OK boys, hope you don't think I'm talkin out of turn, but if you are all so expert at this interweb why are you cleaning carpets for a living? And if you're not what are you doing on this carpet cleaning forum?
I thought you brits where a reserved mature bunch of guys, but me and Lizzie reckon you sound like kindergarten kids!
Take it easy.

JD, Did you not realise that we are masters at everything. Even if we have been only doing it for less than 5 minutes. And there's always someone who knows more than someone else.. especially on this forum.
However, Good that you are learning a new skill Derek. You can never have enough education.
Dreamweaver is the standard in the industry but on its own there is not much relevance. You need to know about CSS Style sheets, Fireworks would also be a good one to learn for graphics as well as photoshop. Then there are server settings from windows to linux. Depending on what you are running on thw site to apache... Yes I wont go on I could quite easily.
Don't forget some basic HTML language. This will only give you the very basics for web design. if you wanted to branch out on it you would need to know about SQL Structured Query Language and database design. I wont go into too much detail as I would lose you all. Then there is obJect Orientated Programming known as OOP... LIST IS ENDLESS.
It is a field I have experience in and have worked for many blue chip companies and still do the odd freelance for them.
You would need more than a 10 week course and until you have at least 2- 5 years solid day in day out you will not even know what to do correctly. There is so much to learn and it cannot be obtained on short courses. And you certainly wont become an expert after completing a course even if after 12 months.
That does not mean to say you wont be able to do a website anyone can just not necessarily in dreamweaver.
Best of luck
Dave
