I am glad that I followed the recently concluded WordPress study program at the OpenArc Campus. It was more like a Workshop and individual attention was given to each participant. We were all beginners and at the end of the program we could all work independently and develop our own blogs. The Instructor’s style of coaching was excellent and he ensured that all participants benefitted by following this program.
