About Course

The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Programmer course is an NQF Level 4 programme designed to equip learners with the knowledge and practical understanding required to build front-end web-based solutions using HTML, CSS, and related web technologies.

The course introduces learners to the fundamentals of HTML programming, progresses into HTML document structure and programming principles, then develops styling skills using CSS, intermediate HTML functionality, and advanced graphics, animation, and Bootstrap-based styling.

This qualification prepares learners to create well-written, readable HTML programs using disciplined coding practices and to work collaboratively in a team environment using version control tools such as GitHub. The qualification purpose states that an HTML Programmer should be able to implement solutions to solve real-life problems efficiently by applying knowledge of HTML programming principles and applicable tools.

This course is structured around five compulsory Knowledge Modules:

  1. KM-01: Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Basics
    Introduces learners to computers, HTML programming, IDEs, Git/GitHub, problem-solving, solution development life cycle, and the look and feel of websites.
  2. KM-02: HTML Programming Principles
    Covers the structure of an HTML document, HTML data types, attributes, elements, tags, tables, file paths, text basics, semantic content organisation, and communication with a remote server.
  3. KM-03: HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Styling Principles
    Develops learners’ understanding of styling HTML5 pages, CSS basics, and HTML forms.
  4. KM-04: HTML Intermediate Programming Functionalities
    Focuses on creating interactive webpages using HTML5 APIs, adding media, offline web application support, adaptive user interfaces, WebSockets, Web Workers, packaging, deployment, and publishing websites live on the web.
  5. KM-05: Advanced Graphics, Animation and Styling
    Covers advanced graphics in HTML, animation in HTML, and Bootstrap functionalities.

The Knowledge Component totals 20 credits, while the related Application Component totals 40 credits.

Course Content

KM-01: Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Basics
This module introduces learners to the foundational concepts required to begin working with HTML programming. It covers basic computer concepts, the introduction to HTML programming, suitable Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), Git and GitHub, problem-solving in programming, the life cycle for developing a solution, and an overview of the look and feel of a website. The module builds the learner’s understanding of the fundamentals of HTML as a programming language and prepares them for more detailed HTML document structure, styling, and practical web development work in later modules.

KM-02: HTML Programming Principles
This module builds on the foundational knowledge from KM-01 and focuses on the core principles of HTML programming. It introduces learners to the structure of an HTML document, including tags, elements, and attributes, and how these are used to organise and present content on web pages. The module also covers HTML data types, text formatting, tables, file and folder structures, and semantic organisation of content. In addition, learners are introduced to how web pages communicate with remote servers. By the end of this module, learners will have a solid understanding of how to create well-structured, readable, and functional HTML documents that form the backbone of web development.

KM-03: HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Styling Principles
This module introduces learners to the principles of styling web pages using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). While HTML provides the structure of a webpage, CSS is used to control the appearance, layout, and visual presentation. Learners will develop the ability to design visually appealing and user-friendly web pages by applying styling techniques such as colours, fonts, spacing, layouts, and responsive design. The module also introduces HTML forms, which are used to collect user input and are an important part of interactive web applications. By the end of this module, learners will be able to apply CSS styling principles to improve the readability, usability, and overall user experience of web pages.

KM-04: HTML Intermediate Programming Functionalities
This module builds on foundational HTML knowledge and introduces learners to more advanced and interactive web development features. Learners will explore how to create dynamic and interactive web pages using HTML5 functionalities and APIs, as well as how to work with multimedia, offline capabilities, and modern web technologies. The module focuses on improving user experience and preparing learners for real-world web development environments.
