Course Overview

As the digital sector continues to expand each year with an understanding of the coding behind popular websites and apps becomes more and more worthwhile. Whether as a means of working towards employment or further study this level 2 course is ideal for beginners who are interested in learning about how web design teams work as a team on coding projects. In addition, there will be a focus on how to interact with key stakeholders such as companies who have differing requirements and purposes. Ranging from retail to data security; from administration, to web design – there are a range of circumstances where a coder may find themselves. We would recommend this course to learners who would like to work towards a career in web design, information systems management, and app and software development.

Learners start and complete our distance learning courses every day, all year, so there is no need to wait until term begins. The courses are designed to be ready when you are, so you can fit it into your schedule.

Study takes place in an online virtual learning environment (VLE) which allows convenient and flexible learning. We recommend spending 6-8 hours studying per week to ensure that you meet your assignment deadlines.
