CIW Professional Certification
As a CIW candidate I finally booked my Certified Internet Webmaster Site Designer (1D0-520) exam. The previous night I had some serious hours of book cramming and thought I better get an early night in order to wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed for the exam the next morning.
I sat the second exam at the New Horizons Computer Learning Centre located in Edinburgh, Canonmills, which is a Prometric Testing Centre. I passed the Site Designer exam with 100% on the test and am now a qualified CIW Professional.

The training material for the second exam on the CIW Designer Certification Series consisted of two rather thick books all related to the curriculum Design Methodology and Technology covering the following topics:
Web Site Development Essentials
- site development process
- customer expectations
- ethical and legal issues in Web development
Web Design Elements
- aesthetics
- site user’s experience
- navigation
- usability
- accessibility
Basic Web Technologies
- HTML
- XHTML
- extended technologies
- image files
- GUI site development applications
- site publishing and maintenance
Advanced Web Technologies
- multimedia and plug-in technologies
- client-side
- server-side technologies
- web databases
What next then CIW E-Commerce Designer exam (1D0-525) perhaps? Well if I can get hold of the E-Commerce Designer self-study kit, which is only one exam away from possessing a Master CIW Designer Certification. Then I could add this to my curriculum vitae as further progress of my skills as learning continues…
