Build Your Own Webpages

Learn to create your own webpages from the comfort of home. PurpleTrain's latest offerings of IT courses will enable you to do that and more. You can pick up the basic skills to build a basic web page to advanced skills that will make your website stand out.

" With the boom in internet-related activities, the introduction of this latest package of courses is very timely. Many potential students had expressed their interest in web design courses but regretted that they did not have the time to attend classes. We have set up these courses not only for those who wish to study at their own pace, in the comfort of their home but also to cater to this group of people, " said Mr Raj Singh, Assistant Director of PurpleTrain.com.
However, you are not left alone to find your own way around when you sign up. Yes, all course materials will be available online but a facilitator will be assigned to each course to guide the students and to offer suggestions. The best part of it all - is you get to interact with students from all around the world in the discussion rooms. Something that would be hard to find in most conventional IT training courses.

The package consists of a wide range of topics that covers all aspects of web design and web programming. For those who would like to learn the fundamentals of web design, the MS Frontpage, Web Design using HTML and MS Visual Basic Level 1 courses, provides sound fundamentals to creating your own web pages.

If you already know how to create you own web page but would like to enhance your present site or just pick up some advanced skills, the MS Visual Basic Level 2, Introduction to Java Programming and Javascript courses, might be just what you are looking for.

" We have built up a store of experience from running IT training as well as IT diploma and degree courses online. This series of courses is an extension of the vast storehouse of expertise that we possess, " added Mr Singh.

The duration of each course lasts from between two to four weeks. For more information, contact PurpleTrain.com at helpdesk@purpletrain.com or your nearest Informatics centre.

Its Group Net Profit jumped by 29% from S$10.0 million in the previous year to S$12.9 million due to an increase in demand for IT training and education services.
