Earn a Diploma
Courses for everyone 30
According to the Information and Communication Technology Council of Canada (ICTC), full stack web developer is the fourth most in-demand digital job in Alberta, with an annual growth projected at 46%.
Software development involves more than coding. Solid foundations in time-tracking, project planning, user experience, communication, and quality assurance help you build awesome programs and responsive websites on-time and on-budget.
Develop skills essential to any development career as you learn about both the front and the back end of website development (choice of either 
C# or 
Python stream) in this part-time, fully online diploma program offered as a partnership between the Faculty of Extension and the University of Alberta’s Technology Training Centre (TTC).
Work through practical solutions in real-time with practicing professionals, interacting with the experienced TTC team of instructors through live online classes. Get one-on-one “homework help” for your projects and assignments: our instructors are always ready for you to reach out when you need help to find that bug that has been eluding you.
