ASP.NET Core Development Course

ASP.NET Core is Microsoft’s open source, cross platform framework for building web applications and services, and it is the direct successor to ASP.NET. C# and .NET skills stay in strong demand across Australian development teams, from web and backend roles through to full stack and cloud work, so being able to build and ship ASP.NET Core applications is a practical, well paid capability rather than a passing trend.

At Logitrain the ASP.NET Core Development Course is delivered live in real time by an experienced trainer, in person in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane or live online across Australia. You keep the course material in digital format, full time courses include a mock test to check your progress, and the price beat guarantee means you will not find the same training cheaper elsewhere. There is no exam to sit, so you finish with a Certificate of Attendance and job ready skills.

There are no formal prerequisites for the ASP.NET Core Development Course. To get the most from it, you should be comfortable with basic programming concepts and have some experience with an object oriented language, ideally C#. If you are new to coding or to C#, start by building your fundamentals through our programming and coding courses, then return to this course to focus on ASP.NET Core.

There is no certification exam associated with this course.

The digital course material for the ASP.NET Core Development Course is included, mapped to the current course outline so you can revise each topic after class.

Got a team to train? Logitrain can deliver the ASP.NET Core Development Course in house at your premises anywhere in Australia, with the same trainer and course material as the public courses. It suits development teams who want everyone building on ASP.NET Core to the same standard, on dates that suit the business.

What is ASP.NET Core?

ASP.NET Core is Microsoft’s free, open source, cross platform framework for building web applications, services and APIs using C# and the .NET platform. It is the modern successor to ASP.NET and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Is there an ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core certification exam?

No. Microsoft retired the old ASP.NET MVC exam and the developer certification path, and there is no current Microsoft ASP.NET or ASP.NET Core certification. This course is a training course with a Certificate of Attendance, focused on practical, job ready skills.

Do I need programming experience before this course?

There are no formal prerequisites, but you will get the most from the course if you are comfortable with basic programming concepts and some object oriented programming, ideally in C#. If you are new to coding, build your fundamentals first through our programming and coding courses.

Does the course use ASP.NET Core or the older ASP.NET Framework?

The course teaches ASP.NET Core, the current cross platform framework, rather than the older ASP.NET Framework and Web Forms. You learn the tools and approach that development teams use today.

How long is the ASP.NET Core Development Course?

The course runs for three days full time. If you prefer to study alongside work, the part time option covers the same content over three weeks.

Where can I attend the ASP.NET Core Development Course?

You can attend in person in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, or join live online in real time anywhere in Australia. Every class is delivered live with a trainer.

Should I learn C# before ASP.NET Core?

It helps. ASP.NET Core is built on C#, so a working knowledge of the language makes the course easier to absorb. If you are new to C#, start with our programming and coding courses, then take this course to apply those skills to web development.
