Program overview

A one year graduate certificate in web technologies, covering front end frameworks, server side development, databases, responsive interfaces and deployment practice.

This asks only 50 percent where most Conestoga technology certificates ask 70, which makes it among the more accessible routes into Canadian software work for someone without a computing background.

Graduate Certificate in Web Development is taught at Conestoga College, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. The web development 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 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 certificate supports a work permit of up to one year. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the web development certificate can support a study permit application.

Applicants to Graduate Certificate in Web Development need a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the web development certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the web development certificate. The web development certificate lists seven entry windows, spanning September, January and May starts. Apply Study Visa manages your the web development certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
