Common questions
- How is the self-paced course different from live training?
- The self-paced course is one person at their own desk, on their own schedule, working through 27 video lessons over a weekend or a quarter — whichever fits. Live training is a scheduled session, usually with a team, where questions get answered as they come up and the curriculum can bend to the room. Same instructor, same source material, different shape.
- What do I need to start?
- A WordPress site you have admin access to, and the willingness to click around in it while you watch. The course is written for the person who got handed the keys to a site; if that is you, you already have what you need.
- Is there a group rate for my team?
- For three or more seats, the right shape is usually the live instructor-led version at $495 per seat — the questions a team has are usually different from the ones a solo learner has, and the live format earns its price for that. Email me and I will scope it.
- What if I am already partway through learning WordPress?
- The first two lessons are free, and they sit at the very beginning. Take them. If they cover ground you already have, the rest of the course probably does too — and a 20-minute scoping call would be a better fit than this product.
- What if it is not the right course for me?
- Fourteen-day, no-questions refund on every course. Start the first module — if it does not earn its place, email me inside two weeks and I send the money back.
