Building a Career in Digital

John enrolled in aaa’s New Media Interactive Design programme (NQF 5) with a goal to combine creativity with technology. At aaa, he found a launchpad. “The practical nature of the curriculum gave me a strong foundation in front-end development,” he shares. “It sparked my passion for web development and gave me the confidence to pursue further studies—including PHP programming and a degree in Computer Science at UNISA.” From learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (when Dreamweaver was still a leading tool) to building his first functional web page during a practical session, the hands-on experience at aaa gave John direction, purpose, and the confidence to carve out a thriving career in the fast-moving digital industry. Today, he’s a Senior Web Developer and Team Lead at Fuzz Digital, an IT and digital marketing agency based in South Africa.
