Coaching for software developers

How good can you really become?

From competent to excellent.

You want to get better, not just faster. ASE Coaching guides you 1:1, on your code, in your project.

01

What changes for you

Code you stand behind

Understand why your code works, not just that it does. Clean Code, TDD, and Refactoring as daily practice.

Solve problems, don't work around them

Design Patterns, Architecture, and creative problem-solving. For solutions that still work in two years.

Grow with your team, not alone

Communication, Code Reviews, Pair Programming. Because great software is never built alone.

02

From Foundation to Practitioner

You are met where you are. At your pace. On your projects.

Two programs, four levels, each an intensive coaching year. Competency starts with Foundation Level, and after each level you decide whether to continue. Experienced developers have a direct entry into Excellence.

About the Coaching Program

A tried-and-tested system, not trial and error.

You don't have to work out alone what works. ASE has guided developers on their own code since 2016, today with a team of experienced coaches. Here, three developers describe what came of it.

  • Martin Jonen SAP Software Engineer & Coach

    Thanks to the techniques and methodologies I learned, I can now develop software in a test-driven manner, which saves me a lot of time in debugging analysis and significantly reduces manual testing efforts.

    Martin started in 2019 as a coachee. Today he is an ASE Coach and SAP Champion himself.

  • Manuel Suarez Java Software Engineer / Tech Lead

    Through the coaching program, my ability to write readable and maintainable code has significantly improved, allowing me to create cleaner and more efficient projects.

  • Amin Ahmed Ali SAP Software Engineer

    Before this coaching, I didn't realize the importance and value of tests. Now, in all my development projects, I make an effort to include relevant and meaningful tests.

  • Over 90 Developers coached since 2016
  • 10 Companies since 2016
  • 4 Countries since 2016
  • Over 90% pass the certification since 2019
  • At least 60% of our certified developers with a step up in their career (e.g. technical team lead, management, own business) since each one's coaching began

Why ASE?

  • Damir Majer Founder and Head Coach, ASE Academy

    On your own, it takes years to find out how good you can become: trying things out, making mistakes, and learning again. I help you get there sooner. My goal is for you to become so good that you're among the top ten percent of developers in your company. Not through a course, but through guided practice on your own code. That is the path to mastery. I didn't walk it alone: my own coaches gave me a big boost. I pass that boost on to you.
