Comprehensive Skill Acquisition: Users appreciate that the course starts from scratch and gradually progresses to advanced topics, allowing beginners to develop a strong foundation and gain deeper skills in WordPress.
Suitable for Beginners: Users find the course suitable for beginners, as it provides clear instructions and covers all the main topics necessary to learn WordPress.

Difficulty for Non-Programmers: Some users mention that the PHP overview session can be challenging for those without programming experience, making it harder to understand the code behind websites.
Lack of Clarity in Explanations: A few users feel that the explanations in the course were not always clear, and the teacher could have provided clearer goals and visual examples at the beginning of each lesson.
