Learning to program: key skills for the digital future

In our rapidly developing digital world, almost all areas of life are influenced by software. Last but not least, software solutions and web applications make the successful implementation of digitalization possible in the first place.

As a result, programming skills are becoming increasingly important - not only for IT specialists, but also for many professionals in other occupational fields. Whether as a project worker, digital nomad or creative mind - with technology skills and the ability to write code, you are well positioned in the working world of today and tomorrow.

Further training in programming is an excellent basis for anyone who wants to get started in IT. We offer courses for different levels. Both beginners and advanced learners will find a suitable programming course at GFN.

The demand for programmers is high. After completing our certified courses, you will have a wide range of jobs in various industries: Industry, app and AI development, website programming and many other areas are looking for well-trained developers.

Programming is about breaking down tasks into small, simple steps that can then be written into code. You need to understand how these small pieces fit together so that you can put them back together correctly.

What prerequisites do I need for a programming course?

To learn programming, you need an understanding of logical relationships. Good problem-solving skills are also an advantage.

Programming is also about creativity: you have to come up with new ideas and solutions to problems. Sometimes you're stuck on a problem for hours or days before it finally works. Once you get started, programming is a lot of fun because there are always new challenges to solve.

If you enjoy learning new things, are patient, a team player and communicative, you will certainly enjoy programming.

Software development or web development - which direction should it take?

No matter which area of programming you specialize in, you have excellent opportunities on the job market in both software and web development.

Would you prefer to develop applications for servers and computers or apps for smartphones? Then the field of software development is suitable for you. The programming languages Java and Python as well as the object-oriented programming paradigm are very common here.

If you want to work on web technologies such as websites, software-as-a-service (SaaS) projects or web applications instead, web development is the right choice. Web developers work with the programming languages HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript and numerous JavaScript frameworks such as jQuery, Node.js and ReactJS.

As a beginner, you can also start with a basic course. In this course, you will learn the basics of programming, which you can expand on as required.

Do you have questions about our programming courses? We will be happy to answer them.

Yes, learning to program is still useful - perhaps even more so than ever. Although there are now tools that automatically generate or simplify code, they are no substitute for in-depth programming knowledge. On the contrary: those who understand how code works can use such tools in a targeted and critical manner, recognize errors and implement complex requirements that go beyond simple automation.

The IT sector in particular requires specialists who not only operate tools, but also understand what happens in the background. A programming course gives you exactly this understanding - practical, application-oriented and with a clear goal: to make you fit for the job market.

Technologies are changing - but the ability to understand them, develop them further and use them sensibly remains one of the most important skills of the future.

According to StepStone, the average annual gross salary as a programmer in Germany is around €47,400, which corresponds to around €3,950 per month. The average starting salary is €45,000.

If you enter the profession through further training, your salary may initially be lower than that of university graduates. However, with increasing professional experience and specialization, your salary prospects increase significantly - regardless of your educational background. As a graduate of a vocational training program, you have a decisive advantage: a high level of practical relevance. Employers really appreciate it when you can immediately apply your knowledge to projects.

According to StepStone, typical starting salaries by programming language are:

  • Python: approx. 43,200 € to 50,600 € gross per year
  • Java: approx. 4,000 € to 52,000 €, depending on region and experience
  • PHP: approx. 34,800 € to 44,200 €, with development potential as experience grows

Our programming training courses have a modular structure. You can book and combine the modules as a complete course or individually. The total duration therefore depends entirely on your individual needs.

For example, if you do not yet have any programming skills, you can start with the one-month basic course and then decide on one or more courses in web development or software development, depending on your interests and career goals. Each course lasts between one and three months.

Yes, in principle you can teach yourself programming - there are many free learning opportunities available on the internet. However, learning on your own means that you have to create a structure for yourself, select suitable content and persevere without direct support. This is often a challenge, especially at the beginning.

Further training, on the other hand, offers you a clear learning plan, experienced lecturers, practical exercises and the opportunity to clarify questions directly. Perhaps the most important advantage: you can acquire recognized, job role-specific certificates. Such certificates are in high demand, especially for lateral entry into IT professions. They prove your skills and make it easier for you to get into the job.

So if you are serious about getting into a programming profession, structured further training with a certificate is often the more effective and sustainable way.

Yes, in 3 months you can definitely acquire basic programming skills that you can build on. In continuing education courses in particular, the focus is on practical learning - you work directly with real tools and tasks, which makes it easier for you to get into the job.

In the 3-month JavaScript training course at GFN, you will learn how to develop interactive web applications for online stores or company websites, for example. You will work with JavaScript and TypeScript, design modern user interfaces and be specifically prepared for the Certified JavaScript/TypeScript Frontend Developer qualification.

In the 2-month Python advanced training course, you will even acquire two internationally recognized certificates: PCEP (Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer) and PCAP (Certified Associate in Python Programming). You will learn basic and advanced programming concepts, including control structures, data structures, object-oriented programming and how to use the standard library.

Even if you are not yet a Senior Developer after three months, you will have a solid foundation that you can use to develop your skills and take your first professional steps in IT.
