A recognised TVET software engineering diploma can be a faster route if it\r\n              includes hands-on projects and internship exposure.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details class=\"eduvo-faq-item\">\r\n            <summary>How long does it take to become a software engineer in Malaysia? <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"eduvo-faq-content\">A traditional university degree usually takes 3 to 4 years. A practical TVET\r\n              diploma can take about 1 year, depending on the institution and curriculum. At Eduvo Academy, the\r\n              Professional Diploma in Software Engineering is designed as a 1-year pathway with real projects and\r\n              internship support.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details class=\"eduvo-faq-item\">\r\n            <summary>Can I become a software engineer without good SPM results? <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"eduvo-faq-content\">Yes. Poor SPM results do not automatically close the door to software\r\n              engineering. Eduvo Academy accepts students aged 16 and above without requiring strong SPM results, making\r\n              it suitable for students who want a practical route into IT after school.<\/div>\r\n          <\/details>\r\n          <details class=\"eduvo-faq-item\">\r\n            <summary>What programming language should I learn first in Malaysia? <i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"\r\n                aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/summary>\r\n            <div class=\"eduvo-faq-content\">Start with Python or JavaScript. Python is beginner-friendly and widely used\r\n              for automation, backend work and data tasks.
