Certificate in Full-Stack Web Development

The Certificate in Full-stack Web Development is for anyone who wants to learn to build exceptional websites and gain a holistic understanding of how websites are designed to meet business needs. This program is well suited for people with a background in graphic design, marketing, IT support, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), as well as some prior knowledge and experience in full-stack web development. Students with no or very limited experience in front end or back end web development should expect some additional study time outside of the live instruction to practice what they’ve learned.

This program is your training ground to code with confidence. You won’t just learn to build incredible websites, you will also learn how to deconstruct an existing website and break it down to its elemental parts to fix issues as they arise.

This program will teach you to perform the functions required in a career as a full-stack web developer. You will learn to build dynamic, end-to-end website features, and leverage middleware to achieve web development project goals. You will learn to build incredible websites using HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, jQuery, Bootstrap, Node.js, MySQL, MongoDB and more.

In each successive course you will work on building a personal website project, allowing you to put your learned skills to practice and build a portfolio or work.
