HTML & CSS

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Course Description

LearnKey’s HTML and CSS course is an excellent course for those looking to gain employability skills in the area of web development. The material covers the objectives on the HTML and CSS exam, putting a solid entry-level certification well within reach. Specifically, the course has two distinct parts: HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), which includes HTML fundamentals, document structuring, and multimedia presentation, and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), which includes CSS fundamentals and styling webpages. Then, the importance of accessibility for both HTML and CSS is introduced.

Students will have the opportunity to showcase their accomplishments by participating in Business Professionals of America (BPA) Competitions. It is a “hand-on” class and much of the work is completed independently.  There will also be opportunities in Soft Skills and Work Based Learning.
