UM WebMaster Certificate Program

Every modern business needs to have a professional Web site.  Unfortunately, few small businesses can afford to employ a full-time professional webmaster or hire an expensive consulting firm.  The UM WebMaster Certificate Program is specifically designed to solve this problem.

The 40-hour (five week) UM WebMaster course teaches the core skills needed to become a professional webmaster.  Starting from scratch, students learn to pan design, create, launch, maintain, manage and update a professional Web site.

Not only are students taught hands-on skills, but also theory needed to design and operate a successful Web site. Students graduate from the course with their own licensed web site.
