Android developer course

Acadgild, the professional online training bootcamp has become one of Google's Authorised Training Partners (ATPs) for Android Developer Course. The course will help mobile app developers to prepare for Google's Associate Android Developers (AAD) Exam, an official certification, which is the industry benchmark for Android development skills. .

Android’s global market share is estimated to be around 84.82 per cent and this figure is only set to go up in the coming years. Given the exponential growth rate, a career in Android development seems to be the most sought after computer training course nowadays.

The Android Fundamentals Course is available through Acadgild’s instructor-led live and virtual classrooms. Google will certify the trainers as Authorised Android Trainers. Apart from this certification, Google will also share pertinent reference materials, conduct monthly check-in calls with the partner, provide one-time Train the Trainer session if needed, and list the ATP as a partner on their project website.

The individual trainers are expected to possess an Android Nano degree or equivalent industry experience and maintain a high level of quality. Google will likely carry out an audit during one of the sessions to assess the quality of the training programme. Once the course is completed, the candidates who are successful will be certified by AAD. Acadgild will also help in getting them placed in the mobile app industry through their partners. — TNS
