Training Phases: What will training consist of?
The training is structured in three distinct phases. Let’s look at each phase broadly.
Phase 1: Revision of Engineering and Web Fundamentals & Pre-Assessment [0.5 months]
This phase focuses on essential engineering and web development principles, reinforcing core concepts to build a solid foundation for WordPress training. It also helps the L&D team assess your current technical skills and knowledge. Topics such as databases, security, web fundamentals, and programming languages are covered.
Phase 1 includes:
- A refresher course on Engineering Basics.
- Implementation of PHP knowledge on project assignment.
- Assessments:
- Successful implementation of PHP to develop a user-facing application.
- Multiple choice quizzes on programming languages [ PHP, CSS, JS, HTML, and MySQL].
- Interview-style[ Q&A-based ] assessment.
Following the recap, a pre-assessment will help the team gauge learner’s understanding and readiness, identifying areas for growth and focus in upcoming training.
Phase 2: Enterprise-Level WordPress Development Training [3.5 months]
In this training phase, you’ll begin by learning WordPress from a user’s perspective before moving into developer mode. You’ll be trained as a full-stack WordPress developer, with the curriculum advancing from basic to advanced levels. Starting with backend fundamentals, you’ll progress to frontend concepts.
Once you’ve built a solid foundation in WordPress, the curriculum will expand to cover key skills such as React, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, Full Site Editing (FSE), fundamental principles of data migration, and more in this phase.
