2-course program: $2,800
The C and C++ Programmer Certificate includes coverage of programming in both the C and C++ languages.
Our unique approach combines on-demand training for C/C++ programming with personal facilitation and comprehensive hands-on exercises to ensure genuine competence. Our support staff provides personal setup assistance, guidance and lab equipment setup for each student. An instructor who has years of experience in C/C++ programming, is assigned to assist each student in completing lab exercises and to answer any questions about the C/C++ content. Our classes are designed to spend at least 50% of the time performing hands on exercises. The lab exercises are performed via direct high-speed access to a dedicated lab machine, providing responsive interaction and anywhere/anytime accessibility by the lab instructor and the student.
In the C Programming course, students are introduced to all major language elements including fundamental data types, flow control, and standard function libraries. The C++ course introduces core object oriented programming concepts including inheritance, encapsulation and polymorphism. C++ syntax and style are taught in the context of using object-oriented methods to achieve reusability, adaptability and reliability. Students can utilize Microsoft Visual Studio to complete hands-on labs or a UNIX-based environment if desired.
Upon completion of this program, students will have acquired an appropriate knowledge base and hands-on development experience to pursue an entry-level C programmer or C++ developer position in the workforce. This program provides a solid foundation of knowledge for the C Programming Language Certified Associate exam and the C++ Certified Associate Programmer exam, if a student wishes to pursue certification.
Take advantage of quality C/C++ Programming content and personal service to assure your success. Our unique approach to teaching valuable programming skills cannot be compared to anything else in the market.
There are a wide variety of career opportunities in the field of C++ software development. C++ programmers have been in high demand for decades. An entry-level C or C++ Programmer can expect to make $45,000 - $70,000 in their first year, with opportunities for dramatically increased midcareer earnings.
