Overview

This online course is focused on teaching you the fundamental skills and concepts of HTML and CSS, two of the core technologies of the internet. While not technically programming languages, all websites are built on a foundation of HTML (which displays all content), and CSS, which dictates the style, colour and layout of this content.

This course teaches the coding of web design using HTML and CSS rather than front-end design. These web technologies are used to develop standalone applications for desktops, tablets and mobile phones, and this course will open up this rapidly evolving field to you.

While studying this course, you will learn:

  • HTML Fundamentals
  • CSS Fundamentals
  • Document Structure using HTML
  • Multimedia Presentation using HTML
  • Webpage Styling using CSS
  • Accessibility, Readability, and Testing

  • Duration: 16 weeks

    The IT Specialist in HTML and CSS (ITS – 301) is an official entry-level accreditation. It proves you have taken the first step toward building a successful career in information technology by displaying foundational competence in the field.
