ANDROID TRAINING IN NEPAL

HOW ANDROID TRAINING COURSE IS DESIGNED?

IT Training Nepal firmly believe that static syllabus and traditional teaching approach has no value for job oriented and professional Android training. To address this, we regularly conduct researches, seminars among professional Android developers and students and seek expert advice on latest trends and developments in mobile application platform. Based on the conclusion from academicians and industry experts , we design or update our syllabus to meet current industry practices and requirement in Android development platform.

The Android training course is divided into following components:

• Java
• Android Basics
• XML
• Application development

Please see the syllabus section below to find detailed topics incorporated by our computer institute for Android application development training. This course can be tailored to meet your specific demands as well. Please contact the counselor at the computer institute about specific training needs. We assure you that after taking our training you will acknowlege us among the best android training institute in Kathmandu.

HOW WE CONDUCT ANDROID TRAINING?

Android development uses high level programming language and the application programming index is sometime too large and too complex to understand. Therefore, our pedagogy uses practical, hands-on approach. The two hour class is divided into two parts; one hour for instructional and one hour for practical section. Students are provided with extensive number of hands-on exercises to better their understanding of the concepts and practical examples and to make them familiar with real time working scenarios. In addition, weekly tests and revision are conducted by the institute to ensure students learning level are up to desired level.

We normally enroll about 5 or 6 students per group, which we believe, will facilitate students with ample attention from instructor and speed up their learning.

The module based syllabus ensures that student develop adequate knowledge and skills before moving to higher levels in Android application development. And, the project work done at the completion of instructional period ensures students have gained sufficient as well as adequate professional skills. Only then we authorize the completion of Android development training program at our computer institute.

OBJECTIVES

The main aim of Android development course is to make student able to develop their own Android application. During this course, students will develop an application which they will run successfully on the Android Device or emulator.
