Junior Developer Booster Training Programme
Designed by industry CTO’s to provide additional, real world, SDLC skills training to junior developers entering the workplace
*suitable for new graduates and apprentices
We’ve designed a focused 4 week training programme to help your junior developers (and other staff) deliver value faster.
Delivered via 4 full time weeks of expert instructor led training (e.g. Â 2 x 2 week modules), our programme helps to take the onboarding and training burden away from your in-house senior developers, who are already overloaded with critical tasks. We’ll enable you to turn your existing junior developer talent into enthusiastic, effective team members much quicker.
Engineering Managers have told us that they want a focus on people skills, agile and XP practices as well as software craftmanship to nurture a ‘build it, ship it, support it‘, DevOps style mindset.
We’ve listened! Our Booster [*ElevateTech Series] Programme launced in Spring 2024 and is already receiving rave customer reviews.

People Skills
Personal effectiveness, Radical Candour, Navigating conflict, Story telling. These aren’t soft skills, these are the behavioural and personal skills to navigate team interactions and communicate effectively.
Agile, Lean, XP and Flow
Agile isn’t dead. It’s a mindset of delivering value little and often, responding to feedback and continuously learning. We explore team values, minimising WIP, identifying bottlenecks and effective agile processes.
Software Craftmanship
TDD is more than just red, green refactor it’s about evolutionary, emerging architecture and doing exactly what is needed to fulfil the customer need.
Through our Pragmatic Programmer book club we instil the principles of YAGNI and clean code.
DevOps
Build it. Ship it. Support it. Secure it.
We introduce infrastructure-as-code, finding problems before your customers, incident management and security by design.
