Become a Junior Software Developer in 7 months

Over 7 months, this hands-on program helps you become a Junior Software Developer, ready to start a career in tech.

You’ll start by building strong foundations: working with the terminal, GitHub, and core programming concepts. You’ll explore object-oriented programming, web development fundamentals (HTML, CSS, DOM), and learn how to work with APIs and SQL databases.

As you progress, the program shifts toward specialization and real-world practice. You’ll deepen your skills in C# and modern frameworks like ASP.NET, applying what you learn through concrete, project-based work — including a final API-focused project.

The final phase allows you to specialize further and prepare for your internship, with modules on technologies such as TypeScript, Angular, Azure, and more, helping you shape your own path in the tech world.

So you wanna be a junior sofware developer

C# or .Net?

Who Is This Training For?

The BeCode Software Development training is 100% free and open to anyone who already has basic coding knowledge and is ready for a meaningful career change.

You don’t need a diploma, money, or a specific background. Age, experience, origin, or appearance don’t matter either. What really counts is your motivation, curiosity, logical thinking, and your ability to understand the language used during the training.
An entry test helps ensure you have the necessary foundations to get started. You simply need to be registered as a job seeker.

Build Strong Technical Skills

You’ll strengthen your software development foundations and grow your expertise in C# .NET, databases, and API development. Through hands-on projects and real-world challenges, you’ll specialize in modern web and backend development using frameworks such as ASP.NET.

Learning by doing is at the heart of the program: you practice, experiment, and build concrete projects that reflect real industry needs.

… And Grow Your Soft Skills Too

Tech skills are essential — but they’re not enough on their own. Companies are looking for people who can collaborate, adapt, learn fast, and solve problems creatively.

That’s why, at BeCode, you’ll also develop key soft skills: teamwork, communication, project management, and learning how to learn. Every challenge becomes an opportunity to grow — both professionally and personally.
