The Certified Front-End Web Developer course is 100% claimable course, under the HRD Corp Signature Programme.
Literacy in web development basics is in demand across a range of industries, including design, marketing, and product development. According to a recent Burning Glass report, “Our analysis of 26 million U.S. online job postings showed that jobs that required coding skills not only paid more, but also were growing more rapidly than the job market itself.” These opportunities aren’t limited to those with formal computer science training — employers want skills, not degrees.
Master the technical vocabulary you need to communicate confidently with web developers and technical stakeholders, and start applying your new skill set on the job immediately.
This course is popular among mid-career professionals in tech-adjacent roles who are looking to gain new skills to grow in their current jobs. Common roles include UX and UI designers, print and graphic designers, digital marketers, content producers, product managers and product designers.
Ultimately, this programme attracts students that are interested in building technical literacy, communicating better with developers, and taking their practice to the next level.
Yes! Upon passing this course, you will receive a signed certificate of completion. Thousands of GA alumni use their course certificate to demonstrate skills to employers and their LinkedIn networks. GA’s front-end developer course is well-regarded by many top employers, who contribute to our curriculum and use our tech programmes to train their own teams.
Our instructors represent the best and brightest web development professionals who combine in-depth knowledge as practitioners with a passion for nurturing the next generation of talent.
We work with a large pool of experienced instructors around the world.
This is a beginner-friendly programme with no prerequisites, although some students may have coded previously. First-time programmers will have access to pre-course preparatory lessons and additional resources to boost their confidence with key concepts.
Yes! All of our part-time courses are designed for busy professionals with full-time work commitments.
You will be expected to spend time working on homework and projects outside of class hours each week, but the workload is designed to be manageable with a full-time job.
If you need to miss a session or two, we offer resources to help you catch up. We recommend you discuss any planned absences with your instructor.
For your capstone project, you’ll leverage HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to develop a dynamic website from scratch. Combine technical and design skills to create a responsive website that’s compatible with modern browsers and devices. We encourage you to tackle a coding challenge that’s related to your work or a passion project you’ve been meaning to carve out time for.
Throughout the course, you’ll also complete a number of smaller labs designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit.
Front-End Web Development is GA’s most popular “starter course” for those who are curious about careers in tech or want to work more effectively with technical stakeholders. Graduates can go on to continue honing their skills in our evening and 1-week JavaScript Development course or commit to a career change with our Software Engineering Immersive programme.
