How will the session work?
This is a live hands-on training session delivered over Zoom during which you will be able to ask questions and talk to the trainer. It is a good idea to have two screens if possible so that you can keep the training window visible while working on the hands on elements of the course.
We’ll record the session and you’ll have access to the video afterwards so you can watch back any bits you want to see again. You’ll also get a copy of the slides used during the session.
What previous attendees say about this training
Thanks so much for my SEO for WordPress training session - it coincided beautifully with the launch of our new WP website so I found out lots of information and practical tips. I have a long to-do list of things I want to investigate further...and now feel confident and knowledgeable enough to move forward. Thanks again
