Program overview
A one year college certificate in web fundamentals, covering markup and styling, scripting, basic server concepts, content management and introductory application development.
This is an entry level credential from Grade 12 rather than a graduate certificate, so it builds web skills from the beginning.
College Certificate in Web Development and Internet Applications Fundamentals is taught at Conestoga College, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. The web development fundamentals certificate sits below degree level, so its post-graduation work permit depends on appearing on the IRCC eligible field of study list. The web development fundamentals certificate falls inside an eligible sector, which is a good sign, but confirm its CIP code with Conestoga in writing before you pay. If eligible, the web development fundamentals certificate supports a work permit of up to one year. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the web development fundamentals certificate can support a study permit application.
The academic bar for College Certificate in Web Development and Internet Applications Fundamentals is Grade 12 or equivalent with 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the web development fundamentals certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the web development fundamentals certificate. The web development fundamentals certificate lists seven entry windows, spanning September, January and May starts. Apply Study Visa manages your the web development fundamentals certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
