Web design vs front end development vs JavaScript

Since all three tracks cover different areas of html, css, and JavaScript is it wise to take all three tracks? And will will we be given credit for classes that we’ve already learned?

There's overlap in the tracks, in the end if it's wise to do all of them is up to you. I took all of the tracks you mentioned and even though I don't want to be a designer, I still found having an understanding of what goes into branding and design, as well as basic knowledge of some programs to be very useful.

Any course that you took an finished is kept track of. So even if you take it outside of a track, when you enrol, it shows that you've already done it. If it's also part of another track, it's marked off for both of them. I found that to be motivating actually; that 40 hour track that seems daunting might actually still have 30 or less hours left after you finish a few others because there's quite some overlap on the basic stuff.
