Testimonials
“Recently completed Jamie’s WordPress 1 day course. It blew my mind – and I’ve been in IT all my professional life. I was amazed at what WordPress is capable of – within minutes we were creating websites! Jamie is an excellent teacher; his friendly approach and encyclopedic knowledge really helps his students learn.”
Oscar Monteiro, IT Programme Office Manager, Hackney Borough Council
‘Pretty much everything I needed to know to get a professional, optimised and money earning web presence in less than six hours. I have spent thousands on websites in the past and had no idea that with WordPress, and some good coaching, I could be the master of my own online universe. Thanks Jamie.’
Tally Wade, Editor – Western Horse UK
“Thank you for the WordPress course, it was excellent. I was surprised at how much was covered in a day, and to end up with aworking website at the end of the day was a real bonus. I looked at various other companies offering similar courses, but I chose Pootlepress because of Jamie’s background and experience in the industry. My choice was well-founded as Jamie was able to add value beyond the basic training by recommending plug-ins based upon real experience, suggest themes and explain how to optimise Google ranking amongst other things. Excellent value, and great professionalism.”
Peter Cliffe, Quality Assurance Manager, Unilever PLC
I would thoroughly recommend Pootlepress WordPress Training. Through their clear and comprehensive teaching methods I was able to understand, in just one day, the capabilities of WordPress and acquire the tools to build a WordPress site from scratch. Thank you enormously.
Andie Page – Designer
“As a WordPress newbie starting on my own journey of creating sites for others, I cannot thank you enough for this great introduction of WordPress. Your course was very thorough, very informative and your hands-on approach made it so much easier to learn”
Mucha Murapa, Matrix Global Media
“Many thanks for yesterday’s training, I needed to fast-track my WordPress skills and making the effort to get to Cheltenham from my base in Newcastle was well worth the effort. I now feel as though I have the skills I need to use WordPress in my business safe in the knowledge that I can access the follow up resources that you provide.”
Gerry King, MD I-Netco Ltd
“Excellent WordPress seminar today @Pootlepress. Recommend: Jamie’s got guru level knowledge. Intend to dream of plug-ins tonight!”
Pippa Davies, aka Mrs Motivator
“Thanks again for a great course; you covered off very interesting topics and looking forward to attacking WordPress with more confidence in the coming months”.
Peter Bourne
“I went to Jamie’s day course in Cheltenham, which really explained clearly the basics of WordPress. After that I felt confident of being able to produce a very good website. Since then I arranged to meet Jamie for one to one private training to learn more skills. I not only had a really good time, I learnt loads and I will thoroughly recommend Jamie to anyone and will be using his skills again in the future.”
Chris Hyde
“Thanks Jamie – an inspiring course. Really enjoyed it.”
