What you will be able to do
- Install and configure WordPress on hosting
- Choose and customise a theme without breaking it
- Build pages, menus, blogs and contact forms
- Install and evaluate plugins safely
- Back up, update and secure a live site
The deliverable
Certificate requirement
A live business website
A published multi-page WordPress business site with navigation, blog, contact form and working backups, on real hosting.
How the course is assessed
Level 1
Know
You can explain the concept, name the tools involved and recognise the difference between doing it well and doing it carelessly.
Level 2
Do
You can perform the task independently, without the instructor repeating the steps, and fix the obvious problems when they appear.
Level 3
Create
You can use the skill to produce something a real person would pay for — a document, a design, a website, a report, a repaired machine.

WordPress — questions
The things prospective students actually ask before enrolling.
Do I need to know how to code?+
No. WordPress is built to work without code, and this course is taught that way. Understanding HTML and CSS from Web Design makes you significantly more capable — especially when a theme does something you need to override — but it is not required.
What does the hosting cost?+
Nigerian shared hosting for a small WordPress site typically runs a few thousand naira a month, and a .com domain roughly ₦10,000–₦18,000 a year. You can build everything on a free local install first and only pay when you launch. We show you both paths.
