"Ben did an excellent job with presenting the WordPress material and making certain that the students were understanding everything. He also focused more on the areas that the students needed and wanted. I feel like I'm at a place where I can really use my WordPress skills. Ben provided us with a lot of great resources going forward and he emailed us additional training notes." - Tony B
