IT Specialist – HTML and CSS
If you want to get the very basics of web development, you have to start with HTML structure and CSS styling. Everything else builds from there. Pitman Training’s 50-hour IT Specialist HTML and CSS course teaches both languages through six progressive domains - from fundamentals to accessibility testing. Choose in-centre training, virtual sessions, or blend them both. LiveTutor support runs 24/7 because code breaks at inconvenient times.

HTML and CSS form the backbone of web development – one creates structure, the other makes it presentable.
Our comprehensive course splits the learning into logical segments. First, HTML fundamentals teach you how browsers interpret markup, including basic tags and semantic elements that screen readers understand. CSS fundamentals follow, covering style sheets and rule sets that control everything from colours to typography. Domain three shows you proper document structure – navigation that makes sense, forms that work, content that flows.
The multimedia section gets practical with images, video, audio and even Canvas elements for graphics. Domain five tackles the challenge everyone faces: making text readable, layouts responsive, backgrounds that don’t clash. The final domain addresses what many courses skip – accessibility principles, testing methods, and making sure your code actually validates.
No prior coding knowledge needed to enter this course, just basic computer skills. Each lesson combines theory with hands-on practice, building toward real websites rather than isolated exercises. Complete the course for your Pitman Training certificate, then pass the IT Specialist exam to prove you’re ready for professional projects.
