English Delivery Only: Object Oriented Analysis & Design

Who will the Course Benefit?

The Object Oriented Analysis & Design course is aimed at staff and consultants working as part of a development team using OO techniques to develop quality software including Business and System Analysts,Solution Architects,Programmers,Designers,Subject Matter Experts,Project Managers and anyone who needs a good understanding of the use of Object Oriented Analysis and Design within software development.

This course is particularly beneficial for those using Object Oriented development languages such as Java,Python,C++,Visual Basic and Ruby.
