This is a one-year level 5 diploma or the first year exit qualification of our two-year level 6 software development diploma.
If you are wanting flexible study, our course requires 2-days a week in class with the additional option of one-on-one tutorial available when needed; this allows you to do self-directed study and part-time work.
This course is designed for those wishing to start their own web design business, want to work within an established organisation or up-skill their own level of understanding of web design. The programme takes you from determining client needs to choosing a CMS, utilising databases, designing the user experience and configuring a website.
The year focuses on the languages used behind most websites today, PHP, SQL and JavaScript and developed within a responsive framework, which can render to all devices. The final project will require you to design, a fully functional website that integrates a database for collecting and outputting information with front-end and back-end capabilities. This includes a user to login and logout with different access rights, per user, and have all forms validated for errors.
N.B. $2,000 scholarships (available to students aged 25 to 35 only)
