Who it is for

Beginners and students who want a solid foundation in Java for jobs and for backend frameworks such as Spring.

Before you start

A computer that can install the JDK 21 (free OpenJDK builds such as Temurin) and an editor such as IntelliJ IDEA Community or VS Code. No programming experience is required; the first lessons start from zero.

How you finish

Pass the quizzes, complete the labs and submit your capstone. Everything is checked as you go and your certificate is issued the moment you finish.

What you will be able to do

  1. 01Write, compile and run Java programs using variables, control flow, methods and arrays
  2. 02Design programs with classes, encapsulation, inheritance, interfaces, records and enums
  3. 03Use collections, generics, lambdas and streams confidently
  4. 04Handle errors with exceptions, read and write files and test code with JUnit 5
  5. 05Build, test and document a Maven project and a complete console application

Before you enrol

Quick answers.

The policies have the full detail.

Is this a real internship?

It is a virtual internship programme: a structured, self-paced course built around a real project, with checked assessments and a certificate. It is not employment, it does not carry a stipend and it is not an academic or AICTE-approved qualification. What it gives you is verified, project-based evidence of skills.

How does self-paced work?

You start when you like and move at your own speed. Each part unlocks when you finish the one before it. There are no live classes and no deadlines. Your access is shown on each programme page.

How is my work checked?

Quizzes are marked as soon as you submit them. Labs use a tick-list of tasks. Intermediate and Expert programmes finish with a capstone that the NIBVEDA team reviews and either accepts or sends back with comments.

Can I get a refund?

Please read the refund policy before you buy. It explains when a refund is possible.
