Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Java course.
Do I need prior programming experience?
While our Java course is designed to be accessible to beginners, having some basic understanding of programming concepts is helpful. If you're completely new to programming, our Python course might be a gentler introduction. However, we've had many students with no prior experience successfully complete the Java course with dedication and hard work.
How does Java compare to other programming languages?
Java is known for its stability, platform independence, and widespread use in enterprise systems. Compared to Python, Java is more structured and verbose but offers better performance for certain applications. Unlike JavaScript, which primarily runs in browsers, Java powers backend systems, Android apps, and desktop applications. The skills you learn in our Java course are transferable to other object-oriented languages like C# and C++.
What kind of job can I get after completing this course?
Graduates of our Java course have secured roles such as Java Developer, Backend Developer, Full-Stack Developer, Android Developer, and Software Engineer. Java developers are in high demand across various industries including banking, insurance, e-commerce, healthcare, and government. With our career support services, we help match your skills and interests to suitable job opportunities in Cyprus and beyond.
What's the time commitment for this course?
The course consists of two 3-hour sessions per week for 16 weeks, totaling 96 hours of instructor-led training. Additionally, you should expect to spend 10-15 hours per week on homework, projects, and self-study. Java has a steeper learning curve than some languages, so consistent practice is essential for mastery. Students who dedicate more time outside of class typically see better results.
Will I learn Android development in this course?
Yes, we include an introduction to Android development in the final module of the course. While our primary focus is on core Java and enterprise development with Spring, you'll gain enough knowledge of Android basics to start exploring mobile development. For those specifically interested in Android careers, we offer a specialized Android Development course that builds on the Java fundamentals taught in this course.
