Flatpack’s Holistic Approach to our Software Engineering Bootcamp

Our Holistic Approach to Teaching Software Engineering To put it bluntly, software engineering is complicated! To prepare students for success in tech as engineers, we take a holistic approach to teaching that encompasses both the technical and professional skills required for the job.

Unfortunately gone are the days where knowing some HTML was enough to get you the job title of 'Software Engineer'. Companies now require highly skilled people with a professional mindset.

What is a Holistic Approach? A holistic approach to teaching software engineering is one that considers all aspects of your learning experience. This includes not only the technical skills you need to build software, but also the soft skills, such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. It's these additional soft skills that set Flatpack Coders graduates apart from other software engineering bootcamp graduates.

Our Principles Our holistic approach to teaching software engineering is based on the following principles:

• Hands-on learning: People learn best by doing. We provide you with ample opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-world projects.

• Teamwork: Software engineers have to collaborate with team members from every part of a business. We give you the opportunity to work together in teams to solve problems and develop software solutions.

• Communication: Just because you understand how a complex piece of software works, doesn't mean that the person you're talking to does. We teach you how to communicate clearly and concisely with both technical and non-technical audiences.

• Problem-solving: Ultimately, software engineers are problem solvers. We teach our students how to identify and solve problems in a systematic and effective way.
  

Our Curriculum Our curriculum is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed. We cover a wide range of topics, including:

• Software design: The process of designing and developing software systems.

• Software development: The process of writing and testing software code.

• Software testing: The process of ensuring that software meets its requirements.

• Software maintenance: The process of keeping software systems up to date and bug-free.

• Software engineering tools and techniques: The tools and techniques that software engineers use to develop and maintain software systems.

This is where Flatpack coders really shines!
