Syllabus Structure
1. Courses a student can learn independently and still become a solid professional
These are strong stand-alone courses. A learner can study them by themselves and still reach a hiring-ready level without needing to borrow other courses.
Stand-Alone Courses
Programming Languages (each one stands alone):
- Python Programming
- JavaScript Programming
- Java Programming
- C Programming
- C++ Programming
- C# Programming
- Kotlin Programming
- Swift Programming
- Ruby Programming
- PHP Programming
Design & Web-Facing Skills:
- UI/UX Design Fundamentals
- UI/UX Design & Product Experience
- HTML & CSS Fundamentals
- Bootstrap & Responsive Design
- CMS (WordPress)
- Scratch Programming (beginner-level)
Data & AI Skills:
- SQL Programming
- Data Analysis & Visualization
- Database Design & Management
- Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
Infrastructure & Operations:
- Cloud Administration
- Cloud Operations (CI/CD, IaC, Kubernetes)
- Cloud Security
Project-Focused Courses:
- Project Management
- Robotics (if taken at an introductory level)
These courses naturally benefit from extra skills, but they do not require them to succeed professionally.
2. Courses that require pairing with other courses for a complete education
These are not fully stand-alone. A student becomes stronger and more employable when they combine them with related courses.
