How to finish My Web Design Course!
"I learned different techniques and styles in making a website :)"
How I did it: By attending our classes consistently, I was able to finish all the modules/subjects provided and was able to attend the Revalida (which was yesterday) wherein we are to present our final project to the panel that consists of one of the faculty members, the head of the training department and a guest panelist. We all passes in flying colors and I have to do is get my certificate that I completed the course. :)
Lessons & tips:
