Overview

Develop your cloud application skills with the London School of Emerging Technology (LSET). This classroom-based Java Serverless Developer course explores how to build and deploy event-driven, microservice-based applications on AWS using Java.

Training takes place at 1 Cornhill, London, and combines guided practical sessions, hands-on coding, assignments and project-based learning. Learners work with AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, DynamoDB and other AWS services to develop serverless applications.

What You Will Learn
  • Write, deploy and debug Java Lambda functions using Java 17/21.
  • Explore the Lambda execution lifecycle, cold starts and SnapStart optimisation.
  • Build REST and HTTP APIs with Amazon API Gateway.
  • Develop event-driven systems using Amazon EventBridge and SQS.
  • Work with DynamoDB and explore serverless database patterns.
  • Apply security controls using IAM, Amazon Cognito and AWS Secrets Manager.
  • Use structured logging, AWS X-Ray and Amazon CloudWatch for observability.
  • Coordinate workflows with AWS Step Functions.
  • Explore infrastructure as code, automated testing and deployment pipelines.
Practical Learning and Assessment

LSET uses hands-on sessions, interactive teaching and industry mentor support. Practical activities include creating APIs, building a data access layer, securing endpoints and developing serverless workflows.

The published evaluation criteria include 18 coding exercises, 5 assignments, 5 quizzes, a capstone project, group activities and presentations.

This course is intended for learners with prior knowledge of Java and web technologies who want to develop their serverless application development skills.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
