Course overview
Master object oriented techniques for better system design
In this three-day live virtual classroom OOAD course, you’ll gain the key techniques of object oriented analysis and design (OOAD). Using UML and detailed case studies, you’ll gain confidence in creating scalable designs aligned to real-world project requirements.
Learning objectives
- Capture system functions using use case models
- Visualise behaviour with activity and state diagrams
- Develop and test class structures
- Design relationships, generalisation and inheritance
- Map object behaviour using interaction diagrams
- Validate use case models with stakeholders to ensure alignment with business needs
- Produce deployment and system architecture models
- Use UML 2 to apply core OO principles
- Leverage UML tools to document analysis and design
What you’ll learn
Our Object Oriented Analysis and Design course teaches you skills in designing software systems through OO methods. You’ll use UML to model behaviour and structure, and develop architecture that meets stakeholder goals and project requirements.
Functional modelling with use cases
Begin by identifying system requirements using use cases, actors and flow modelling. You’ll create diagrams and descriptions to reflect real-world functionality and align design to user and business expectations.
Class structures and domain modelling
Learn how to define essential system components by building class models. You'll identify classes, attributes, and associations to create detailed domain models that support scalable and maintainable software structures.
Behavioural and state modelling
Explore how to model software behaviour using activity and state diagrams. You'll map transitions, events and exceptions to capture system dynamics and object lifecycle management in your design process.
Design implementation and deployment
Bring your designs to life with sequence and collaboration diagrams. Learn how to translate models into deployment structures, define system layers and organise packages for real-world implementation.

Key facts
Ideal for
Perfect for developers, analysts, designers and software engineers who want to strengthen their OO design skills and create effective UML-based system models.
Prerequisites
To benefit fully from this course, you should have experience with object-oriented programming in a language such as Python, Java or C++, including an understanding of classes, attributes and operations. If you're new to programming, we recommend starting with our Introduction to Programming course before progressing to OOAD.
Learning experience
With hands-on labs and expert guidance, you’ll start applying what you learn while still in the training environment – a practical, results-focused setting.
FAQs
ILX’s Object Oriented Analysis and Design course introduces the essentials of OO modelling through UML. You’ll learn to assess requirements, model structure and behaviours, and develop practical software designs that align with workplace challenges.
What’s the difference between object oriented analysis and design?
Object oriented analysis helps you understand user requirements by modelling system functionality, while design translates those models into a structured, workable solution. On this course, you’ll gain a clear grasp of both - learning how to identify what a system needs to do and how to design it effectively using UML techniques that support maintainability and scalability.
How does object oriented design improve software quality
OO design supports software quality by improving clarity, reusability, and maintainability. On this OOAD course, you’ll learn to apply OO principles and UML to reduce complexity, design cleaner systems, and create software that’s easier to maintain and adapt.
What tools will I use during the course?
You’ll use UML modelling tools provided in the virtual classroom to create use case diagrams, class models, activity diagrams and more. These tools help reinforce the techniques covered. You’ll practise using features such as drag-and-drop components and real-time editing to build and refine your models—ensuring you can apply what you’ve learned confidently in real-world projects.
Can I use this course to prepare for a UML certification?
Yes - while this course doesn’t lead to a formal qualification, it gives you a strong practical foundation in UML and O design. You’ll gain the skills and confidence to use UML in real projects, and can help you prepare for future certification or continued development in software design.
