Computer Programming Courses

The Work

A Programmer needs to establish the most efficient way to achieve a particular result or solve a specific problem. Computer programmes do not have the ability to think and guess what you are trying to achieve and will only do exactly what is asked of them. It is therefore essential that the programmes be written clearly, concisely and efficiently. A programmer needs to be able to think clearly and logically and plan for "What if?" situations.
Programmers need to enjoy problem solving and will have the desire and ability to work through a project until the end. They will often work alone but operate as part of a team with other professionals. They may go on to become Team Leaders, Project Managers or Analyst/Programmers.
It is unlikely today that a Programmer would be required to create a programme from scratch; they are far more likely to work on existing software, updating or modifying it to incorporate any changes. Typically this could be a new income tax rate, new company operating procedures, software improvements etc.

All our programming courses are for those individuals who have taken a basic programming course or who have the relevant experience and knowledge.

Keimos Programming Courses

Our courses use simulations extensively to provide opportunities for students to learn & practice skills-based content. This “learning by doing'” model is far more effective than the traditional true/false, multiple choice approach. Live application software is not needed.

Interactive content is used often in the courses to engage the learner's attention, to reinforce and exercise skills being taught, and to provide feedback on the learner's grasp of a skill or concept.

How do I study a CD based course?

If you choose a CD course from Keimos, you'll have the benefit of Skill Builder learning software which identifies your learning needs before you start, ensuring that you don't waste time going over things you already know or moving too far ahead before you are ready. With audio and visual instructions, you progress at your own pace, completing self assessment at the end of each topic so you can measure your progress.

How does the paper-based distance learning method work?

To make studying as flexible and convenient as possible, all the paper-based courses are divided into bite-sized modules that consist of clearly identified study units. You work through each unit at your own pace. At the end of each unit there is a testpaper for you to complete and send to your tutor for marking. Your tutor will return this to you with your mark and any comments.

With all our courses you only move on a new module after successfully completing the previous one - and only when you feel ready. With useful tips and self-assessments at every stage, you'll find your confidence and ability increasing steadily as you progress.
