The course assumes a basic level of knowledge of website design equivalent to the IBaT Diploma in Website Design. It is not suitable for beginner web designers and those not holding an IBAT Diploma in Web Design course or equivalent must demonstrate a proficient knowledge of design.

The main objective of this course is to upskill existing web designers from a basic level of website design to a more advanced level. It includes Client-Side JavaScript Programming for the web and gives a really solid foundation in HTML and CSS code, which are essential skills for all advanced website designers. Another main objective of the course is to enable existing website designers to design sites that are specifically developed with both Accessibility and Search Engine Optimization in mind.
