How to access them

The free courses are listed on webyoda.com under its Free Courses section, with a separate "More Free WordPress Courses" entry. Paid web design courses are listed separately, so check which section a course sits in before starting. For certification-track study, WebYoda directs learners to its online academy at WOWacademy.com or to WOW Academy training centers.

Practical notes

  • The ecommerce course is marked "coming soon," so don't plan around it yet.
  • The free courses are video-based, which suits self-paced learning but means you'll need to follow along in your own WordPress or hosting environment to practice.
  • WebYoda states it has trained or certified over 23,000 webmasters in 100 countries; that figure refers to its certification program overall, not the free courses specifically.
