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.

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.

(4.60 out of 5) [ 09 April, 2025 ]

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!
