Overview:
During the past ten years, the Internet has arguably become the most important way for a whole range of new and established companies to do business. Whether you work for a company that could benefit from e-commerce, or perhaps have a great idea but lack the skills to take it online, our computers and internet commerce course is a great place to start.

The course starts with the basics - defining what the Internet is, and introducing you to the main principles of web site design. You'll learn how to design a simple site, set up an online e-commerce facility, and how to promote and advertise your site through search engines and online marketing strategies.

Support:
As a Direct Home Learning student, you will be allocated a personal tutor who will mark and help you with your work. You will also have access to our tutorial support service during normal office hours, for all the practical advice you may need.

Assessment:
This course includes a number of tutor marked assessments that you complete as part of your coursework and then forward to your tutor. These consist of e commerce design tasks and case studies to examine, and short questions on specific topics within the course.

The internet is the future for most businesses, yet many still lack key staff with e-commerce training. Our computers and internet commerce course is a great place to learn these skills, opening a wide range of career options for you.
