Co-op Diploma in Computer Science and Front-end Web Development with Practicum 12+3 months

In collaboration with Holberton, Inc., Arbutus College has developed a customised 12-month program using the unique Holberton, Inc. Learning Management System (LMS) platform which was created from years working with expert professional software engineers and computer science education leaders around the globe. This specialised platform is the core of Arbutus’s Diploma in Computer Science and Frontend Web Development as students start from the basics of computer science and low-level programming using project based and Peer-to-peer learning as they progress on to higher level programming skills and web development expertise.

The Holberton LMS uses an exclusive auto-grading system tool, the “Checker” that quickly analyses, tracks and scores millions of lines of code to provide custom feedback to each student as they learn to code live on the platform. Not only does it check for proper functioning of code created by students, but it can check for dozens of other critical supporting elements like proper code documentation, code styling, code efficiency, and more, and guides students to learn how to fix the errors and develop their coding mastery.

In this program, students will learn skills in frontend development, including many skills that are in high demand throughout the industry.

Frontend web development defines how we use our computers every day. The work of Frontend developers is what helps technology be usable to the average person, and companies with the best, most stable, and most usable sites are the most popular on the web.

A Frontend developer is not only someone who can code with a framework, but someone that understands why these frameworks exist, work and how they interact with the browser

If you want to make the web more usable, more accessible, and more fun to use, Arbutus College’s Diploma in Computer Science and Frontend Web Development is the path for you to prepare for a career in an in-demand sector in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

This program does not require students to have previous software engineering experience but is also designed for those who do.  The dynamic learning management system provides a project-based, coding platform with automatic correction functionality and is powered by Holberton Inc Computer Science and Software Development.
