Web Development – Certificate
Program Details
Certificate in Web Development
Overview
Program Summary
The Web Development Program prepares students with skills and knowledge required to start a career as a full stack web application developer. Student will learn how coding skills and agile web development business practices can be applied to solve real-world problems and support organizations to meet the demands of the ever-changing digital landscape.
Over a series of ten courses, students will present, implement and maintain emerging web-based technologies – learning by doing to solve problems individually and collaboratively. Methodical, concise and communicative development practices are encouraged throughout the program.
