C++ Essentials – Part 1 (Basics)

You can get ready for the CPE (C++ Certified Entry-Level Programmer) and CPA (C++ Certified Associate Programmer) tests by taking the C++ Essentials – Part 1 (BASICS) course.

The course introduces the fundamentals of C++ programming and touches on the vocabulary, conventions, and practices of basic programming, including the most popular library functions.

The course’s objectives are to acquaint students with the fundamentals of computer programming and developer tools, to introduce them to the syntax, semantics, and data types that a language has to offer, and to empower them to create their own programs using standard language infrastructure regardless of the hardware or software platform.

Pre-requisite

No pre-requisites ‒ the course is designed for absolute beginners. No prior knowledge of programming is required.

Prepare for Careers

Having completed the course, you will be prepared to attempt the qualification CPE ‒ C++ Certified Entry-Level Programmer certification. The C++ language is the absolute essential for entry-level and software development jobs.
