Who is the intermediate CSS course for?
This course is particularly suitable if you are:
- Self-taught at CSS and are looking to formalise your knowledge
- Working as a content editor and looking to develop your CSS skills into this area
- Looking to learn what CSS is from an introductory standpoint
At a minimum, you'll need to understand the basics of CSS and how to write out simple CSS commands (e.g. to change font size or colours).
If the course seems too basic then check out our excellent advanced CSS training which usually takes place the day after the intermediate course.
