The NEMIKU Academy
NEMIKU has operated its award winning Academy Programme for over 9 years and helped over 1500 individuals to become highly skilled, accredited technical consultants. The Academy is NEMIKU's apprenticeship programme that indentifies those graduates who are suitable to join NEMIKU and work with our customers once they have acquired the relevant skills.
The ACADEMY
Following a rigorous candidate application process ACADEMECIES undertake comprehensive training over a 2-4 month period in our unique Campus Academy. Here they learn specialist IT skills including UNIX, Oracle, SQL and other key technologies. Students then follow a path in either Testing, Finance or Development, with Developers opting for a Java EE or .Net route.
On completion of the training, our students sit exams with the relevant industry body. For the developer streams either Sun Certified Java Programmer ("SCJP") or Microsoft Certified Application Developer ("MCAD") qualifications are obtained.
Testers are certified by the International Software Testing Qualifications Board ("ISTQB"), while Finance Analysts sit exams with the Securities and Investment Institute.
On completion of the training, our ACADEMECIES became permanent NEMIKU IT employees on a full-time two year employment contract.
