Introduction
The Certified Web Development Expert (CWDE) certification is awarded by the Global Institute of Professional Management Certification (GIPMC). It is an expert-level credential covering the whole web stack: interfaces and front-end frameworks, server logic and APIs, databases, security, performance, testing, deployment and accessibility.
GIPMC's intended audience includes front-end, back-end and full-stack developers, web designers moving into development, software engineers on web platforms, technical consultants and application developers, freelancers and agency staff, and IT professionals who want structured web development skills.
BlueMorpho Learning Solutions is your training and enrollment partner for CWDE. We help you understand the exam, plan your preparation and enroll. GIPMC runs the exam and awards the certification.
