The Internet is still at the cutting edge of ‘new media’ business. Expansion in global business online means there is an unprecedented demand for digital media talent in all sectors of today’s business
world.

The Web Design Certifi cate has been designed to position graduates at the leading edge of this technology and equips them with the skills and knowledge to tackle the web technology needs of today and the future.

The course starts with the basic building blocks of HTML development. It is aimed at both students who are complete beginners in this field and also those who have an in-depth knowledge of other technologies but need to update their current skill base in this cutting edge industry.

The course is ‘hands-on’ and uses student centred learning to complete projects that are geared toward industry. The groups are small and lead by a successful, practicing web designer.

Case history

“Before taking the Web Design course I set up a company to offer consultancy services in the area of online community building. I understood this well form a marketing pint of view, but had little technical knowledge of Website Design.

I chose the course because I thought it would help to fi ll that gap and allow me to communicate with web designers in a more informed way.

The course has thoroughly fulfi lled my needs and expectations. It gave me a thorough grounding in
website design, outlining many of the techniques available and emphasised which are the best. The way in which the subject is developing was also covered well; I was confi dent that I had been given up-to-date skills that would remain in use for a long time to come.

The tutor was amazing and friendly and managed to create a relaxed atmosphere, encouraging the small class to ask questions.

The course was extraordinarily good value for money. On an hourly basis it was a fraction of the cost of comparable courses. I can thoroughly recommend the course to anyone who wishes to enter the web design business with marketable skills and a portfolio - and have fun in the process.”
