Colleges/Universities

Right now, the higher-education market is competing more than ever for students. Why? Because students want jobs, and they need the technology skills and credentials to succeed in their careers.

CIW is the most recognized vendor-neutral Web technology education program in the world. Some educators integrate CIW certification exams into their own curriculum by enabling students to conclude their coursework with a CIW certification. Others use Official CIW Curriculum for their courses, which can include ILT courseware, online supplements, practice exams and even virtual labs.

Educators can partner directly with CIW in a variety of ways to provide their students with a lifelong learning path to success. College instruction partnered with the leading professional certification in Web technology makes a perfect match to attract and retain new students.
