Course Reviews
(4.60 out of 5) Naomi J [ 29 June, 2021 ]
Really great facilitator! Belinda was engaging and helpful, diving into more detail when it was needed and moving at a good pace.
Course content was well-paced for the two-day duration, and we were offered plenty of support and resources to continue our Wordpress journey.
Download links sent before class sped up the process of getting straight in on day 1.
Breaks were well-timed in the day.

Belinda was an excellent trainer. The pace of the course was spot on and Belinda was great at engaging us for the tasks as well as providing real life insights to web development. I would love to do future courses with her.

Loved it. Belinda taught this course very well. I felt a good balance of being challenged yet being taught in a way that made it easy to understand. I would recommend this course to others.

Belinda has been great. I feel that I have learned a lot and hopefully will be able to apply what I have learned and build on that to develop websites in WordPress. Will definitely recommend this course.
