Web Director Course
For people who want to learn IT skills or become a web director.
Web directors are often called “jacks-of-all-trades,” and few roles in IT are as varied. To handle so many different tasks, you need real skills — without them, you are just a go-between. If you don’t understand how servers and websites work, you can’t talk with engineers. If you know little about design, you can’t work well with designers. If you can’t read the numbers, you end up leaving everything to the marketers. If you don’t keep up with the latest technology, you can’t make proposals to clients or your sales team. The same goes for communicating with project managers.
It is a role with a heavy workload, so you always need to think about efficiency. Automation and AI can help you. Skills in Excel, presentation materials and documentation matter, as does digital communication through chat and task management tools.
This is a free service with unlimited learning. You can learn everything from basic IT skills to web direction techniques grounded in real-world work. Course materials are provided in Japanese.
