NZ Diploma in Software Development (L6)
The aim of this new programme is to provide students with the opportunity to achieve a qualification in software development which meets industry needs for appropriately qualified information technology (IT) employees. Upon graduating you will be able to enter employment in a development or testing role, in a range of organisational contexts. These roles may require fundamental coding, scripting, and testing skills, and are less likely to require significant architecture and design skills. You may also be employed in other roles that use programming skills, such as teaching, small business projects; or be self-employed.
This diploma is a 240 credit programme, consisting of 14 x 15 credit courses and one x 30 credit project. These courses start every five weeks. The first 20 working days are the study days on the course. The last five days will usually include a day each for revision and the final assessment, and days for study break.
