There are a number of ways to learn web design and work in a rewarding career. Web design is a skill that requires some formal training to improve your expertise and understand foundational concepts. American Graphics Institute (AGI) offers web design courses and web design certificate programs to help you get started.
In-Person or Online Web Design Courses

Web Design Certificate Programs
You can learn online or in-person in the web design certificate program to help start or transition to a web design career. This 126-hour program can be taken either part-time or full-time to accommodate your schedule, with full-time programs taking as little as five weeks to complete. The web design certificate program also provides access to a dedicated career counselor to help you find or advance your career once you finish your education, so you can enter the field with confidence.
Web Design College Degrees
You can obtain a college degree in web design, with programs that take between two and four years to complete. Associate's degrees typically take two years to finish if you're enrolled full-time, whereas you can expect a Bachelor's program to run at least four years. A formal Associate's or Bachelor's degree in web design can provide you with a comprehensive education—though the field is so dynamic that your education should always be ongoing as a web designer, and you can continue to advance your career with ongoing professional development classes.
