For Front-End Coders Looking to Get Into Back End Work
If you already build the front end and you've been thinking about moving into back-end work, this is the step. Over eighteen months, fully online and at your own pace, this diploma takes you through dynamic sites, databases and REST APIs. It suits coders with HTML, CSS and JavaScript already in hand. You finish with a nationally recognised qualification and data-driven web applications you built yourself.

Why Do This Course
Build the Half You Cannot See
Dynamic sites, databases and APIs are where the work gets paid. This diploma covers all three.
Stop Handing Off the Hard Part
If you already style pages, this closes the gap. You design the database, wire it in, and lock the app down.
Lead the Build One Day
Leading a team is a unit. So is handling client problems and how a site is organised.
Where These Skills Could Take You
Back-end developer, web application developer, software developer across the stack. The visible site is the small half; you build the part that makes it work.
Back-End Developer
Building the engine that runs behind the pages.
Web Application Developer
Turning requirements into working applications.
Software Developer
Working across both the front and back end.
Programmer
Writing and maintaining the code the site depends on.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role and employer is different, and some ask for more study or experience.

What Makes It Different
Three things put this at diploma level. Database design, REST APIs and noSQL, and quality checks as a skill.
You design databases, wire them into sites, and store data in noSQL as well.
Creating REST APIs is its own unit. That is how a site talks to everything else.
Quality checks for sites, app security, and shaping a content system to fit.
