What is Front-End Web Development Programme?
Front-end developers are the architects of websites and apps. Your job is to make ideas and designs come to life.
The first 8 weeks are ALX Foundations, where you will learn critical communication, leadership, and career development skills that will help you thrive in the digital workforce.
You’ll then learn how to code in HTML, CSS, and Javascript through hands-on projects that push you to design user-friendly websites. Your capstone project is to publish your own fully-functional website on GitHub.
This programme is designed to take you from novice to job-ready in 6 months.
“ALX had a profound impact on my career development. The programme exceeded my expectations in every way. Within weeks of graduating and implementing some of the learnt strategies, I began to get invitations for interviews, one of which has translated into my current job.”
