I think this course was really enjoyable and a great refresher. They great thing about quality courses is that even when you think you know all the material, the explanations of the basics gives you a reinforced understanding of the whole of WordPress which I find is what give this course great value.

course was great - lots of valuable information - last afternoon was probably a bit too heavy - perhaps we could have lengthened Thursday afternoon rather than friday - but overall really good. belinda was very patient and explained things well.

Belinda has a fantastic knowledge which she delivers really well. I would have liked more time to think through what I was doing. The test of the course will be over the coming weeks. She showed so much that I can be capable of.
