Assessment and certificates There’s no formal assessment for this Java course, but you will receive a certificate of attendance. You’ll work on projects each week and your tutor will give you additional projects to tackle if you progress quickly. Each week you’ll revisit what you’ve already learnt and build on that knowledge with new information. You’ll gradually increase the complexity of the problems you’re solving and the programs you’re writing. The project-based approach to teaching makes it a highly practical course. You’ll work through various examples to solve problems and write simple Java programs that solve everyday problems and complete common tasks. Each week, you’ll receive feedback on your work. Your tutor will provide additional support if you need it. You’re also encouraged to set up a portfolio of your programming work to show prospective employers.
