Flagship Programme
Professional Full-Stack Software Engineering — Six months of live formation in professional full-stack software engineering — building production-ready applications with modern architecture, collaborative delivery, AI-assisted workflows, and deployment to production.
The Six-Month Professional Full-Stack Software Engineering Programme is Wells Tech Academy's flagship formation pathway — instructor-led, assessed, and designed for adults building production-ready full-stack AI applications.
Progressive formation in modern application architecture: professional backend engineering, authentication, databases with Supabase and Neon, REST APIs, GitHub workflow, Cursor AI engineering practice, Vercel deployment, and capstone delivery — each stage held to published standards.
This programme teaches software engineering in the AI era. It does not teach machine learning, deep learning, model training, data science, LLM fine-tuning, or MLOps research.
Every cohort is guided by practitioners. Every project produces evidence. Every graduate leaves with deployable work and the discipline to continue growing beyond the programme.
Whether you arrive from warehouse, care, retail, or administration, the expectation is the same: professional responsibility, sustained effort, and earned completion.

Professional Identity
Graduates develop demonstrated engineering capability — not surface familiarity with tools. Completion means you can practise software engineering with discipline and evidence.
01
Designing software systems with clear architecture and intentional structure.
02
Building production-ready full-stack applications using contemporary frameworks and professional workflows.
03
Working within engineering environments — version control, code review, testing discipline, and iterative delivery.
04
Deploying applications to cloud infrastructure with environment configuration and pipeline automation.
05
Collaborating through Git with the habits expected of professional teams.
06
Applying AI-assisted engineering responsibly within daily practice.
07
Presenting technical work through portfolio, case study, and Graduate Exhibition.
Graduation Standard
Completion at Wells Tech Academy is earned through demonstrated professional capability rather than course attendance alone. This standard applies across all Wells programmes — capability is verified against published evidence, not assumed from enrolment.
The Six-Month Professional Full-Stack Software Engineering Programme is assessed against the following evidence pillars.
01
Development environment proficiency, programming fundamentals, version control discipline, and professional coding standards — evidenced through reviewed repository work and successful completion of the Stage I foundations checkpoint.
02
Full-stack capability across modern frameworks, APIs, databases, and authentication — evidenced through an integrated application with tested critical paths and documented engineering decisions.
03
Production deployment capability including cloud infrastructure, environment configuration, CI/CD, and operational documentation — evidenced through a live, accessible application.
04
Portfolio presentation, technical communication, studio collaboration, capstone delivery, and Graduate Exhibition participation — evidenced through deployed artefacts, case studies, and assessed presentation to professional standard.
The Six-Month Professional Full-Stack Software Engineering Programme is CPD accredited. Accreditation situates the programme within the United Kingdom's continuing professional development framework — where structured learning, evidence, and assessed completion matter.
CPD accreditation is independent recognition that a programme delivers structured professional development to a published standard. Accredited programmes are reviewed for learning design, delivery quality, assessment, and the clarity of outcomes learners can expect.
Wells sought CPD accreditation because the Six-Month Professional Full-Stack Software Engineering Programme is designed as professional formation — live instruction, engineering projects, code review, and assessment against the Graduation Standard. Accreditation aligns the programme with how employers and professionals understand structured development in the United Kingdom.
Graduates who complete the programme against the published Graduation Standard receive the Wells graduation certificate and a CPD Accredited Certificate confirming accredited continuing professional development. Both credentials are subject to successful completion — not enrolment alone.
CPD recognition follows demonstrated completion of programme requirements — deployable artefacts, assessed milestones, and Graduate Exhibition participation verified against the Graduation Standard. The accredited certificate records structured professional development completed through the programme.
Employers value evidence that a candidate has completed structured professional development — particularly where learning was live, assessed, and tied to deployable work. CPD accreditation signals that the programme was externally reviewed; the graduate portfolio demonstrates individual capability.
Graduation remains earned against the published Graduation Standard. CPD recognition follows successful completion — it is not awarded for attendance alone.
