"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it"

As Pablo Picasso figured out, learning by doing can be an excellent way to get to master new skills.

However, this course will give you a shortcut to getting to know WordPress on a fast learning track.

Because I know exactly how you feel if you are new to WordPress and can't wait to get started, but it all seems a little too overwhelming.

That's how I felt too when first meeting WordPress and just wanted to make websites.

WordPress is relatively easy to learn, and with this online course, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to get started working with the website's content and administration.

Have a look at the course content and watch the video previews to really understand the power of this video-on-demand WordPress crash course for beginners.

Do you know that we continuously update the videos so that the content corresponds to the latest major version of WordPress?

We have made it completely free to enroll in the course. All you have to do is sign in or register for a free account.

One last thing. I assume that you have an up and running WordPress installation with the latest WordPress version to follow the course.

I welcome you to board.
