I was initially skeptical about taking an online course, but this experience has exceeded my expectations. The lessons were well-structured, and the instructor was very responsive and supportive.

The guided course video need to be updated to be in line with the current version of WordPress that is available. Other than that, very clear course, good for the basics.
