The course builds on the soft skills developed in Agency 1, but now with more advanced front- end development tools and techniques including JavaScript Frameworks. Students work in sprints to experience the working life of a developer and provides a more grounded and realistic understanding of the daily workflow of a developer. The course provides opportunities for students to consolidate what they’ve learned but also to explore the world of front-end development further.
Course Relevance
The Agency course offers a highly relevant learning experience by immersing students in real- world or near-real-world scenarios. Through these practical projects, students gain firsthand experience of encountering diverse stacks, frameworks, tools, and problems, fostering their adaptability and problem-solving skills. They learn to effectively apply their existing knowledge and adapt it to new contexts, enabling them to navigate different technologies and environments with confidence. Additionally, this experiential approach enhances their appreciation of the value of reading and creating documentation, emphasizing the importance of clear and comprehensive communication within development teams. By engaging with these real-world scenarios, students develop a well-rounded understanding of the ever-evolving nature of development and the skills needed to succeed in a dynamic and demanding industry.

Digital Learning Resources
The learning management system (LMS) is the primary learning platform where students access most of their course materials. The content is presented in various formats, such as text, images, models, videos or podcasts. Each course follows a progression plan, designed to lead students through weekly modules at their own pace. Exercises and assignments (individual or in groups) are embedded throughout the courses to support continuous practice and assessment of the learning outcomes.
Campus Resources
In addition to the digital learning resources, campus students participate in physical learning activities led by teachers as part of the overall delivery.
Guidance
Guidance and feedback from teachers support students' learning journeys, and may be provided synchronously or asynchronously, individually or in groups, via text, video or in-person feedback.
