          QUESTIONS? WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

          Knowing Java opens doors. Java ranked fourth for most popular programming languages in 2024 according to Tiobe Index. And the US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 10% growth in software developer jobs (which includes Java developers) by 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. This indicates a healthy job market for skilled Java developers in the US (and beyond). Employers put a premium on product managers, designers, marketers, and other professionals with the technical literacy and Java skills to collaborate effectively with development teams.
          Yes. When you pass this Java Short Course, you’ll receive a signed certificate of completion. Thousands of GA alumni use their course certificate to demonstrate skills to potential employers—including our hiring partners—along with their LinkedIn networks. Our Java Short Course is well-regarded by many top employers, who contribute to our curriculum and partner with us to train their own teams.
          Our Java Development Short Course is an intermediate course and typical learners already have one to two years of object-oriented programming experience in popular languages such as Java, Ruby, Python, or JavaScript. You should be comfortable with loops, conditional logic, control flow, data structures, functions, variables, data types, Git, and GitHub. You can expect to find developers who want to step up their game to learn other frameworks and languages.

          This course requires one to two years of object-oriented programming experience in popular languages such as Java, Ruby, Python, or JavaScript. You should be comfortable with loops, conditional logic, control flow, data structures, functions, variables, data types, Git, and GitHub.

          Our Admissions team can discuss your background and learning goals to advise if this Java Short Course is a good fit for you.

          Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA student:

          • A robust introduction to the fundamentals of Java and object-oriented programming.
          • The technical know-how to read and write object-oriented code, debug, and run unit tests to ensure proper behavior in your Java applications.
          • 40 hours of expert instruction from a professional developer, plus many more spent tackling homework, honing projects, and getting technical support during office hours.
          • Robust coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, project toolkits, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.
          • Individual feedback and guidance from instructors and teaching assistants. Stay motivated and make the most of your experience with the help of GA’s dedicated team.
          • Exclusive access to alumni discounts, networking events, and career workshops.
          • A GA course certificate to showcase your new skill set on LinkedIn.
          • Connections with a professional network of instructors and peers that lasts well beyond the course. The global GA community can help you navigate and succeed in the field. 
          We’re proud to offer numerous other directly connected courses, from other short courses like Python programming, React development, and JavaScript Development, to full-time career change focused tech bootcamps in software engineering and data science.
          Throughout the course, you’ll complete a number of smaller labs designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit. This course will teach you Java and help you prepare for the Oracle 1Z0-811 exam to become certified in Java.

          Yes. All of our short courses are designed for busy professionals with full-time work commitments. Depending on your location, classes meet twice per week in the evenings or all day on Saturday. If you’re able to dedicate a full week to learning, we also have a full-time, accelerated one-week option.

          You’ll be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.

          If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
