Structure and style real web pages from scratch.

Make pages dynamic and handle user input and events.

Problem-solving, reading code and debugging, with AI as a pair, not autopilot.

Fetch, store and use data, and connect your app to real services.

Work with Git and GitHub the way real teams do.

Build a backend and the APIs your app runs on.

Model your data, store it reliably and add secure sign-in.

Use Copilot, Cursor and Claude to plan, write and review code the right way.

Make what you build solid, reliable and safe.

Get your app live on the web and ready for real users.

Questions, answered.

How is the course delivered?

Software Development runs fully online and live. Classes hold over 8 weeks, starting January 11, 2027, with weekday or weekend cohorts to choose from, so you can learn without leaving your current job or studies.

Do I need prior experience?

No prior experience is required. We start from the fundamentals and build up to real, job-ready projects step by step.

What will I leave with?

A portfolio project you can show employers, practical skills you can use immediately, and a certificate of completion from Betternship.

Will this help me get hired?

We're a recruitment agency, and the course is built around what employers actually ask us for. Standout learners may be put forward to the Betternship recruitment team for relevant roles. It can't guarantee a job, and no honest course can.

What do I need to take part?

A laptop, a stable internet connection, and the willingness to do the weekly assignments.
