Comprehensive Hardware Access
Our laboratory facility provides direct access to development hardware including multiple ARM development boards, JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes. Students work with actual embedded systems rather than only simulations, gaining experience with real hardware constraints and debugging challenges. Each student has dedicated workspace and equipment during laboratory sessions.
Small Cohort Model
We deliberately limit enrollment to ensure quality instruction and adequate resources. Maximum class sizes of twelve students allow instructors to provide personalized attention, detailed code reviews, and individualized guidance. This approach ensures each student receives the support needed to master complex technical material rather than being lost in large lecture halls.
Industry-Standard Toolchains
Learn using the same development environments employed by professional system programmers. We provide instruction in GCC, LLVM, GDB, Valgrind, QEMU, and commercial debugging tools. Students gain proficiency with build systems including Make, CMake, and modern alternatives. This preparation means graduates can immediately contribute to professional development teams without requiring additional tooling training.
Substantial Project Work
Each course centers on significant implementation projects that demonstrate mastery of core concepts. Operating system students build functioning kernels with memory management and process scheduling. Compiler students implement complete language frontends and code generators. Embedded systems students develop firmware for production hardware platforms. These projects provide portfolio pieces demonstrating genuine technical capability to potential employers.
Experienced Practitioner Instructors
Our technical staff brings extensive system development experience from both industry and research environments. Instructors have worked on production operating systems, commercial compilers, and embedded product development. They provide insights into real-world engineering challenges, design trade-offs, and professional development practices that extend beyond textbook knowledge.
Flexible Scheduling Options
We offer both intensive full-time programs and extended part-time schedules to accommodate working professionals. Evening and weekend laboratory sessions provide options for those maintaining employment while pursuing technical education. Course materials remain accessible after completion for ongoing reference in your development work.

CoreSystem vs Traditional Academic Programs
| Aspect | CoreSystem | Traditional Programs |
|---|---|---|
| Class Size | Maximum 12 students per cohort | Often 50-200 students per class |
| Instructor Access | Direct interaction with experienced practitioners | Limited access to professors, primarily teaching assistants |
| Laboratory Time | 50% of course time in hands-on labs | Typically 20-30% lab time, often scheduled separately |
| Hardware Access | Dedicated development boards and debugging tools | Shared equipment, often simulation-focused |
| Project Scope | Substantial implementations demonstrating mastery | Often simplified assignments with provided frameworks |
| Code Review | Detailed review of all implementations by instructors | Automated testing or limited feedback on style |
| Tool Training | Professional debuggers, profilers, and development environments | Basic tools, limited debugger instruction |
| Duration | Intensive 8-12 week programs | Semester or year-long courses with multiple subjects |
When Academic Programs Make Sense
Traditional university programs offer comprehensive computer science education covering theory, mathematics, and breadth across multiple domains. They provide excellent foundation for research careers and roles requiring deep theoretical understanding. The degree credentials remain valuable in many employment contexts.
CoreSystem programs complement rather than replace academic education. We serve experienced developers seeking specialized system programming skills, career changers with programming background pursuing system development roles, and professionals requiring specific technical capabilities for current projects. Our intensive format assumes programming proficiency and focuses specifically on system-level development.
What Sets CoreSystem Apart
CoreSystem occupies a distinct position in technical education by providing intensive, focused training specifically in system-level programming disciplines. While many educational programs touch on operating systems or compilers as survey topics within broader curricula, we concentrate exclusively on developing deep practical competence in these areas.
Our instructors bring current industry experience and remain actively engaged in system development work. This connection to professional practice ensures our curriculum reflects actual workplace requirements rather than only academic perspectives. Guest lectures from engineers at technology companies and startups provide additional insights into how system programming skills apply across different organizational contexts.
The laboratory-centered approach distinguishes our methodology from lecture-focused instruction. Students spend substantial time writing code, debugging implementations, and iterating on designs based on performance measurements and code review feedback. This mirrors professional development workflows and builds problem-solving capabilities that extend beyond memorized algorithms.
We maintain deliberate focus on fundamental concepts and implementation skills rather than chasing current framework trends. Understanding memory management, process scheduling, and code generation provides enduring knowledge applicable across technology shifts. Students develop capabilities to evaluate new tools and technologies critically rather than surface-level familiarity with specific products.
The Tokyo location provides access to's technology community while maintaining international perspective through English-language instruction. Our network includes connections with both domestic and international technology companies, providing students visibility into diverse career opportunities in system development.
