The Django & Django REST API – Job Ready Course is an advanced, industry-aligned online program designed for learners who want to become production-ready backend developers using Python, Django, and Django REST Framework (DRF). This course goes beyond basic tutorials and focuses on how Django is actually used in real companies, covering architecture decisions, scalability, performance, security, and deployment practices.

Conducted through online live classes, the program is suitable for students and professionals who already have basic Python knowledge and want to move into backend development roles. The course emphasizes real-world thinking—helping learners understand why certain architectural choices are made and how backend systems evolve from monoliths to microservices.
