The free hours training on WordPress was really useful, Lorna and the team took the time to explain all the basics and answer all questions. They're also happy to help with a lot more if required which is reassuring.

The training session started with clear goals and the two women running the session were focused and clear. I have just booked myself on to their Seo training session 🙂

The 'Getting Started on WordPress' webinar run by Rachel and her team was a very well spent hour that helped us to refresh our knowledge with the workings of WordPress and has given us the confidence to edit and update our existing website. We will certainly be checking out their other recorded webinars and would feel confident to ask for their help should we need it. Professional and precise

I did my first webinar with Awesome Tech Training yesterday all about getting started with WordPress. Not only was it a useful subject in my role as a Business Growth Specialist but it was well thought out and Lorna was an excellent presenter with the back up from Rachel and Steve providing a very slick process. Being shown how to do things is the way I learn, so watching Lorna demonstrate and explain live was very helpful. As a team they've thought of everything - including sending copies of the slides and a webinar recording to the attendees afterwards. They definitely deserve 5 stars in my opinion and will become one of my go-to resources!

I had attended a Wordpress Webinar which was very informative and inspiring. Afterwards I had a few questions on a website I had created a couple of years ago and arranged a one to one session with Steve who was brilliant with guiding me through the many questions I had on improving it. We were able to share my screen so I was able to make the changes myself with his guidance and expertise. A great way of learning. Steve was very friendly and helpful and as well as knowledgable. Would highlly recommend this company.

A really excellent webinar: “Getting started with WordPress”. As a Wordpress 'newbie' in just one hour I learned a great deal that I can put to immediate use. Very helpful and friendly tutors. Highly recommended.

Just attended the WordPress training - absolutely brilliant. I've attended plenty of webinars for various things but this one really stood out for the clear and clean presentation. I didn't even slope off for a quick cuppa half-way through...

I signed up for this free webinar mainly out of curiosity since our small family-run business website uses WordPress but is administrated by someone else. My coding for web design knowledge is minimal to non-existent (I am a primary school computing teacher). The webinar was perfectly pitched - Lorna Walker went from the very beginnings of setting up a WordPress managed website into some of the more technical featuers of adding content. Her presentation was easy to follow, she explained things clearly to a non-specialist like me and her patience with answering a host of questions at the end was fantastic. In the background, Steve Hanlon was answering a raft of questions in the Q&A which was excellent, saved time, added extra content for those who wanted/needed it. Reference was made to plugins that you might want to enhace your website with signposting to additional training, videos and blogs on Awesome Tech Training's own website. All in all, a phenomenal amount of content was covered in a relaltively short (1 hour) webinar but it was easy to pick out what I needed and, from there, work out where to go for additional information. Not much is available for free these days - this is definitely a gem.

I signed up for a free WordPress training session and was dubious of the quality. After all - it was free and I expected a catch. I am so glad I attended! The training was so good - I learnt so much and all my questions were answered. I will certainly be back for more training sessions on SEO, Linked In and Facebook for Businesses. The training is affordable unlike many other providers and is a reasonable length. Thank you so much!
