Standard C Programming Course

About the Standard C Programming course

C is widely used in systems, embedded, and performance-sensitive environments.

The Standard C Programming course covers the core language constructs and programming techniques required to read, write, and maintain C programs. The course emphasises clear program structure, memory usage, and predictable code behaviour.

You will learn to write portable code that can be used across platforms and devices. This course also provides the necessary background for further work with C++.

Delegate feedback

Feedback from delegates attending this course:

I enjoyed the lessons and found that the freedom to interact spontaneously with the lecturer was an added advantage. The lecturer was helpful in filling in some background information that I lacked as a requirement to process new information. I am grateful for the continued assistance in the form of course notes and links to internet platforms.

DetNet Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
The course was extremely interesting. It filled all the gaps in my knowledge that I had before coming to the course. The lecturer is very knowledgeable in his field and it was a pleasure to learn from him.

J. Prinsloo

Nanoteq Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
The best course I have been on in years. Renier is passionate about his subject and really has a need to impart his knowledge. He makes sure that concepts are understood and practised.

A. Hendricks

ABSA Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Really enjoyed the course. It was useful and I will apply most of the things I have learned. It was really worth it!

J. Gumede

Schauenburg Systems Lecturer: Renier Virtual Training
I recently attended a C programming course taught by Renier van Wyk and I must say it was an incredibly positive experience. Renier is a knowledgeable and experienced instructor who was able to make the material both accessible and engaging. His teaching style is clear and concise, making it easy to understand the complex concepts of C programming. He also provided ample opportunities for hands-on learning through coding exercises and projects, which allowed me to solidify my understanding of the material. Overall, I would highly recommend Renier van Wyk for anyone looking to learn C programming. He is a fantastic instructor who is dedicated to helping his students succeed.

Flanders Lecturer: Renier Virtual training
Renier made me look forward to every new day of the course! His knowledge of the C language and computers in general is unsurpassed. His witty, friendly character made him approachable and also very likeable. Taking the course virtually was surprisingly favourable; it was easy to follow the code, and notes on screen while sitting in the comfort of my home. I learnt a great deal in just a week and would definitely  recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a good programmer.
