Welcome to Web Design Training

Web Design Training Limited offer a range of specialist web design courses, allowing beginners to start at the basic level of competency and move on gradually to build their overall web-design skills.

David started Web Design Training Limited about 3 years ago, primarily to tutor night school classes for Massey High School and after he wrote the first course realised there was an interested market for this type of training.

David went on to start teaching courses through the REAP (Rural Education Activities Programmes) through some of the REAP offices in the North Island. David now teaches at 4 REAP offices, Kaitaia, Whakatane, Taupo and Taumarunui and has recently visited other offices in the North Island who are interested in this training.

David has also set up a training facility in each of his Designhand offices for one to one training with students. This is an easy way for students who are interested in learning web design to start with some basic courses to see if they like web design once they see under the bonnet so to speak.

David currently offers 4 courses through night school classes, REAP offices and his own Web Design Training offices in North West Auckland and the Ruapehu region.
