Professional Certificate in Tech Fundamentals

Coding Fundamentals for Business Professionals is a brand new course aimed at entrepreneurs and traditional practitioners in the areas of marketing, project management, HR and finance. This course will teach you how to speak the language of coding, without actually having to learn to code, in order to better communicate with I.T. staff. As a result, projects will be delivered on time and in budget thanks to having a greater understanding of the processes and requirements involved at the outset.

At the end of this course you will have the ability to effectively plan and communicate all of the digital elements of their projects. By knowing the capabilities and skills involved, you will be equipped to handle all of a client's queries at the outset of a project, plan accordingly, and then communicate the requirements to your development team in a language they can understand. You will learn how different programming languages interact, and the function of each. Utilizing this knowledge will allow you to become an innovator on the digital elements of projects and have a greater input. Finally, you will learn how to empower and build great digital teams.
