The program is broken down into four segments: training, test preparation, internship, and job search. The entire program should take 11 months or less to complete. The schedule is as follows:

  • Training: 12 weeks
  • Test Prep: 8 weeks
  • Internship: 16 weeks

There are 11 courses offered for the Java Programmer track. Generally students are expected to complete all assignments by their due date, this usually means completing one course each week. On average, each course takes 2-1/2 hours to complete.

All courses are self-paced and offered online. Students do not have to complete a course in one sitting, and may save their progress at different points and return to complete the course when it is convenient. Most courses include sample tests to help the student gauge their progress and comprehension of the subject matter. For some courses, students will be provided with printed study materials.
