(5.00 out of 5) Holly M [ 09 December, 2019 ]
Taught me exactly what I needed to update my website and gave insight into the behind the scenes set up also.
(4.90 out of 5) Sam R [ 09 December, 2019 ]
Terrific course, well presented by an expert practitioner. I learned a great deal that I needed to know. Lots of great examples and practical experience. I do think that anyone with basic PC knowledge (criteria for the course) would struggle to keep up. Our instructor was very kind and patient with our slowness, with excellent explanations, however our class had actual experience of WordPress and still battled a bit to keep up. A lot was covered - perhaps a bit too much, particularly if someone had no previous knowledge of WP. A great offer to be able to resit within 8 months. An excellent course.

The content and presenter were great. So much useful information both for WordPress Essentials and how to generate business.
