A lot of WordCamps and WordPress meetup groups hold beginner workshops. Unfortunately, most of those aren’t recorded. In this article, we will share free WordPress training videos that covers all the topics discussed in a WordPress beginner workshop.

How to choose the best WordPress hosting? – We recommend either Bluehost or Siteground.
How to install WordPress?

How to attend WordPress Beginner Workshop LIVE
The best way to attend a live WordPress beginner workshop in person is to find a WordCamp or a WordPress meetup group near you.
WordCamp is a non-profit conference that focuses on everything WordPress. There is a WordCamp held just about every week worldwide. You can see the full schedule to see if it’s in a location near you.
Alternatively, you can find a local WordPress meetup group in your area. Currently there are more than 490 local WordPress meetup groups in 59 countries.
Unlike WordCamps, WordPress meetup groups are smaller and provide greater opportunity for beginners to interact and mingle with the WordPress experts in their area.
It’s important to note that not every WordCamp or WordPress meetup group hold beginner workshops. You should check the schedule to make sure it’s being offered.
If it is not, then you can always contact the organizers to see if there is a possibility for them to offer a live beginner workshop. Most of the time, meetup and WordCamp organizers are very receptive to suggestions.
We hope that you found our WordPress training videos as a helpful replacement of WordPress beginner workshops. You should also check out our article on how to learn WordPress for free in a week or less.
