Java Course Modules for In-house Training
Combine Modules for Customised Java Training
Most of our Java course modules are outlined below. They can be combined in different ways to produce a wide range of specialist Java courses. Our own "off the shelf" Java courses are, for example, built in this way.
With judicious selection, a purchasing company can build itself a bespoke Java training solution from these modules at a fraction of the usual cost.
The vast majority of modules and their hands-on exercises are delivered in a quarter day. A few exceptional modules last a half day, because cross-dependencies in their content dictate a specific sequence of progress.
Please ring our training advisors for help in assembling a course with appropriate content, speed of progress, prerequisite knowledge, and consistent subject matter, etc.
- N.B. GBdirect write fully-bespoke courses for clients in all of our specialist areas of consultancy. If you have such a requirement and the budget for it, please contact our course developers for advice and support.
