I liked Jose Cervantes’ simple and practical style of teaching Getting Started with WordPress because he breaks the process into doable smaller parts, while using a whiteboard with drawings and illustrations.
(Getting Started with WordPress, May 5, 2018, Downtown Los Angeles)
This was a great start for beginners like me but I also think it helped clarify WordPress for people who had a little bit of experience as well.

Jose delivered the best class I have taken at GA. His course was thorough, well planned, and concise. Jose genuinely cared about the material and our retention. As a fellow educator, his enthusiasm and care was extremely appreciated.

Loved the class and I’m ready to build WordPress sites.
(Getting Started with WordPress, September 13, 2016, Santa Monica)
I liked the class, and learned a lot. The instructor was great, and I feel like I’m now prepared to create a simple WordPress website on my own (before taking this class, I was quite overwhelmed trying to navigate it on my own). My only suggestion would be to make this a longer class, only because there is so much to cover.

Jose was very knowledgable and helpful with setting up a WordPress.org account.
(Getting Started with WordPress, August 13, 2016, Downtown Los Angeles)
The instructor was stellar! I would definitely take another class with Jose. I would love to have another afternoon session that picks up where this class left off.
(Getting Started with WordPress, June 25, 2016, Santa Monica)
The teacher was very knowledgeable, and I learned a lot. I like that he went around the room and had everybody share where they were at in relation to their experience with WordPress, and he made sure to address things that people wanted to know. I knew absolutely nothing about WordPress prior to this class, and it was a very valuable class for me.

I really enjoyed this class, especially Jose Cervantes as an instructor. I have taken several workshops and he is by far one of my favorites, very knowledgeable about the topics he is teaching, going even beyond what my expectations were, always offers practical examples for us to try and learn hands-on. On this particular class he was able to answer all of my questions and helped me understand the whole process. Really appreciate all his help, would take any workshop he teaches thank you.

The class was really great and exactly what I was expecting/needed. I’m really great at teaching myself how to do things but this was the jump start I was looking for to understand what php is for and how it is used. I’m really excited to take more workshops at General Assembly.
