WordPress & WooCommerce course: complete guide to e-commerce

Five modules that take learners from WordPress fundamentals to advanced WooCommerce operations, subscriptions, and security.

1
What should a WordPress foundation module cover?

Students learn hosting, domain setup, WordPress installation, dashboard navigation, theme/plugin management, and basic security (updates, users, backups). Provide lab exercises: install a theme, add pages, configure menus, and update permalinks.

Include a glossary of WordPress terms so beginners follow along.

2
How do you structure the WooCommerce launch module?

Walk through WooCommerce installation, products, taxes, shipping, payments, and legal pages. Have learners build a test store, add simple + variable products, enable Stripe/PayPal, and run a test order. Assign a quiz on key settings.

Provide downloadable SOP templates for store setup so learners can reuse them later.

3
Which advanced features should the course teach?

Cover subscriptions, memberships, bookings, and B2B pricing. Demonstrate how to install Woo Subscriptions, configure renewal emails, and handle failed payments. Include tutorials on product bundles, composite products, and multi-currency support.

Offer capstone projects where learners set up a subscription box or membership site.

4
How do you address security and performance?

Teach best practices: backups, firewalls, malware scans, staging workflow, caching, CDN integration, and logging. Have learners configure a security plugin, enable two-factor auth, and run performance tests via PageSpeed Insights.

Provide a worksheet for documenting security checks monthly.

5
What does certification require?

Create assessments after each module, plus a final project where learners launch a staging store. Offer optional instructor review sessions. Provide a checklist they must submit (DNS, SSL, products, payments, security) before receiving a certificate.

Integrate with LMS platforms (LearnDash, TutorLMS) to automate grading and badge issuance.
