Modular courses or short term courses focus on teaching specific skills while driving continuous learning. Broken into smaller units, they are short and targeted. Beginner or expert, game development or management, modular courses cater to all levels.
Graduates from such short term courses will have an in-depth understanding of the topic. And, the advantage for companies is that they can assess and hire an employee based on his/her skills. This will not only ensure a person’s potential but also their learning interest.
The training programs that take the modular route allows students to master one subject, at a time, and increases their chances of finding success.
For example, a ‘Big Data – Hadoop Developer’ course:
Conducted only on weekends, it spans for 4-8 weeks and 3-6 hours per day.
- Prerequisites: Java programming, RDBMS and SQL
- Learning: Concepts of the Hadoop framework, Spark SQL, Graphx and more
- Outcome: Learn a tool designed to handle big data
With set prerequisites and outcome, this short term course will train learners about the core features of the Hadoop ecosystem. Such focused training will make it easier for individuals to apply their understanding of the core applications of Hadoop in real business scenarios.
So, a Java developer can gain Big Data Analytics skills in a few weeks and apply it to improve his/her performance.
