OCBT Campus promotes software engineering program

OCBT Campus one of the foremost professional higher education institutions in Sri Lanka, now accepts applications for its software engineering program that provides the opportunity for students to enrol for the final year of information technology degree program in Sri Lanka, UK or Australia.  

Those who have, two passes at the G.C.E. A/L examination or G.C.E. O/L examination with a recognised diploma can enter to this program.

However, the students who do not have a reputable diploma can obtain it through OCBT in a short period of time at a minimal cost.

According to OCBT Chief Executive Prasanna Aluthge, students who complete the Software Engineering program will be able to obtain employment as a software engineer within a short period of time of one year.  

While they are thus employed, they can either register for the final year of the locally and internationally accepted bachelors of Information Technology Degree program of the University of Colombo and complete the degree or enter for the final year of an IT degree program, at a university in the UK or Australia and complete that degree program in Sri Lanka or overseas.

Accordingly, students of the OCBT Software Engineering program will be entitled for an information technology degree from a local or an overseas university and they will have at least one year on the job experience in the software development professional field when they complete the degree, paving the way for them to obtain highly paid employment in an accepted company in the information technology field thereafter.

Aluthge stressed that every student of this program will get the opportunity of training in a software development environment in Sri Lanka and equip with the necessary skill set at the end of the program which is really important to apply especially for overseas jobs.

OCBT Campus has also prepared program to impart the required knowledge of the English language and obtain the necessary certificates with international acceptance for the students who are expecting to complete the degree program in an overseas university after two years.  

The course fees are very competitive and provisions have been made to make the payments in monthly instalments.  

Educational loans have been facilitated with leading banks in the country for students with financial difficulties.  

As highly paid employment opportunities are amply available in the computer software field, the money spent on two years of education can be recovered from two or three months salary after becoming an information technology professional.  

Accordingly, the software engineering course of OCBT Campus is an extremely valuable investment for the future.   

The contents of the computer software engineering course introduced by OCBT Campus have been prepared to suit the future international employment market, and are constantly being updated according to timely needs.  

In this course, students will be given the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical training in Android development, Java, PHP and .Net and at the conclusion of the program students will be made to sit for examinations such as Microsoft, Oracle and Zend, that issue internationally accepted professional certificates.  

Accordingly, after three years from the beginning of the course, every student will be proud possessors of Java, PHP and .Net professional certificates with one or more years work experience in the relevant domains.
