WordPress Training: Intermediate

Course Overview

The WordPress Intermediate course is designed for users who already understand the basics and are ready to explore more advanced tools and techniques. Over three intensive days, you’ll learn how to extend and customise WordPress to create more dynamic, flexible, and high-performing websites for professional or client projects.

You’ll begin by deepening your understanding of WordPress architecture, learning how to create and modify child themes safely and work with custom post types and fields. From there, you’ll move into plugin development, exploring how to add bespoke functionality and integrate powerful features.

The course also introduces WooCommerce, enabling you to build and manage a complete online store with products, payments, and order tracking. You’ll further refine your technical skills with advanced SEO strategies, caching, and performance optimisation, ensuring your sites run smoothly and rank higher on search engines.

Delivered in small groups at our London training centre or live online, this course blends instructor-led guidance with practical projects. By the end of the training, you’ll have the confidence to customise and maintain complex WordPress websites, implement e-commerce solutions, and manage ongoing performance, security, and scalability.
