We are very excited to announce a brand new Yoast product. As of October 12, 2015 Yoast will start offering complete online SEO courses! Following such a training will teach you all about SEO and website optimization.

We are currently finalizing our first training which is called Basic SEO. For now, we are thrilled to show you our first video, in which Joost announces our Basic SEO Training:

Note: as mentioned, this training is not yet available. It will be available for purchase starting from October 12.

Basic SEO Training

The basic SEO Training consists of 5 modules: Introduction to SEO, Keyword Research & Site Structure, Technical SEO, SEO Copywriting and Usability & Conversion. These 5 modules each consist of instruction videos (about 20 minutes each), lots of reading material and questions. In order to answer the questions correctly, you really have to dive into the material. Jaro, our educational scientist (and awesome colleague) made sure the questions will surely challenge you. You will be forced to actually learn a lot!

After completing all modules, you will receive a Yoast Basic SEO Certificate and a Badge to put on your website. The Yoast Basic SEO Training comes with two complimentary eBooks (Optimize your WordPress site and Content SEO) and will be offered for the price of $299. Be quick though: during the first two weeks (October 12 through October 26), you will be able to buy and follow our course for only $249!

More courses to come!

Last spring, we started developing our online courses. We hired Jaro and started working together with Eyes & Ears (a local company specialized in shooting awesome videos). We have big plans to develop more online SEO courses. We are currently working on a training about Usability and Conversion, a Blog SEO training, and a Technical SEO training.
