This course focuses on the design issues associated with enterprise software applications, especially interactive, data-intensive applications. The course touches on all aspects of design, including the user interface, data and component design, procedure design, and design for controls and security. The main design approach taken is based on object-orientated systems described by UML and other techniques. There is however a brief review of structured systems analysis and design models and techniques. The design techniques utilised are technology and product agnostic.
This course is suitable preparation for delegates wishing to take the BCS Certificate in Systems Design Techniques.

- Those wishing to attain the BCS Certificate in Systems Design Techniques
Additional Information
If you are taking a BCS exam you must bring photographic identification with you (passport, driving license or student card), as it is a BCS requirement to produce it for the invigilator prior to the exam. Failure to produce a valid form of photographic identification will result in a candidate not being able to sit the exam. For any questions about what form of identification is acceptable please contact your Account Manager.
Following your exam you will be sent an email from BCS asking you to register. Once you have registered and your exam results become available then you will be able to log back into your account and view your results.
