notification via email (check junk) and SMS with all your enrolment information. You will need to complete all the required forms, you may be asked (via email) to complete a short English and maths test to continue your enrolment process. Once you have completed all entry requirements, you will be on course. You will be introduced to your designated tutor, who will answer all your questions about course content and any general queries.

What does no funding mean?

Funding is based on the government and certain areas that colleges may be based in. If your area currently doesn’t have funding this usually means that either the college has overallocated students to their courses or the area falls in a region where government funds aren’t currently supplied to colleges in that particular area.
