Foundations of Software Development, Coding Logic, and Application Programming — a 10-week programme designed to launch your career in technology.
The Award in Computer Programming (ASTI-EQ-ECAS-AWD-ICT-PROG-207-26) equips students with the foundational knowledge and hands-on exposure needed to thrive in modern technology environments. Over the course of ten intensive weeks, learners build practical competencies across core programming disciplines.
This programme is designed for individuals who are entering the field of technology for the first time or looking to formalise their coding knowledge. You will develop skills in problem-solving, programming structures, algorithmic thinking, and application development — all essential capabilities for today's digital economy.
Whether you are a school leaver, a career changer, or a professional looking to upskill, this award provides a credible and structured entry point into the ICT industry.
The curriculum has been structured to take learners from first principles through to practical application, ensuring a well-rounded grounding in programming fundamentals.
Core concepts of computer programming, coding principles, variables, data types, operators, and control structures.
Introduction to programming logic, algorithmic thinking, flowcharting principles, and structured approaches to problem resolution.
Basic software development lifecycles, application design concepts, and an introduction to object-oriented programming principles.
Techniques for identifying and troubleshooting programming errors, alongside workplace professionalism and industry software development practices.
Each module within the programme builds logically upon the last, ensuring learners progress with confidence from theory to practice.
Understand the language of computers — syntax, structure, and the universal principles that underpin all modern programming languages.
Design logical solutions to real-world problems using pseudocode and visual flowcharts before translating them into working code.
