“Although I have a background in Graphic Design I did not have the necessary Web Design Skills to create and maintain professional web sites. By following this modular course, I was able to acquire all the skills I needed.

The Level 3 OCR qualification has been very useful in proving my ability and has helped me gain my current position as Graphic & Web Designer.”
