I thoroughly enjoyed the training course. The hands-on approach meant I could put principles into action right there in class. I'd recommend this course to anyone who works with the web!

What you'll learn

During the one-day interactive course you will:

  • Learn how to lose the tables and create a 3-column CSS layout with positioning
  • Produce creative designs with advanced formatting effects and background images
  • Create boxes with curves
  • Understand the rules of inheritance and the difference between inline and block elements
  • Produce attractive horizontal and vertical list-based navigation
  • Learn about the box model and how to apply borders, padding and margins
  • Create a web page which is automatically print-friendly
  • Discover how to use relative and absolute sizing correctly
  • Find out how to plan and correctly comment your CSS files

You'll also receive a free 80-page colour handbook that contains all tutorials.

The intermediate CSS training is aimed at people that have been using CSS mostly for formatting effects whilst still using tables for layout. It's designed to help you perfect your CSS understanding so you feel more confident taking on more difficult projects. If this course seems too basic for you then check out our excellent advanced CSS training.

Our intermediate CSS training follows one basic principle:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Chinese proverb

Put simply, we want to give you the skills to implement your CSS designs with confidence. The intermediate CSS training lasts for one full day, during which time you'll complete a series of exercises designed for you to discover the answers by yourself and then put into practice what you've learnt.

By the end of the day, you'll have a excellent understanding of fundamental CSS principles. As a result of our hands-on intermediate CSS training, you'll have:

  • A deeper understanding of your new knowledge
  • Ownership of what you've learnt
  • The ability to apply what you've learnt again and again in the future
