Program Overview
Full-time Program - Attestation d’Études Collégiales (AEC) LEA.BN
The Full Stack Developer full-time credit program leads to an Attestation of College Studies (A.E.C.). As artificial intelligence reshapes how software is designed, built, and maintained, the role of the Full Stack Developer is evolving—and the Full Stack Developer program at John Abbott College Continuing Education is designed for this new reality.
The program prepares students for entry‑level Full Stack Developer roles and junior software development roles across a broad range of industries. Graduates gain experience building, testing, and maintaining full stack applications – from backend logic and APIs to user‑facing interfaces and modern deployment environments. A strong emphasis is placed on core programming and software development fundamentals, ensuring graduates have the solid technical foundation employers expect.
These fundamentals are then intentionally enhanced through a structured, progressive integration of AI‑assisted tools and methodologies. Students learn when and how to leverage AI effectively – after mastering the basics – mirroring real‑world professional practice. This tool‑agnostic, future‑ready approach ensures graduates are not tied to a single platform or technology. Instead, they leave with the confidence to adapt as tools evolve, collaborate within modern development teams, and contribute responsibly in today’s AI‑enabled workplaces.
