Web Design & Development Program is one the best programs I’ve heard of. It’s full of great team members and instructors who help you through your journey. For some people 14 weeks might seem short for learning, but that’s why I like this program, it gives you real life examples to work in fast-paced environments.
Before starting this program I was interested in this field and I was studying some programming languages by myself, but I always knew I needed instructors, I found that them in this program, who are really professionals in their field and they know how to motivate any student who is interested in studying, they don’t limit your creativity or judge your designs, they’re oriented to give you knowledge.
Thank you to the whole team and Seneca for this amazing journey!

I attended this course in the winter of 2023. I was a complete beginner in this space, and It was an amazing experience. I came into the program as a mature student, not having been in a structured learning environment for over 20 years. The course was very informative on current practices and engaged in the foundational elements of Web D&D.
The lessons and assignments were challenging, but by putting in the effort and dedicating time, they were surprisingly easy to learn. After each lesson there is a lab time with a teacher assistant always there to help you. The teachers are all highly skilled in their field and explained many concepts in a simple and understandable way. The pace of each class was appropriate for the amount of information a person could learn in a day. The course also provided me with invaluable career counselling, really focusing on what actually matters when pursuing a career and how to present yourself for future employment.
Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about this field, whether you're a beginner or have a background in the field. I gained an abundance of valuable skills which led to me branching off into self- learning, and the amount of knowledge I came out of this course with is immeasurable. I came into this program determined, but apprehensive and anxious as a mature student. One thing that helped me succeed and I can't stress this enough. You MUST put in the effort and dedicate time daily, and you WILL succeed in this program.
Thank you Seneca Web D&D for such a fantastic learning experience.

I’ve always enjoyed creating websites and had an interest for anything web related. It started out as a hobby at first, then during the Covid-19 lockdown I got more involved in coding. This made me realize that web development was my true career path. Even though I was self-taught, I needed a better curriculum to purse my career goal. That’s when I came across Seneca’s Web Development and Design Program.
During my time in the program, the instructors were wonderful and very knowledgeable when it came to all topics. They were very friendly, easy to communicate with and were always ready to help and give their expertise on each subject. The afternoon labs were a big help and the lab instructors where just as wonderful and friendly. They were always on-call when you need extra assistance on your assignments and lab homework. One of the many reasons why this program is top-notch!
Another part of the program that was a huge bonus for me was the Client Management and Career development. It will enable you to learn the business aspects and career planning of the industry. This has helped me transition into my new career path.
The program was intensive and was honestly the best decision I’ve ever made. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants a career change into web development and design. It has truly changed my life!

During the pandemic, I was trying to do a career change. That’s when I made my decision to choose this course. The course materials were up to date, so you are able to learn the newest technologies for your skill development. The instructors are very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. There were afternoon lab times, so you can book a time slot and ask questions. I personally really like it because you can easily share your screen and let your instructor help you fix your code problems.
Besides the mandatory contents, this course also provided class notes, links to useful resources, many tips for my learning, and even a real client project to practice my skills. I gained a lot of confidence after the course. It may seem a lot when you just start it, but everything will go smoothly if you follow along the course. In the end, you will say: Building a website is not that hard!

With the pandemic, I decided to make a change in my professional life, and taking Seneca’s Webmaster Program (now the Web Design & Development Program) has been the best decision of my life! Yes, the program is intensive, but it’s totally worth it. The way the program is designed is just perfect: everything is connected and takes a natural place in your mind and you learn so much in only a few weeks!
The entire team is amazing, the instructors are here to teach, but you can tell that each of them love doing it! They are so kind, human, they are so available during and after class, and their only wish is for you to succeed. Now that the program is done, everything that I have learned makes me feel that I’m ready for my next step: to find a job in my new field!
Thank you again to the whole team, you helped me realizing that coding is my passion, and you showed me that it is possible to make a living out of it if wanted.

I was looking for a significant change in my life and my career, so I decided to participate in this program. I had incredible moments during the program, and I learned much from the instructors. They are caring and knowledgable.
I met great people, and I found tech friends. After finishing school, we decided to run a start-up company, and now I am thinking about how I started the program and ended it up like this, I can call it Big Change. I strongly recommend this program to those who want to take their job position as a web designer and developer to the next level and polish their knowledge.

The Webmaster program (now the Web Design & Development Program) is the best program I've ever taken. The instructors are top notch! They truly want to see you succeed and teach accordingly! We learned so much in the 14 weeks. I totally recommend taking the Webmaster program!
~ Jennifer Fisher
I think I can say the best decision I've ever made was joining the Webmaster (now Web Design & Development) Program at Seneca. The instructors were caring and knowledgeable. I can't believe how they taught us such a huge amount of technical information with a fast pace while creating a fun and pleasant environment. The courses and types of assignments covered absolutely essential and up-to-date technologies in the field of web development. Also working on a real project gave me the confidence and the opportunity to apply whatever I learned. It was a great experience.
Thank you Seneca

"I attended the Seneca Webmaster program (now Web Design & Development). Coming from a self-taught professional Web Developer background, I was eager to learn the latest best practices. The course moved quickly and covered every aspect of the development process - from project management, to design, correct coding techniques, and emerging technologies. Understanding rather than memorization was the focus of learning. Invaluable information included the best resources to use for research and ongoing skills upgrades. The instructors and teaching assistants were experts in their disciplines, and always willing to spend extra time to help everyone keep up. I highly recommend this course to anyone who is serious about Web Design and Development. The breadth of its content, the cost and the duration are all superior to the competition. Thank you Seneca!"
~ Charles Iscove
"I graduated from the Webmaster (now Web Design & Development) program and definitely recommend it. It's full time and intensive. The instructors are very knowledgeable and were always available to help when I needed assistance. You will get a very good understanding of website design and a good grounding in the different aspects of constructing a website with this course. Working with a real client at the end of the course was great practice in actually applying the knowledge that was learned."
