Extensible markup language (XML) is computer-based programming language used to assist with content syndication on websites. Professionals who program in this language are commonly called Webmasters. Training on how to master XML is available via a variety of outlets.

College

Both community colleges and four-year universities offer courses in computer-related studies that provide training in XML coding. These courses include computer science, computer engineering, information systems management and Web design.

Certification

Product vendors and professional groups provide coursework and testing in XML that can result in certification. Many of these courses are available online, while others take place in workshops. The length of XML certification programs vary, but typically last anywhere from several days to a few weeks.

On the Job

Webmasters aiming to become well-trained in XML applications can learn while on the job under the guidance of a supervisor, training manager or experienced worker.
