Overview

The Instil Graduate Academy is designed to rapidly prepare graduates (and interns) for life as a software developer. Built around a core of engineering essentials and practical course-work, each academy focuses on the skills and disciplines that will ready your people for developing great software as part of a team.

Out of the box, the academy is delivered as a mix of collaborative project work interspersed with pinpoint training on cloud basics, front-end development, engineering principles and agile development. Heavy emphasis is also placed on baseline best-practices such as clean code, testing, security, data structures, and problem-solving.

But of course, everyone's mileage will vary, so how you configure the academy will depend on your context. Do your graduates have prior computing experience? What timescales are you working too? Can you intersperse project work with training (our recommended approach), or do you only have a few weeks to fit everything in?

Whatever your circumstances, we can advise, guide and deliver an academy that will help set your graduates in the right direction.

“I would love to do more courses with Instil”

I really enjoyed the course and learned a lot, I also think my skills improved. The trainer is a very good instructor. I would love to do more courses with Instil.

“It is hard to find issues because this course was so good!”

The course was very practical which was great. This helped learning and overall enjoyment. The time management was good,coffee breaks were the right length and they were thrown in at good times. The time spent on each topic was just right, not too short, not too long. We learnt a lot in the time that we had. The trainers were awesome and friendly. It is hard to find issues because this course was so good!

“Liked the balance between demonstration and exercises”

I really liked the balance between demonstration and exercises. The trainer's explanations were concise and at an understandable level. I appreciated their workaround issues faced, such as our z-scaler. Although the material was new and syntactically difficult, I have come out of this training with a decent knowledge of how it is applied and its usefulness.
