Build your foundations first, deepen them through full-stack training, prove your capability through projects and then present that work properly through a portfolio website.
Step 1
Start with industry-recognised coding courses that build your front-end and back-end foundations.
Step 2
Deepen your front-end knowledge while developing the back-end skills needed for full-stack development.
Step 3
Complete two tutor-set practical projects designed around realistic developer scenarios.
Step 4
Create a professional portfolio website that helps employers understand your skills and project experience.
Step 5
Work with a dedicated Recruitment Mentor who will tailor your CV, prepare you for interviews and help source suitable Developer roles.
Build from web development fundamentals into practical full-stack capability, with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, React, PHP, Bootstrap, jQuery, Git, SQL and project-led training.
Step 1 foundation
Hypertext Markup Language is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets and scripting languages such as JavaScript.
HTML is one of the main languages that power the internet. Once you master it, you can begin creating your own web content, from simple websites to the foundations of more complex online applications.
This online course provides an in-depth look at the essentials of writing and editing HTML code, giving you the page structure, content and formatting knowledge needed before moving into styling and interactivity.
Step 1 styling
Cascading Style Sheets is used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language like HTML. It gives developers and designers the ability to create attractive, usable web pages.
Whether you are responsible for thousands of pages or building websites for local businesses, CSS is an important skill to master because it controls layout, spacing, colour, typography and presentation.
This course introduces CSS3, the CSS box model, page layouts, colours and backgrounds, web typography, links, lists, tables and dynamic CSS3 properties.
Step 1 interactivity
JavaScript, often abbreviated as JS, is a high-level, just-in-time compiled, object-oriented programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification.
The JavaScript Essentials online training course teaches the fundamentals of JavaScript programming, a critical skill for anyone moving into web development and interactive website creation.
You begin with syntax and core concepts, then move into the DOM and libraries so you can understand how dynamic behaviour is added to modern websites.
Step 1 programming
Python is a general-purpose, versatile and popular programming language. It is a strong first language because it is concise and easy to read, while still being useful across web development, software development and data science applications.
This course introduces fundamental programming concepts and Python 3, the most up-to-date version of the language, with improvements designed to make code more efficient and simple to write.
Python is used by companies such as Instagram, Spotify, Netflix and Uber, making it a valuable language to have in any programmer’s stack.
Step 2 full-stack route
Ready to start building polished websites and web applications? This path begins with the basics but progresses quickly through CSS, JavaScript, SQL, React and more, helping you move from no-code to full-stack development.
You practise your skills every step of the way while completing projects and assignments, so by the end of the course you can show off your new skills to employers.
This stage connects your foundation knowledge into more complete development workflows, including front-end applications, back-end logic, databases, APIs, Git and testing.
Step 2 server-side development
PHP is a widely used server-side programming language that has become increasingly fast and powerful over the years. It works well with HTML and databases, making it valuable for building dynamic web applications.
PHP was created over 25 years ago and remains one of the most popular languages used by web developers. This course helps you understand how server-side logic works and how PHP can process forms, conditions, loops, arrays and objects.
Step 2 responsive framework
If you want to quickly create a website without writing tons of CSS from scratch, Bootstrap 4 may be the framework you are looking for. This course shows how Bootstrap makes it easy to lay out and create interactive, responsive sites.
You learn Bootstrap’s grid system to construct complex layouts, then style and populate your site using Bootstrap utility classes and components. With Bootstrap, HTML, CSS familiarity and JavaScript, you can create websites more efficiently.
Step 2 JavaScript library
With HTML and CSS, you can build visually appealing static web pages. With a bit of JavaScript, you can add dynamic behaviour. jQuery is a JavaScript library that provides lots of dynamic behaviour out of the box.
This allows you to add creative effects to otherwise static layouts. You learn how to add jQuery to web pages, traverse the DOM and use effects, event handlers and style methods.
