Additional delegates attending: £195 each per-day + VAT

Overview: This is a highly practical, workshop-style CSS training course for new or existing web developers with a working knowledge of HTML or XHTML. Its aim is to create a sound understanding of the important formatting aspects of web development. It therefore teaches the elements of the now standard Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) tool set.

By the end of the course, delegates should be able to use this knowledge to develop fully functioning, static web sites. They will also be in a position to progress onto other courses which build on this knowledge to build more complex, dynamic web sites (using for example, JavaScript, DHTML, VBScript, ASP.
