WordPress & LMS team training — not a slide deck adapted overnight

A training day built around your team’s actual work — not a slide deck pulled from a template library and adapted overnight.

Campbell (tenfold attendance growth) · federal departments (Government of Canada, CS-03 level) · higher-ed institutions · MA Candidate in Learning & Technology, Royal Roads University (2025) · Lead instructor at the M.L.

The discovery call produces a written training brief for your team. Yours to keep, whether or not you book delivery.

What happens when training does not stick

The training happened. The facilitator was engaging. The participants said it was useful. By the following Wednesday, nobody had changed how they worked. The deck is in a shared drive somewhere. That is not a training problem — it is an instructional-design problem. Generic content, delivered to a generic audience, produces generic retention.

The sessions here are built around your team’s actual roles, tools, and workflows. The exercises map to work they will do next week. The Q&A is pulled from the room, not from a script. The goal is what your team can do on Monday morning that they could not do on Friday.

What I deliver

  • WordPress and content management: Scoped to your install, your theme, and your editorial governance rules. Authors, editors, admins, and developers each get material that maps to their actual role.
  • LMS and learning platform operations: For teams administering or building on LearnDash, Sensei, LifterLMS, or Moodle — user management, course setup, reporting, and governance.
  • Microsoft Office suite: Excel, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint — structured courses from foundations to advanced data and presentation work. Available as catalogue delivery or scoped to your team’s version, templates, and workflows.
  • Instructional design and L&D methods: For teams building internal training capacity. How to structure a session, how to write assessments that measure the right thing, how to close the gap between “trained” and “doing it.”
  • Custom curriculum: For organisations with proprietary processes, tools, or workflows that off-the-shelf training does not reach. Built around the roles, and delivered to the team before anyone in the organisation reviews a generic course outline.

Who this is for

  • ✅ Teams of 3–12 where the training must be applied to your team’s actual tools and workflows — not a generic walkthrough of the platform in its default state.
  • ✅ Organisations onboarding a cohort to a platform they have deployed and need trained on consistently.
  • ✅ L&D leads who want a practitioner in the room — Lead instructor at the M.L. Campbell Training Centre, an MA Candidate in Learning & Technology, and a track record of programs that scaled.
  • ❌ Solo learners who want self-paced video content. This is live, instructor-led, team delivery.
  • ❌ Organisations whose actual goal is a signed training certificate rather than a measurable change in practice. I will tell you that on the discovery call.

Investment

Private team delivery is from $1,800 CAD per day for full-day, on-site or remote. The day rate covers up to 10 participants, including pre-session site review, custom session design, live delivery, recording, take-home reference document, and 30 days of email Q&A after the session.

Comparison table of four training engagement formats grouped by pricing model. Day-rate delivery group: Private Team Delivery from $1,800/day, Public Cohort per seat varying by event, In-Person Niagara from $1,800/day on-site only. Asset-build group: Curriculum Development $4,500 to $40,000 per project. The Pricing model row makes the split explicit: per day delivered vs per asset built. Below the table, a range-bar diagram shows the Curriculum Development sub-ladder on a $0 to $40,000 axis with three direct-labelled markers: Pilot $4,500 (single course or module, end-to-end design), Program $15,000 (multi-course curriculum with assessment design), Enterprise $40,000 (full internal capacity build with instructional-design transfer).
Four formats, four buyer needs. Day-rate delivery is not the same purchase as asset-build curriculum.
  • Private team delivery: From $1,800/day for the full-day, custom-scoped session. Niagara-region travel included. Beyond Niagara, travel and accommodation billed at cost with a written estimate.
  • Public cohort: Open-enrollment seats sold per-event on the training events calendar. Pricing varies by class and venue; see the individual event page for the seat price and what is included.
  • In-person Niagara: From $1,800/day for an on-site workshop in Fort Erie or the Niagara region — multi-day blocks priced at the same day rate, for organisations within driving distance who want the room together.
  • Curriculum development: Pilot $4,500 / Program $15,000 / Enterprise $40,000 — for organisations building internal training capacity that needs designed assets, not just facilitated delivery.

The senior-rate floor is $275 CAD/hr and informs every fixed-fee training quote. The discovery call confirms scope, format, and timeline before any commitment. See the canonical Training & Enablement service page for the full engagement shape and the WordPress training catalogue.
