2. Onboarding Courses

In the onboarding practical training, the course is divided into three structured levels that increase in difficulty (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced).

I started with the Beginner level, where the course covers the most basic things you need to learn about WordPress, which helped me get familiar with the interface and overcome some of my fear of the unknown.

Then I moved on to the Intermediate level, where there’s a significant leap forward and you start delving deeply into WordPress’s features and how to use them correctly. While the beginner level teaches you how to navigate the dashboard, here the focus is much more practical and technical, teaching you how to make the most of the native tools the platform offers to shape and bring a real website to life.

Within this level, one of the key parts is that they explain in detail how to use Blocks (the native editor blocks). They teach you the logic behind this modular system, showing how to combine text, images, columns, and interactive elements to structure any type of page or article.

Upon finishing, I moved on to the Advanced level, a much more technical stage where the course focuses on optimization, security, and professional WordPress management. This is the level that truly teaches you to work “under the hood” and gives you the tools needed to manage large-scale projects with complete confidence and competence.

Additionally, I took the optional Developer and Designer courses. I liked the Developer courses best, since they explain how to create your own plugins, themes, etc., using programming.

I didn’t like the optional Designer course very much, since it was a sort of combination of what they cover in the intermediate course with a little more information.
