Course details may be subject to change. Builds software components as part of development projects within a team. Learn to write simple code, apply security, problem solve, apply configuration management control, and make simple connections between code and defined data sources. Study Aims A Software Development Technician typically works as part of a software development team, to build simple software components (whether web, mobile or desktop applications) to be used by other members of the team as part of larger software development projects. The role includes interpreting simple design requirements for discrete components of the project under supervision. The approach will typically include implementing code, which other team members have developed, to produce the required component. The Software Development Technician will also be engaged in testing that the specific component meets its intended functionality. Modules Studied Software Development Context and Methodologies Programming Competencies (writing simple code, applying security, problem-solving, applying industry-standard approaches for configuration management and version control, making simple connections between code and defined data sources.)
You will hold 5 GCSEs at grade 9-4 (A-C), including English and maths, or a Level 2 qualification in IT at Distinction plus GCSEs at grades 9-4 (A-C) in English and maths.
This course combines work-based learning with theoretical learning at college one day per week. On Programme Assessment Technical knowledge and understanding are assessed on program through a combination of Ofqual-regulated Knowledge Modules and specified vendor and professional qualifications. These must be passed before the end-point assessment can take place.
