The FPT-UBD Innovation Lab training program is an intensive sixteen weeks full-time and part-time software development training supported by FPT, the largest IT enterprise in Vietnam.

The training will start from enhancing fundamental software development concepts and progress to intermediate and specialized skills through various projects. Finally, the participants will be involved in a major group project.

The program caters for prospective participants with different levels of experience in programming. Depending on the level of experience in programming, each participant will follow a different course of training and attain different levels of achievement.

A participant started with no prior programming experience will gain the skills in programming and learn to develop basic web or mobile application. A participant started with intermediate programming experience will gain the skills in using the latest technologies to take part in the development of full-fledged software from real clients. For a participant started with advance programming experience, he/she will gain the experience of working in a simulated environment in the software industry to lead junior developers and interact with clients to offer solutions to the clients.
