Shall I use the Home Learning College to gain the skills I need to become a website designer?

January 21, 2010 - 9:58 pm

Hi there

Im think of becoming a website designer as I am an artist and creative. I also enjoy using computers so I feel this would be very good for me. I found the website Home Learning College who offer distance learning courses in this field and was thinking of doing what of there courses.

Has anyone used this company before and are they good? What was your experience?

Would appreciate any help

Thank you

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I did this course 4 years ago because I wanted to build my own web site. The help and support I received from my tutor was so encouraging that I passed every one of my course assignments with a distinction and also my final exam. I had no previous experience in this field and I found that the way the course was structured that I could study whilst looking after my new born baby. After completing the course I went on to set up my own Web Design company which means I’m a stay at home Mother and can enjoy all the benefits which working from home offers. I couldn’t think of a better way to learn about this subject than by doing so though the Home Learning College and really wish they also did a programming course.

Good Luck

Philippa

    I don’t think it’s necessary. If you have skills in art, buy a book on photoshop and go to it.

    I own a web design and developement company with many happy clients and I’ve never taken a course for it.
