You will be gently eased into looking at actual client work very early on, but under the supervision of your buddy who will guide you in best practice design principles appropriate for your specialism such as object oriented design principles, test driven development and others.

Throughout the training, emphasis is placed on practical project work to develop your skills and reinforce the best practices you have learnt. Having attained a solid basic knowledge of a language, you will progress into more advanced work focusing on specific areas and technologies.

• Gain a thorough understanding of the Java Language
• Learn about server side web development using enterprise web containers
• Deliver projects using the MVC model of software development.
• Exposure to multiple Java frameworks

Additionally, you will be working directly with our clients at their various locations where you will attend project meetings and design workshops. This part of your training and development is essential and is the Cognitran way of doing business. By being in direct communication with our costumes you will obtain an invaluable insight into our customers' needs and be better placed to develop solutions which meet these needs.
