I was a teacher. In my experience, most teachers have no clue as to
what is or is not required. After all, if they knew how to succeed it
is unlikely they would put up with the grief that is teaching. (which is
why I got out). Ask yourself, why is my teacher teaching instead of
pursuing a lucrative web development career?
Furthermore, due to the inertia of the system, any qualification you
achieve could easily be five years out of date. One qual I was teaching
never mentioned CSS at all.
Competent web designers these days /have/ to understand accessibility.
To do that they have to understand HTML and CSS. Additionally you'll
find it useful to learn a scripting language.
Your chances of success will be much improved if you learn these skills
