Courses and training

I have always liked computers but it was only a few years ago that I decided to study what I really enjoy. One day I discovered a podcast about a bootcamp where lorry drivers were doing an online course. Every week the teacher made a podcast interviewing his students to check their progress and feelings. In that moment it dawn on me that the reason I enjoyed the podcast so much was because I shared their aspiration of becoming a software developer. So I started planning how to achieve my goal. So as I have started a web developer bootcamp with Openclassrooms.

As a Spanish person living abroad (in Northern Ireland), having the right certificates was a barrier to enrolling any higher certificate course. I got my A levels and Higher National Certificate in Financial Business in Spain, and those certificates are not transferrable to UK education scheme, so I couldn't use them to enroll the courses I needed in UK. Therefore, I decided to take an online Higher National Certificate in computer's software in Spain, specifically for Development of Multi-Platform Applications.

I decided to follow the typical path and take all the subjects of the first year. Then I realized the workload was too high to balance it with work. The online training did not work well for anyone. The majority of students couldn't manage to follow the pace of the course, and some teachers lacked the training required to impart the subjects online. After finishing my first year I managed to pass 2 subjects, which did not fulfil my expectations. I also realized that it would very hard to manage travelling to Spain to take the exams, so I decided not to continue with this course and take a different approach. I started some online courses to get the basics of multiplatform programming and decided to retake the higher certificate in Development of Multi-Platform Applications in the future.

Given that the HNCs covered HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, C# and Java, I started with some certificated courses to complement those areas among other languages, frameworks and hibraries, such as:

Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals Microsoft Certified: Software Development Fundamentals Microsoft Certified: Database Fundamentals Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Fundamentals Microsoft Certified: Dynamics 365 Fundamentals Microsoft Certified: Azure AI Fundamentals

I have also used the following resources for self learning purposes:
