Program Details
Computing PTS courses are highly applied and delivered by subject matter experts, who are industry practitioners.
COMP 1850 and COMP 2132 provide a solid understanding of best practices in web page design and hand-coding using industry-standard scripting tools. Students learn HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, along with responsive design, and source control using GIT.
In the first course COMP 1850, students learn the best practices and tools used for the design and hand-coding of web pages and web sites. In the compressed 6-week delivery versions, students may also complete COMP 2132 in the same term after COMP 1850.
As part of this statement of completion, we are including our 12-week evening course COMP 1011 UX/UI Fundamentals.
Tuition for these 3 required courses plus 1 elective is around $2,100+ for the minimum 126 hours of class time. Most students can expect to spend another 200+ hours completing reading, homework, assignments and web projects outside of class.
Students who choose the intensive 12-week delivery of the first 3 courses in Web Development Fundamentals should plan on 300 hours total work, averaging 25 hours per week. Those students capable of a heavy course load may complete the 3 foundation courses a compressed delivery over one 12-week term.
With class time and homework, this compressed delivery could equate to a 25+ hour per week with classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. An advanced 6-week JavaScript elective may then be taken in the following term, allowing the Web Development Fundamentals to be completed in as little as 18 weeks.
Flexible scheduling also allows for a flexible delivery with one course per term over four terms with lighter workloads. Students who complete 1 course per term may finish this series of 4 courses in 4 terms, or 1.5 years.
COMP courses are available weeknights, weekends and with some fast-track day delivery options.
Web Development Fundamentals provides 10.5 credits that also count for credit in the AWD Associate Certificate.
