- Common Questions
About the iCD software engineer course after A/L
Do I need to go to university to become a software engineer?
Not necessarily. iCD is a direct, practical alternative to a traditional degree path — four progressive levels plus 6 months of real industrial training, so you graduate with genuine project experience.
What will I actually learn in iCD?
Across four levels: programming fundamentals and databases, object-oriented development and web technologies, advanced API and enterprise development with Spring and Angular, and finally mobile, cloud, and agentic AI development using tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and n8n.
How much does the iCD program cost?
The full-time diploma is LKR 225,000, and the part-time diploma is LKR 200,000. Both offer an Early Bird one-time payment, a 20% discount one-time option, or a 3-part installment plan.
Is iCD available online or in person?
Both. iCD is available online, physically at iCET's Panadura campus, or in a hybrid format, supported by advanced virtual platforms and fully equipped labs.
