Welcome to the Certified CMS Developer and Administrator Program! This focused 3-month course is designed to equip you with the professional skills needed to build, customise, manage, and administer websites using the world's most powerful Content Management Systems — with a deep focus on WordPress, Shopify, and modern headless CMS solutions.
Over 43% of all websites on the internet are powered by CMS platforms. Businesses, brands, agencies, and freelancers rely on CMS developers and administrators who can build fully functional, fast, and secure websites without starting from scratch. This course takes you from installation and theme customisation all the way to custom plugin development, e-commerce setup, performance optimisation, and client handover — the complete skill set agencies and clients pay for.
