# AI Software Engineering Bootcamp Online

Canonical URL: <https://vdci.edu/certificates/ai-software-engineering-certificate-program>

## Overview

This program prepares students for entry-level roles as AI-Assisted Software Developers and Junior Software Engineers in just three months. Students progress from foundational full-stack web development into production-level engineering, building real skills in modern development environments, version control, testing, and API and database design. From the start, AI-assisted tools are woven into the workflow, so students learn not only how to write clean, maintainable code but how to use AI to build, debug, and improve applications the way today's engineering teams actually do.

The curriculum also covers the practices that define professional software engineering, including secure development, continuous integration and deployment, systems-level thinking, and software architecture. Learning happens through hands-on labs, pair programming, and code reviews, and culminates in a team-based capstone where students design, build, deploy, and present a production-ready application. Graduates leave with a strong portfolio, real collaborative experience, and career support that prepares them to contribute to an engineering team from day one.
