WSQ – Application Development (SF) (Synchronous and Asynchronous -e-learning)
The Application development course aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills in creating simple apps to be deployed. Students will learn how to design the interface for their apps and store and manipulate data, have logic sequences, and making-decision (logic) as well as mobile features. Students will also learn how to automate processes in application logic. Learners will be able to familiarize themselves with creating apps, create and design UI and layout, analyse the Logics in-app, use techniques for storing information and data, use appropriate methods decision-making in apps by applying the steps for automation in apps deployment. Furthermore, learners will be able to plan the application development process, program applications, and secure features, applying suitable debugging techniques to resolve complex errors.

This course is specifically designed to develop learners' professional skills and capabilities in designing and conducting data studies to drive organisational decisions and insights. It aims to equip learners with skills to conduct organisational data collection, preparation, analysis, and data analytics capability by improving business performance criteria and data design for organizational processes. Learners will be able to uncover actionable comprehensions from data and identify opportunities within their respective departments or organisation where data can be influenced. The Synchronous and Asynchronous mode, as well as face-to-face strategies, will provide learners to be able to on time-based practical assignments, quizzes, and forums for discussions.
