The route, step by step
- Start here
Python — Beginner
Programming fundamentals in Python, from zero.
Portfolio Project: Shop sales tracker
How it is checked: Portfolio project output: Working tested software application with source code and technical README. Completion is subject to the course-specific proposed policy below; practical evidence is mandatory. Rubric focus: Code quality, security, testing and demonstration. Institute certificate only; external/vendor certification separate. Independent final check: The supplied file and script run verbatim: the valid pen row contributes 30, the invalid quantity is reported, and missing headers are diagnosed. Proposed completion: 70% overall and 70% in the portfolio practical; critical accuracy, permission and privacy failures require correction and observed reassessment. This policy needs academic approval before use for awards.

Frontend Development with AI
Responsive, accessible web interfaces with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Portfolio Project: Local services finder: an accessible, tested and deployed React app
How it is checked: Portfolio project output: Working tested software application with source code and technical README. Suggested passing criteria: 70% suggested (60% for entry foundation / short interventions); practical evidence mandatory. Rubric focus: Code quality, security, testing and demonstration. Institute certificate only; external/vendor certification separate.
- Then
Python Full Stack + GenAI
One coherent back-end stack, databases, APIs and a GenAI feature in a portfolio application.
Portfolio Project: Learner support application with a grounded assistant
How it is checked: Portfolio project output: Working tested software application with source code and technical README. Completion is subject to the course-specific proposed policy below; practical evidence is mandatory. Rubric focus: Code quality, security, testing and demonstration. Institute certificate only; external/vendor certification separate. Independent final check: Learner changes an unseen requirement, passes cross-user tests and demonstrates grounded answers plus unsupported-question fallback. Proposed completion: 70% overall and 70% in the portfolio practical; critical accuracy, permission and privacy failures require correction and observed reassessment. This policy needs academic approval before use for awards.
- Optional
Software Job Readiness & Interview Training
Interview preparation and job-search practice once you have projects to show.
Portfolio Project: Reviewed software portfolio and interview readiness pack
How it is checked: Portfolio project output: Reviewed software portfolio, six mock interviews and interview tracker. Completion is subject to the course-specific proposed policy below; practical evidence is mandatory. Rubric focus: Code review + job-readiness rubric. Institute certificate only; external/vendor certification separate. Independent final check: The query returns two separate Ravi customers and Anu with zero spend; the portfolio contains three reviewed PRs and six scored mock records. Proposed completion: 70% overall and 70% in the portfolio practical; critical accuracy, permission and privacy failures require correction and observed reassessment. This policy needs academic approval before use for awards.
Certificate
ADIVAS issues an institute certificate for each programme when its requirements are met: the course weeks, the graded quizzes and, where recorded, attendance. It is an ADIVAS certificate, not an external or vendor qualification, and anyone can check it with its code.
Career support
Placement assistance for college and working learners: resume builder, AI mock-interview practice, Skill Passport and openings shared with ADIVAS.
We prepare you for employment; we do not guarantee employment.
