The live workshops are held once every two weeks. Each session advances a defined milestone, while the time between sessions is used for attachment work, evidence gathering, stakeholder consultation and revision.
Want a portfolio & career placement?
Pair this course with an Equinet Career Programme
This course builds your capability and certifies you. It does not include a project-based capstone, client placement, or career coaching. Our Career Programmes are built for that: three months on a real project brief, your own product idea or a host organisation, with dedicated career support and mentorship throughout.
Many graduates take both: the course for the certification and capability, a Career Programme for the portfolio case study and placement. Speak to a course consultant about the combined pathway.

No. This is an applied capstone for learners who have already met the required ecommerce knowledge and skills through an approved diploma, certification or equivalent pathway. It focuses on applying that capability to a real industry brief and building assessed portfolio evidence.
Admission depends on whether the prior programme covers the required knowledge and practical skills. Equinet Academy will review your background, relevant work and industry attachment before confirming entry.
Yes. You must have a confirmed and approved three-month industry attachment before the capstone begins. It may be completed through an internship, freelance project or approved workplace brief and must provide a genuine ecommerce challenge suitable for assessment.
Not necessarily. The attachment partner must provide a real business brief and enough access for the approved project. Depending on the scope, you may work on an existing store, a new store or channel, a marketplace account, or an implementation-ready improvement plan.
The platform track depends on the approved attachment and may include Shopify, Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, Amazon or another relevant channel. The capstone focuses on making defensible platform and commercial decisions rather than covering every platform superficially.
Where the host provides access and permission, you may build or improve storefront pages, product listings, merchandising, promotions, advertising or reporting. Where live access is restricted, you may produce implementation-ready mock-ups, plans, workflows and recommendations supported by real business evidence.
You will produce an ecommerce project plan, evidence-backed audit, customer and channel strategy, storefront or campaign deliverables, measurement and optimisation framework, portfolio-ready case study and final presentation. The exact evidence will reflect the approved platform and attachment scope.
Yes. It is delivered entirely online through six live trainer-led sessions, 2 hours of self-paced e-learning and a live online final assessment.
The fortnightly structure gives you time to apply each session’s guidance to the attachment project, gather evidence, consult stakeholders and revise your work before the next milestone review.
There are two approved assessment methods: an Individual Project Presentation and an Oral Questioning Assessment. They are conducted within the same 2-hour live online assessment sitting. Your project plan and portfolio case study are submitted as supporting evidence; there is no separate second assessment session
Only information permitted by the host organisation may be included. Confidential data must be removed, anonymised or presented in an approved aggregated form. Verified results should be clearly distinguished from forecasts or recommended improvements.
No. The Ecommerce Career Programme provides structured portfolio review and placement coordination, but employment is not guaranteed. Outcomes depend on portfolio quality, demonstrated performance, role alignment, employer requirements and market conditions.
Real projects can change. Inform the instructor promptly so the brief, milestones and assessment evidence can be reviewed. Any revised scope must still provide sufficient evidence for the learning outcomes and remain approved by the relevant organisation.
