Introduction
The Software Development Technician is designed for those who wish to start or strengthen their training in software development through a progressive, practical path focused on building technological solutions.
Throughout the program, you will learn from the fundamentals of programming to the development of Frontend and Backend applications, incorporating software design principles, object-oriented programming, quality assurance, and project development.
The technical training is complemented by progressive English learning, with the aim of preparing the student to navigate more confidently in a professional area where much of the documentation, tools, and technical communication use this language.
Training Areas
The program integrates different fundamental areas of software development to provide a balanced training between programming, solution building, quality, communication, and practical application.
- Programming and problem solving: You will develop the necessary foundations to understand problems, propose solutions through algorithms, and progressively transform them into programs using principles and structures inherent to software development.
- Software development: You will learn the process by which a need or idea can become a technological solution, understanding the different stages, practices, and responsibilities involved in software construction.
- Object-Oriented Programming: You will learn to structure programs using objects, classes, and other principles of object-oriented programming, aiming to build more organized, reusable, and maintainable solutions.
- Frontend and Backend: You will explore the two main areas involved in many modern applications. You will work both with building interfaces and experiences that the user interacts with, as well as with the logic, processing, databases, and services that operate behind them.
- Software Design: You will develop criteria to organize and design software solutions in a structured way, considering principles that favor their understanding, maintenance, evolution, and quality.
- Software Quality Assurance: You will learn the importance of verifying and validating the operation of a solution, identifying defects and applying practices that contribute to developing higher quality and reliability software.
- English applied to the technological environment: English is progressively developed as a complementary skill to technical training. In addition to strengthening communication skills, it will allow the student to navigate more comfortably through documentation, tools, and contexts specific to the technology industry.
- Project Development: Projects allow for the integration of knowledge acquired during different stages of the program. The student must analyze problems, make decisions, apply technical knowledge, and build solutions that demonstrate their evolution during training.

What and how will you learn?
Learning software development involves much more than memorizing programming instructions. During the program, you will learn to analyze problems, propose solutions, program, design, build, test, and improve software, combining technical knowledge with practical experiences that will progressively increase in complexity.
You will start by developing fundamentals and then advance to object-oriented programming, Frontend and Backend development, software design, and quality assurance. As you progress, you will need to integrate this knowledge to face increasingly comprehensive challenges and projects.
The goal is for you to understand not only how to write code but also how to use it to build software solutions in an organized and well-founded manner.
Methodology
The program uses a theoretical-practical methodology, where concepts serve as a foundation to later apply them through exercises, practices, problem-solving, and projects.
Classes combine conceptual explanations with demonstrations, guided activities, and spaces where the student must experiment, analyze, and build their own solutions.
El nivel de autonomía aumentará progresivamente. Durante las primeras etapas existirá mayor acompañamiento en la adquisición de los fundamentos, mientras que los cursos posteriores requerirán integrar conocimientos previamente desarrollados y tomar decisiones con mayor independencia. Esto nos permite promover el aprendizaje mediante la práctica, sin dejar de lado los fundamentos necesarios para comprender por qué una solución funciona y cómo puede mejorarse.
Assessment and support of learning
Assessment is part of the learning process and is not limited solely to determining a grade, but rather to creating spaces to identify strengths, analyze areas for improvement, and ensure continuous progress regarding students' skills.
Depending on the characteristics of each course, exercises, practices, projects, assessments, research, individual or collaborative activities, and other strategies may be used to demonstrate mastery of the corresponding knowledge and competencies.
We understand that learning programming and software development involves facing problems, making mistakes, experimenting, and finding new ways to solve them. For this reason, teacher support is an important part of the training process. During the different courses, you will be able to ask questions, receive feedback, and obtain guidance on the content and activities developed.
Entry Profile
The program is aimed at individuals interested in starting a structured training in programming and software development.
It is not expected that the student has prior mastery of programming languages or specialized tools, as the path begins by developing the necessary foundations to progressively advance to more complex content.
However, it will be beneficial to have a willingness to learn, an interest in technology, the ability to face problems logically, and a commitment to practice outside of class.
It will also be important to maintain an open attitude towards learning English, due to its presence during different stages of the program and particularly in its final phase.
Is this program for me?
This program can be a very good option if:
- You are interested in understanding how the applications and systems we use daily work and are built.
- You want to learn programming even if you don't have prior experience.
- You enjoy solving problems, experimenting, and seeking different solutions.
- You are looking for structured training that goes beyond just learning a programming language.
- You are interested in developing skills in Frontend, Backend, quality, and software design.
- You want to build projects that allow you to apply the knowledge acquired.
- You are willing to progressively develop your technical skills and your English.
You do not need to start knowing how to program. Our path is designed for you to build those skills progressively.

Training Path
The program is designed as a progressive learning path that accompanies the student from the fundamentals of programming to the comprehensive development of software solutions.
The training begins with Basic Programming and Introduction to Software Development, where the foundations of computational thinking, problem-solving, and understanding the software development process are built. Subsequently, Object-Oriented Programming and Software Design Principles allow for advancing towards the creation of more structured, maintainable, and scalable solutions.
With these foundations, the student deepens their knowledge in the main areas of modern development through Backend and Frontend, understanding both the logic and services that support an application as well as the construction of the interfaces with which users interact. The training is complemented with Software Quality Assurance, incorporating principles and practices aimed at verifying the quality and reliability of the developed software.
The acquired learning begins to integrate through Final Software Project I, where the student puts into practice knowledge from different areas of the program in a larger-scale project.
In parallel, the courses of English I, II, III, and IV they progressively develop competencies in English that allow them to navigate with greater confidence in academic and technological environments, where this language has a fundamental presence.
The path culminates with Final Software Project II, taught entirely in English, in which the student integrates the technical, methodological, and linguistic knowledge developed during the program to face a project experience close to the challenges they may encounter in professional software development contexts.
