Frequently asked questions

How long does the WordPress e-learning course take?
The WordPress e-learning course takes around 8 hours and you follow it entirely online at your own pace. After activation you have access for a year, so you can work through and revisit the material at your leisure. The course is in English and consists of videos, quizzes, lectures and exercises with which you build your own WordPress website step by step.
Do I need any prior knowledge for the WordPress e-learning?
No, you do not need any prior knowledge for the WordPress e-learning course. The course is suitable for beginners who want to build their first website or blog. You do not need to know HTML or any programming language. It is useful, however, to have basic computer and internet skills, as well as a sufficient command of English, since the course is in English.
Is the WordPress e-learning course in Dutch or English?
The WordPress e-learning course is in English. You follow the videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises entirely in English, so a basic understanding of English is useful. The course remains accessible for one year after activation, so you can work through all the material at your own pace and calmly review any difficult parts.
How long do I have access to the WordPress e-learning course?
You have access to the WordPress e-learning course for one year, counting from the moment you activate the course. During that period you can repeat all videos, quizzes and exercises as often as you like. That way you set your own pace and can go through the material again at your leisure while working on your own website.
Which topics are covered in the online WordPress course?
In the WordPress e-learning course you learn, in order: getting started with WordPress, working with the WordPress Dashboard, publishing posts, using templates and pages, creating and editing pages, and using the WordPress Reader page. You work through these topics via videos, quizzes, lectures and exercises. After around 8 hours of study you will be able to build a complete website independently.
Do I receive a certificate after the WordPress e-learning course?
Yes, once you have completed the WordPress e-learning course you receive a certificate of participation. This certificate confirms that you have worked through the online modules and mastered the basics of WordPress, such as working with the Dashboard, posts, templates, pages and the WordPress Reader. A useful addition to your CV or LinkedIn profile to demonstrate your website-building skills.
What exactly can I build myself after the WordPress e-learning, and what falls outside its scope?
After the e-learning you can set up a basic WordPress website on your own: configure a dashboard, write posts, create and edit pages, work with templates and use the WordPress Reader page. You add text and images, create new pages and adjust content whenever you want. The course focuses on standard WordPress functionality and takes about 8 hours. Topics such as advanced PHP customisation, programming your own themes from scratch, complex WooCommerce webshops, expert-level SEO optimisation and server management or hosting configuration fall outside its scope. For business websites with simple to medium-sized content needs, this is sufficient. If you want an advanced webshop or bespoke functionality, you will need additional knowledge or a developer. The course is in English and remains accessible for one year.
When do you choose a WordPress e-learning and when does a classroom-based course make more sense?
An e-learning suits you if you can work independently, want to set your own pace and want to study flexibly alongside work or other commitments. You get around 8 hours of videos, quizzes, lectures and exercises, and you have access for a year so you can go over everything again at your leisure. That works well if you set aside an hour now and then and want to review the material again later. A classroom-based course makes more sense if you prefer to put questions to a trainer directly, want to bounce ideas off other participants or find it hard to keep up with self-study. The e-learning is in English, so some reading skills in English are useful. For anyone who mainly wants to build and experiment for themselves, the e-learning is the quicker and more flexible route.
What do I get in this WordPress e-learning course that I cannot get from free YouTube tutorials?
The e-learning is a structured programme of around 8 hours that covers the WordPress basics in a logical order: dashboard, posts, templates, creating and editing pages, and the WordPress Reader. You work with videos, quizzes, lectures and exercises, so you test what you learn straight away. With individual YouTube videos you miss that structure and you have to work out for yourself what is correct and what is out of date. You have access for one year from the moment you activate the course, so you can go back over sections at your leisure. The course is in English. Afterwards you will be able to set up a WordPress website independently, publish content and manage pages. Choose this option if you want to build a working site from A to Z in one self-contained programme.
Is a WordPress e-learning enough to build a business website, or will I still need a developer afterwards?
For a standard business website with information pages, a blog and a contact page, the e-learning is sufficient. In around 8 hours you learn to work with the WordPress Dashboard, posts, templates and pages, and the WordPress Reader page. With that you can set up a working site independently, add content and adjust pages as soon as you have news or new products. A developer does come in handy once you go beyond the basics: bespoke themes, links with external systems (CRM, ERP, payment providers), complex webshops or custom plugins. The course covers building and managing your site; programming in PHP or advanced server configuration falls outside its scope.
Which type of beginner is this WordPress e-learning course suitable for, and when is it not the right choice?
This e-learning is intended for absolute beginners who want to set up their own WordPress site or blog and learn step by step through videos, quizzes and exercises. You do not need to be able to write HTML. The course suits entrepreneurs, freelancers, hobby bloggers and employees who manage a simple site internally. The course is in English, so you need to be able to follow instructional material in English. The course takes roughly 8 hours and you have access for one year. The course is less suitable if you already have experience with WordPress and specifically want to learn about advanced theme development, custom plugins or WooCommerce, as those topics fall outside its scope. If you would rather have explanations in Dutch with a trainer present, a classroom-based WordPress course is a better fit.
How does WordPress compare to website builders such as Wix or Squarespace, and why do people choose WordPress?
WordPress is the most widely used content management system in the world and runs on an estimated 40% or more of all websites. The difference with Wix or Squarespace lies mainly in ownership and flexibility. With WordPress you manage your own site and can choose freely from thousands of templates and plug-ins, whereas Wix and Squarespace are closed platforms within which you work. Wix and Squarespace are often quicker to set up for a simple site, but you are tied to their system and subscription. WordPress requires a little more learning up front, but afterwards gives you more control over content, design and extensions. In this e-learning course of approximately 8 hours you learn, in English, to work with the dashboard, posts, templates and pages, so that you can set up and maintain a site yourself.
