Course Information

Introduction

The main purpose of this role is to interpret a client’s requirements from a design specification and then build and test high-quality code that delivers effective, reliable solutions.

Overview

Software Developers work across all sectors – from finance and gaming to transport, retail, and defence – building and testing high-quality code based on client requirements. They create both applications and system software, helping organisations improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and meet user needs. Developers may work on projects like traffic control systems, e-commerce sites, or gaming platforms, often as part of a wider team. In smaller companies, they may take full responsibility under supervision. Their role spans the full software development lifecycle, and they collaborate with users, designers, analysts, and project managers to deliver reliable, effective digital solutions.

Entry requirements

The employer will agree entry requirements for these apprenticeships and these will depend on the role that they are advertising.
