1. Shape the future of technology. QA’s pioneering software developer
apprenticeship puts the IT sector’s most sought-after skills at the
fingertips of the UK’s young people. Commands, queries, multiple
languages – QA Apprentices can code them all.
This programme turns enthusiastic geeks and bedroom hackers into coding masters.
Available in two pathways for C# and Java, it combines relevant QA training with
mentoring and assessment in the workplace.
We teach and assess these skills to industry standards ensuring they are applied on the job:
• Object-oriented programming • Web and systems development
• SQL data modelling • Event-driven programming

minimal support.
