Build a career working with the world of the web
Websites are a crucial aspect of any organisation across all industries. The need for talented and skilled developers is high, so once you've completed your qualification in website development, your options are endless.
The ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology (Front End Web Development) course covers the whole life cycle for commercially ready websites and gives you the opportunity to work on live projects. At this level you develop skills that mean you are industry ready, from conception, liaising with clients, documentation, graphics, coding, testing to training of users. You'll be able to utilise project management techniques and develop advanced soft skills such as communication with clients through team work to produce the end product aligned with business needs. Independent thinking and problem solving skills developed within your Certificate IV course are further enhanced with real life client projects.
Our graduates are confident, job ready and sought after by industry because of the specific skills they have gained at North Metropolitan TAFE. Many have employment by the time they graduate.
New students who have not studied the course that precedes this qualification should contact the area to ensure they apply for the correct level of study.

- Aptitude for design
- Interested in developing knowledge of computer programming languages
- Happy to keep up to date with new web technologies and trends
I have attended the end of year graduations of students from North Metropolitan TAFE for the Certificate IV in Programming, Cert IV in Web Based Technologies, Diploma of Software Development and Diploma of Website Development. As part of the experience, I see their end of year projects demonstrated and have the opportunity to question them on what they have built and the extent of their knowledge. Those students are Industry ready. I have attended for at least the past four years, probably longer, and continue to be impressed with what I see. The courses get stronger each year, and the students graduating have a lot to offer.
