The course was very informative and gave me an understanding of how to manage our website effectively and efficiently
Was a very comprehensive course and was a great starting point to learning wordpress, with a great level of content for a beginner.
Andy was super thorough, took his time with each of us so we could get the most out of our course individually. It was really well structured going from making a website start to finish, not only the instructions to do so, but understanding why were doing the functions.
Excellent course, takes you right through the basics and gets you started on your feet to know whats required to build a website.
John was very thorough and covered a comprehensive range of topics, regarding WP dashboard, themes, plugins, widgets, page functionality, and menus. He introduced us to groups, forums and socials to access additional support, help and learning.
I am so pleased I undertook this course. John is a generous presenter, patient and easy to follow. His ability to engage with all participant levels across a range of topics made for a positive learning environment.
A great course that provided the exact details and information I required and needed to make edits and add-ons to our company website.
I found this course very informative, engaging and practical. It has given me more confidence and direction to tackle, build and improve the content and administration of my website.
I thought it was worth the time, however, I did find it a bit slow because some parts were self explanatory but overall really liked it.
Bel is thoroughly knowledgable and has been an wonderful source of information. She explains things so well and in a manner that is understandable. I was rather concerned I would be overwhelmed but Bel has given me so much more confidence and made it a lot less intimidating. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone and I look forward to seeing her in the advanced WordPress course!
The course was very detailed and engaging. i now feel as though i have the knowledge of how wordpress works and to get get a websie up and running. The training was a mix between theory and practical which i enjoyed. Belinda is great !
I enjoyed this course. Belinda explained everything very well. I will definitely be able to take these new tips with me in helping my company with our website. I enjoyed learning about the CSS and coding part. There is a lot to it and I know it is explained in the advanced class so it may be something I will look to do in the future.
This was a very detailed course which definitely covered the core essentials of Wordpress. Belinda was a great instructor who was engaging, shared interesting anecdotes and was very knowledgable. Having the practical component kept me much more engaged than if it were a self-paced online video course. My only suggestion is to have a longer lunch break of one hour, as there's a lot of content to process and work through.
I really like lessons and Belinda was very resourceful, smart and helpful Although, it was a bit hard for me due to English is a second language, i think i need shorter seminar options Belinda will send us more materials and this is great! I am very happy i got enrolled
Really great course! Found it was very well organised and level of information, communication,and humour was excellent. I’m also conscious of this as have done two instagram courses with another company and they were not good at all. Will be recommending to others!
