Creative training courses in web development

Established in 1997, Ubiq is a unique home-based training company based in East Dulwich, London. We run our courses in a comfortable room with an adjoining lounge area. Our customers are made to feel at home, relaxed and at ease, and as a result, they learn more. We can also deliver training tailored to your own requirements, either here or on your own premises.

About our courses

We are a fully independant training company, and we design our own courses around real-world projects, concentrating on the most important skills and techniques you will need. We deliver courses in the Adobe Creative Suite and related coding languages for the web. We employ expert trainers who are also working industry professionals with proven teaching skills. See our Trainers page for more details. Our courses include certification, free technical support, course notes and supporting materials and last but not least, a really fantastic home-cooked lunch.

Small classes for a better learning experience

We believe in quality over quantity, so we train no more than four people in a group. Small groups allow for a much greater level of interaction between trainer and students. In many ways, this is even better than a one-to-one course, as you will generally find yourself with a small group of people with similar interests. If you’ve been disappointed in the past by typical classroom-based courses, then this will be a new and much better experience.

Creating HTML Emails

Responding to a significant demand, this course is aimed at people who want to create good looking and reliable HTML emails. You will learn how to create newsletters that work in the widest possible range of email applications.

Flash CS4 – Advanced Animation techniques

This course is aimed at Flash users who want to take their skills much further, and want to learn about the new and more advanced features in Flash CS4 – the latest release. We go into depth with the new Motion Tween Editor, Ease curves, Inverse Kinematics, Masks and 3D transformations.

New! Getting Started with Photoshop – (This course will get you up and running with Photoshop in a day…)

Aimed at anyone who wants to use Photoshop for tasks such as preparing graphics for the Web, for e-marketing or for presentations, this one day course cuts through the complexity, and teaches you the fundamental skills and techniques that will let you get the job done.

Drupal Courses

Drupal is a highly configurable open source content management system (CMS) for the web implemented with PHP and MySQL. Drupal can be easily configured via a user-friendly web interface and is widely used for a range of different web applications, from blogging to large-scale enterprise websites.

Elements can contain other elements (child elements) inside their opening and closing tags, and may also have attributes, which are given in name=value pairs in an element’s opening tag. Technically you don’t have to enclose attribute values in quatation marks to let your HTML be read by the World Wide Consortium (W3C).

HTML Commands

… – marks the opening and closing of an HTML document.

… – creates the head of an HTML document

Further information on fees, scholarships and bursaries

Areas such as project management, design and human interaction are also an integral part of the course.

Year 1 (Credit Level 4)

You are given a broad introduction to multimedia and animation and immediate exposure to the tools and software commonly used within the industry. All areas of animation are considered, including programming, designing and developing content. Much of the work is course work-based and you have opportunities to work with the key development tools. Both the development of graphics and the animation of assets are covered in the first part of the course.

Year 2 (Credit Level 5)

In Year 2 you are exposed to the needs of the animation industry. There are opportunities to look at how projects are managed and organised. You will continue to improve your skills in the development, design and transition of animated content, and you are introduced to 3D computer graphics and modelling using software such as 3D Studio Max and Maya. You can also choose between options and put more focus on your programming or design skills, or look at animation and its crossover into other areas of computing.

Year 3 (Credit Level 6)

You will complete a project of your own choice. This is a real chance for you to develop your knowledge in an area of interest, and to relate your work to the needs of industry. You also have the chance to develop more advanced techniques in a variety of areas such as motion capture and post-production. The focus continues to be ‘handson’ with real exposure to the tools and software that create animated content and graphics. You will have a good understanding of the needs of the market, the job opportunities that are available and the types of specialisations on offer within the multimedia and animation industry.

Sandwich placement year:
Between Year 2 and Year 3 (credit Level 5 and 6) you can choose to take a year out and work in the multimedia and animation industry. This offers you an ideal chance to put into practice the skills you have learnt in the first two years of the course. It also gives you the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the needs of the industry, and the experience gained from a placement often means that you are much better equipped to gain employment after your final year at the University
