Web and Content Management
Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Digital Technologies (Web and Content Management). The award comes from Pearson in the UK, not from TIIB.
Half of it is building the site, half is running what gets published on it. You learn to code a site properly, put it on a CMS, make it fast and findable, and plan the content it carries. Graduates tend to end up either in a web team or running their own client work, and both routes are covered.

A Level 5 HND is 240 credits
Direct entry into the final year of a UK bachelor's degree in web development, digital media or computing.
