Apprenticeship as IT specialist for application development
(Kopie 1)
IT specialists with the subject area of application development understand and use programming languages like other foreign languages. With the help of these, they develop a wide range of in-house or customer-oriented software solutions - whether a company wants improvements in data management or needs a new content management system, such as Typo3, to maintain their website.
Consultations and cost analyses are also part of this job description. Consultations serve the purpose of finding out what is desired by customers or by the company itself: What functions should the software fulfil? What should the interface structure look like, etc.
It is also one of the tasks of the IT specialist for application development to test existing tools and, if necessary, to adapt and update them.
Content of the training
The in-company training takes place on the premises of the data processing centre as well as at the various locations of the FH Aachen.
