Today’s announcement by ALISON, the world’s leading free online interactive training provider, means learners can increase their skillset, CV and job prospects at their own pace from the comforts of their own home. 

ALISON is delighted to announce the release the first of its online diploma-level courses. The courses in Multimedia, Web Development and Business & Entrepreneurship (shortly to be released) will give the learner a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of each subject from the ground up. Upon successful graduation, the student will have gained highly valuable skills and training that will greatly enhance employment and career prospects.

Delivered using screen-capture technology, the diploma course in Web Development identifies the skills and techniques needed to create professional-looking websites. It introduces the basic languages and programmes needed to create and style websites with programmes such as HTML, Cascading Style Sheets and Adobe Dreamweaver. 

The online Multimedia Development Diploma course teaches the skills to create stunning visual and audio effects. Learners will be guided on how to create and edit animations, video, audio and motion and stationary graphics. The course explores the fundamentals of design principles and examines their application using popular software programmes such as Photoshop, Director MX, Windows Movie Maker, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Flash.

These courses are delivered online in a non-technical and step-by-step manner allowing learners to work at their own pace from the comfort of their home. Given the high cost of instructor-led training, the diploma-level courses offer a modern, affordable, high quality alternative to traditional training methods.
