CIW Web Foundations is a three-course series that teaches the
essential, hands-on skills and knowledge that Internet professionals

courses prepares students to take the high-stakes CIW Web
Foundations Associate certification exam. Those who pass the CIW
Web Foundations Associate exam earn the highly respected CIW
Web Foundations Associate certification, which is recognized
throughout the industry as validating essential Internet skills for the
workplace. The CIW Web Foundations Associate certification proves

applications. A CIW Web Foundations Associate certificant can use
common Internet-ready applications, can create properly formed
HTML documents, knows CGI and database essentials, and can
troubleshoot networks.
The Internet Business Associate course prepares students to work
effectively in today's business environment. This course discusses
the tasks involved in various Information Technology (IT) job roles,
and explores career opportunities in the IT industry. It teaches
students about Internet connection methods, Internet protocols, the
Domain Name System (DNS), cloud computing and mobile devices.
It also teaches the basic functions of Web browsers, the
components of Web addresses, and browser use in the business
world. Students learn how browser plug-ins and add-ons can
improve their Web-browsing experiences, and they use browsers to
download and manage files. This course also provides competency

course teaches students how to protect their privacy and personal
information on the Internet, including protecting their reputation by
limiting the information they post online. The course also discusses
the risks associated with being connected to the Internet, and about
the security measures that can keep computer systems and
personal information secure. Students also learn about the use and
control of cookies. Finally, students study the fundamental elements
of project and program management, and the importance of
acquiring these skills for all IT job roles.
The Site Development Associate course teaches students essential
Web page development skills. This course teaches students to
develop Web sites using Hypertext Markup Language version 5
(HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Students learn to
write code manually, as well as use graphical user interface (GUI)
authoring tools. They also insert images, create hyperlinks, and add
tables, forms, video and audio to Web pages, as well as use
HTML5 Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to extend the
functionality of Web pages (geolocation, drag-and-drop, canvas and
offline Web applications). Other topics include validating HTML
code, recognizing the importance of search engine optimization
(SEO), using style sheets extensively to format Web page content,
and implementing fundamental design concepts. Throughout the
course, students learn how Web sites are developed as managed
projects. They also identify e-commerce solutions and relate Web
site development to business goals. This course also provides an
introduction to tasks, job roles and careers in Web development,
and it teaches students how to work as a productive part of a Web
site development team. Hands-on labs include real-world scenarios
based on a previously live version of the Habitat for Humanity site
