The WordPress website can be running on any local computer or one already set up by a web hosting company. Most people who take WordPress courses usually already have a WordPress site running, but in case you need one, students can download one for free at the WordPress downloads page and set it up using WordPress’ famous 5-minute installation. I also have lectures showing students how to install a WordPress site in this course as well. One other task that students need is either a LAMP setup on their local computer or one from one of the popular hosting companies who support WordPress. Last, but not least, you simply need the desire to excel at WordPress and to become a super WordPress administrator.
