What this course develops
Develop core programming skills in C++ while learning why types, memory and program structure matter. The course combines logical problem-solving with the discipline of a compiled language.
Course content
C++ structure
Create, compile and run a basic program and understand the role of headers, main and statements.
Variables & data types
Work deliberately with integers, floating-point values, characters, booleans and strings.
Input, output & operators
Build interactive console programs and perform calculations.
Conditions
Use comparisons, if/else and switch-style decisions appropriately.
Loops
Solve repeated tasks with for and while loops.
Functions
Break a program into manageable reusable functions.
Arrays & introductory memory concepts
Store collections and begin understanding how C++ handles data in memory.
C++ coding project
Design, implement, test and explain a complete beginner program.
Learning outcomes
- Write, compile and run C++ programs.
- Use typed variables, conditions, loops and functions.
- Understand introductory arrays and memory concepts.
- Debug common syntax and logic errors.
- Complete a structured C++ programming project.
Teaching approach
Teaching is live and tutor-led. Concepts are explained, demonstrated and then applied through guided exercises. Learners are expected to make decisions, attempt tasks, test their work and discuss errors rather than simply watch a completed solution.
Delivery options
This course can be delivered online. In-person delivery can also be requested and is subject to location, tutor availability, programme scheduling and any equipment or venue requirements.
