At this time, we are unable to offer discounts or promotion codes.

No. As long as the course is completed within the four-week time period, students may log in according to their personal schedules.

One of the many benefits to the online structure is the freedom to work according to the pace of the individual.

Our instructor has created course files for you to use and practice with as you learn the techniques and tools of each of the three programs. In each course, you will move through a series of videos that allows you to practice, then complete an assignment for instructor feedback. Students may communicate directly with the instructor using the course messaging feature. Each course lasts four weeks, and is made up of four modules. It is reasonable to complete one module per week, but some may progress faster as their schedule allows.

You will receive personal feedback on your assignment submissions from the instructor.

The course is designed to start with the basics, so novice students can jump right in and become well-acquainted the program. The instructor provides sample files as collateral to work with and the videos serve as a guide for step-by-step processes.

As the course progresses, the tools, techniques and workflow become more complex. A more familiar student can expect to learn high-level functions of the program and may even choose to create their own collateral to work with.

The course is self-paced with guidance and feedback from the instructor. While the time commitment varies by participant, one can anticipate spending 2-3 hours per week to work through the courses. The courses last five weeks and are each made up of five modules. It is reasonable to complete one module per week, but some may progress faster as their schedule allows.

The Digital Web Design courses consists of five modules, over five weeks. It is reasonable to complete a module per week. The modules are formatted into groups of videos that demonstrate the program tools and techniques. As you watch the videos, you will have the opportunity to practice, then complete and submit an assignment to the instructor. Once she provides feedback that the assignment is satisfactory, you will be able to advance to the next module.

Students who successfully complete a course will retain access to the course videos for 90 days.

We offer a certificate of completion for our Digital Web Design program with CEU credit. CEUs are not transferable for academic credit hours. Our courses were created to deliver immediate skills in CSS, HTML, Analytics, SEO, and Javascript and for participants to be able to complete in a reasonable amount of time. The courses do not cover theory or case studies, and instead focus on hands-on practice with the tools and techniques the programs offer. Additionally, with continuing education programs such as ours, there is no degree requirement, application or process fee; participants simply register.
