Programming could be compared to composing. Some are naturals at it, others learn it through studying. Either way, there is a lot of coding involved. AMKoodari is a training programme for everyone who would like to study a new profession, update their existing skill sets, change careers or otherwise learn new skills through their innate creativity.
AMKoodari is a great starting point for those who dream of becoming professional programmers, but the courses can also be taken by people looking to supplement their existing coding skills or change careers. It can also be used as employee training by companies. You can study full-time or on the side while you work. The training is geared towards people of all levels other than current university degree programme students.
The universities of applied sciences providing the training are responsible partners with plenty of experience in working together with companies and organisations. The universities are located in the capital region, Uusimaa, Häme, Southern Pirkanmaa, South-Eastern Finland and Southern Savonia. The courses are primarily online, meaning you can study them regardless of time and location, both in Finland and from abroad.
We are happy to discuss about tailored courses with companies.
