Training a person or group in a technical skills like WordPress is no longer just the work of your friendly neighbourhood web developer, designer or guru. With increasing frequency, employees, friends and generalists familiar with the technology are being called upon to teach their peers.

While many of us in these situations have a strong working knowledge of what we’re being asked to teach, how confident are we when it comes to transferring our skills and training someone else?

During this session you will receive a crash course in the fundamentals of effectively teaching WordPress including:

1. Making your training sessions memorable and engaging (Don’t just be live. Be ALIVE!)
2. Teaching a technical skill to a non-technical person and how we learn (Is a slide deck REALLY the best way?)
3. Setting learning goals and objectives
4. Which WordPress points to cover based on the time available and the homework to send home
(i.e. 8 hour seminar vs. 2 day course vs 8 week course)
5. Avoiding the next day time suck
6. In-class activity examples
7. The top questions all WordPress trainers should be prepared for
AND MORE! (Time depending)

Following the presentation you will receive materials to help you prepare and run your own WordPress classes and seminars.
