thanks a lot Dorian. I really appreciate for taking your time on this! Currently I'm an employee of SEO company in Sri lanka and I want to expertise my knowledge and skills in web designing. My goal is to be a web master. I do not have any degrees or diplomas yet, so I'm looking forward to do recognized course that can provide me with the required knowledge on web industry. Here in my country, options available for web designing is very limited. Almost every direct web designing courses are 6 month programs which I already have done one. No, I do not plan to study in UK or abroad. Only local. Since there are no direct local courses in web designing (recognized), now I'm in a position of selecting the best suitable course for my requirements. That is why I'm considering BCS. I would like to mention few other options I have. (since there are many programs I mentioned link to particular page. In a page there can be few IT degree programs. please consider if you have the time. ) 1. http://www.sliit.lk/prospective-students/ - carrer path : http://www.sliit.lk/undergraduate-programmes/ 2. http://www.nsbm.lk/target_cs.php?eid=undergraduate - here they do not conduct BSc (Hons) in Web Design and Technology program. 3. http://bit.cmb.ac.lk/bit_syllabus_2013-14 4. Again the BCS.

For e-commerce websites you can try prestashop. - excellent back office management features.

Thanks! Would you please tell me what you think about BCS (British Computer Society)? (below are the details of modules and duration for all three levels < 2 years). Level 1 - Certificate in IT: Information Systems Software Development Computer & Network Technology Level 2 - Diploma in IT: Core Module Professional Issues in Information Systems Practice Optional Modules (Minimum of 3 to select) Computer Networks Database Systems IT Project Management Object Oriented Programming Systems Analysis & Design Principles of Internet Technologies (April only) IT Service Management (April only) Software Engineering 1 (April only) Principles of User Interface Design (April only) Level 3 - Professional Graduate Diploma in IT Optional Modules (minimum of 4 to select) Advanced Database Management Systems Management Information Systems Software Engineering 2 Computer Services Management Distributed and Parallel Systems ( April only) Knowledge Based Systems (April only)

As for the options available in my country I'm considering BCS and http://www.idm.lk/component/content/article/86. (if you can, please take time to consider the modules mentioned in link). Both courses are worth I know, but which would be the best to specialize my career in web designing or you have some better thoughts? I really need some suggestions. thanks!
