Apprentice Software Developer

About this opportunity

Are you a creative problem solver? You could be an excellent software developer. This Level 4 Apprenticeship is a unique scheme, delivered by the largest digital and technology trade body in the North West: Manchester Digital.

A normal day would include:

• Building and testing top level codes
• Learning new elements of technical programming
• Working with software languages such as java Script, C++, C#, php
• Learn and implement concepts, contexts and methodologies

How will I be supported?
Training is provided through monthly boot camps, hacks and industry specialist events. All training is designed by senior industry experts and delivered in a dynamic and collaborative learning environment. The fast-paced, intensive programme delivery means you could be a fully qualified junior developer in as little as 18 months. You will be supported by your learning and development coach and assessed throughout the programme on your technical competencies, knowledge, skills, attitude and behaviours, as well as working to create a portfolio of evidence and taking a professional qualification assessment.

Is this programme for you?
Do you want to earn a good salary while you learn? Do you work best hands-on? Want to be mentored by and learn directly from industry experts? Then this apprenticeship is for you.

• You may already work in a tech environment and are looking to take a step up
• You may have some entry-level experience or evidence of self-learning in software development.

However, remember, you don't need to have done lots of coding already, but you do need a can-do attitude and a willingness to learn.
