# Small Electronics/Programming Training Business Using WordPress??

 * I want to start a site specific to a particular type of hardware and programming
   software.
 * Ultimately, I’d like to have the following sections where products and services
   can be offered:
    **– Courses on hardware and programming of microcontroller software(
   Main and first goal)** – Availability of individual Lab Exercises whrer students
   demonstrate skills learned. – Sale of microcontroller hardware – Sales of robotics
   and electronic kits – Related book sales (last choice – everybody else does that.)–
   Related ad links, like adSense.
 * All but the first would be add-ons to surround my main goal of training, so **
   my questions have to do specifically with training courses.****Question #1:**
   I’m told WordPress with a shopping basket is best for my particular type of small
   business site. I’ve purchased a site and I’m ready to install WordPress. Which
   shopping card add-ons should I research or consider?
 * **Question #2:** Is the following sequence reasonable (do-able) in WordPress??(
   I’m HTML, CSS and PHP fluent)
    a. Potential student selects an individual lesson
   in a course or the entire course. b. Student pays online (PayPal, credit card
   or whatever) c. With approved payment, student gets an access code or password
   that gives him/her access to the authorized lessons. d. Student demonstrates 
   course objectives by completing online quizzes/exams. e. When complete, student
   receives a completion certificate.
 * **Question #3:** There is a lot of info online about WordPress and blogging, 
   but there seems to be very little about the small one-man business with different
   related sales items as I’ve outlined above. Can anybody point me to a site or
   sites that have a similar concept? I’d like to see how others implement this 
   kind of small business.
 * **Question #4:** And lastly, but very specific… Any experience out there with
   online training classes using WordPress??

 * Hi Robotics Professor,
 * I think for the training and online quizzes etc you would be best suited to using
   moodle.
 * You can by all means use wordpress to content manage your main “sales” site and
   even do the ecommerce.
 * Most clients I work with use zen cart or something similar for ecommerce.
    Wp-
   ecommerce I have heard is a viable ecommerce platform for wordpress also.
 * You’ll need to look online for a way of integrating any ecommerce with moodle
   to the point where it auto creates a user and password for the customer and enrols
   them for all or some of your courses. If you know php this should be rather straight
   forward.
 * Then just create a wordpress theme and moodle theme to match. And your site will
   look seamless.
 * If you’d like to discuss further please let me know. Good luck.

 * Thanks! I’ll research moodle, Zen Cart and WP-Ecommerce.
