I think the most important is the portofolio. this tell what are you really good at. not all the studies and courses you took, etc. No. the portofolio says it all. this is the first thing I’m looking at when I’m looking for a web design company. if I like their work, ok. if not, I move on. I don’t even care how low are their prices or stuff like that

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your comment.

I’d say the portfolio is more important, almost certainly. This is what you’ll get hired on 99% of the time.

However, I do think a qualification opens doors for a person. If two people apply for the same position with similar experience and standard of portfolio, then a degree could be the difference between getting an interview or even the job.

Hi Jordan, interesting post. I have a question for you – how much do you think it matters that web designers have a formal qualification? Especially when trying to get a job or get work with a media agency or internet marketing business? Is the qualification or the portfolio more important?

Cheers for this, I wish I found it earlier, but I had most boxes ticked!

I landed a web developer job about 2 months after graduating.
