Included with every seat

Their day one is your pre-flight

Most two-day courses spend the first morning on logging in and finding the dashboard. We do that before you arrive — in about 45 minutes, in your own browser, at whatever time suits you.

It is a real WordPress, not a video of one. You click the actual buttons. Nothing to install, and nothing that can touch your live site.

What you’ll do

  1. Check your browser
    A quick check that your computer can run the practice WordPress. Better to find out now than the night before.
  2. What WordPress actually is
    Two minutes on what you're working inside, and who owns which part of it.
  3. Log in
    Your own WordPress, running in this browser tab. Log in for real.
  4. Tour the dashboard
    Where everything lives, and what the admin bar is for.
  5. Posts vs. pages
    The single most common beginner confusion, cleared up in two minutes.
  6. Publish a page
    Write it, lay it out, publish it. Then you've done the whole loop.
  7. Your one question
    What's the one thing about your site you want fixed? This becomes the class agenda.

The last step matters most

We ask one question: what is the one thing about your site you want fixed? Those answers become the agenda for the day. It is the reason a small cohort taught by the person who wrote the material beats a large one taught from a script.

Questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. The practice WordPress runs inside your browser tab. There is nothing to download, no account to create, and nothing touches your real website.

What if my work computer blocks it?

We check for that at registration rather than on class night, so we usually know weeks ahead. If your browser cannot run it, we switch you to a video version of the same material automatically, and we will have a practice site ready for you on the day.

What if I do not finish it?

Come anyway. The day is built so it still works for someone who skipped the pre-flight — the first block recaps the essentials. You will simply get more out of it if you have done the 45 minutes.

Is it really required?

Yes, and that is deliberate. In a room of ten, the two least-prepared people set the pace. The pre-flight is what lets day one start where most courses finish.
