    This class is exactly as it is described: a comprehensive introduction to creating a website or blog with WordPress. The instructor was engaging and students have the chance to practice the techniques discussed. I would recommend this course for anyone looking to start WordPress!

    I was disappointed with the course I bought because prior to my decision making of buying this course, I read your description where it clearly stated that the course was intended for people with no experience on computer graphics or coding. I felt very lost throughout the class as I do not have any knowledge with these areas and therefore felt behind in many of the teachers explanations. Furthermore, the course was U$325,00, which should have exceeded my expectations.

    It was a great experience taking this Wordpress course. It was very informative and the instructor was very patient with both tech on non-tech savvy students. The course gives you great groundwork to build your own website and/or blog, I highly recommend it.

    I really enjoyed this day-long intensive WordPress class, Scott is very knowledgeable & helpful on all aspects. One suggestion: a printed hand-out of the material covered and the manual pages (which Scott was calling out across class as we worked on specific elements). That would be helpful because more than taking notes as you go through this class, practicing WordPress on your workstation is the point.

    The teacher was very knowledgeable and the class was small enough that he was able to teach not only what was covered in the syllabus, but also a few things I needed to know for what I would be using WordPress for. It was fast paced, but in depth enough that I didn't feel lost. Overall, I feel like I got a lot out of the class.

    Even though I have been using PPT for 10+ years, I should have taken the Intro level course first. All four students seemed top be in the same boat. Instructor was very good, he did move a bit fast at times but always asked if there were any questions - sometimes you don't want to hold up the entire class with a question. It was a small class so there was an opportunity to ask was was important to each of us, But the agenda was strictly adhered to. For example,. I don't believe any of us needed to learn about inserting audio files or timed slideshows for kiosk use.

    Scott was nice and answered all my questions. I think the course could be more clearly described as a second level basics. The outline of what you'll learn should be more clear before you go into the day so you can decide if it will be beneficial to you. If you're looking for a course on powerpoint design, this is not for you - this will teach you in about the capabilities of powerpoint, but not guide you in designing effective and convincing presentations.

    Very informative if you know NOTHING about WordPress. Will teach you basics & how to make your site look Presentable/Dynamic. Teacher was very helpful, spoke wonderfully, & answered any questions that we may have had. It was a small class of about 5 people, which i enjoyed, makes the class seem more focused and it helps with people trying to chat with each other. The discussion flowed very easily and he helped me understand everything, even things i thought i knew. It has definitely made me take a step back & slow down when it comes to my site. I took a lot of of this class and plan on applying it to my current job. They also provided coffee, water, and snacks. Which was greatly appreciated. We got 1 hour lunch around noon. Its in the middle of 14th st union sq. so there are plenty of food options. - **I Wish there was an extension to this class :)

    I thought that Scott was very good at getting us to understand the basics that allow for us to produce a high end website. He gave us tips and best practices when it came to WP specific needs, such as plug-ins and template options, and was able to answer all of our questions. I come from a digital production background, so I was able to grasp the technical aspects of this class very quickly.

    Overall, the class was great and I really enjoyed it. I do think that it could have been about an hour shorter though. The last hour was the least informative of the entire class. I could see how it would belong in a beginner or intermediate class but for an advanced class it seemed more of a time filler. Also, the instructor was nice but at times a little condescending. He does this for a living. I get it. But not all of us know the ins and outs of every computer program and operating system.
