Beer With Kyle: Big Training Platform Upgrade!
Hey everyone,
I'm excited to announce some major improvements coming to the Wealthy Affiliate training platform. We've been listening to your feedback, and we're making some big changes to make our training even more organized and accessible.
As you know (or may not), Wealthy Affiliate is packed with TONS of awesome training resources. But sometimes, it can feel a little overwhelming to find exactly what you need. We want to make it easier for you to discover the right training at the right time.
That's why we're introducing a brand-new training environment within the "Hubs" section!
This new environment is designed to centralize all of our educational content in a more logical and user-friendly way.
What's New?
Here are just a few of the exciting changes you can expect:
- A More Organized Layout: Say goodbye to scattered resources! The new training environment features a streamlined layout, starting with our core training. You'll be able to easily track your progress as you complete each module.
- Easy-to-Follow Training Paths: Whether you're interested in SEO, social media marketing, YouTube, or email marketing, you'll find dedicated training paths that cover everything you need to know.
- Integration of All Our Best Resources: We're bringing all of our training materials together in one place. That includes our expert classes, tutorials, blog posts, and even video shorts!
- Your Feedback is Key: We want to make sure the new training environment meets your needs. We're encouraging everyone to share their thoughts and suggestions so we can continue to improve the platform.
Why is This Important?
These updates are all about helping you succeed online. We want to empower you with the knowledge and skills you need to build a thriving online business.
By making our training more organized and accessible, we're removing roadblocks and making it easier for you to take action.
Stay tuned for more updates coming soon! We're committed to providing you with the best possible training experience.
I would love to hear your thoughts on training organization, so drop a comment below. Remember, your feedback matters!
PS. I apologize about the sound, it is a little off. I didn't realize my 8 year old was playing with all the settings on my mic yesterday until after I recorded the video! lol

Hi Kyle,
I think this will be brilliant and I know I will benefit, and as you mentioned WA has so much information it can feel daunting looking through things you've missed, but the designs you've mentioned is an early Xmas present for me, so cheers and lets keep rocking
Yes, it can be daunting to search as well as you get so much. So we want to highlight some of the key training within the Hubs environment so that after someone is completed their initial foundation, they are going to be able to utilize the other "traffic" training to scale out their audience. ;)
I like the look of this, Kyle.
What is coming up through the complete course seems very clear, which is great, not only when going through it for the first time but also when finding topics when using it as a refresher.
I look forward to the launch and having a better look.

Okay, I love this! So many times I have gone to watch a class on a topic that I know I need to learn more about, and it is either locked because of the level I pay, or it’s a class 3 of 5 and since the trainer usually references things from the previous trainings in the section, I feel the need to watch them in order.
I am very very very much looking forward to seeing what is deemed to be the “next step” training once the core training is done.
Personal note: I am someone who thrives with making lists and checking things off, so this is super encouraging and helpful for me to not only track progress but be inspired to go to the next step.

Thanks for your feedback and sharing your experience here Angela. We want to avoid that as well, where you feel locked out of certain training. We are going to help folks align with training that is going to really helping them scale their business, and traffic and do so right within hubs.
As we move forward, we want to make the training environments much more organized here, and customized (ideally) based on your level, what you are currently learning, and some things that you should be focused on learning. So expect this environment to evolve in a really positive way as we move forward. ;)
Love it!!
One suggestion I do have. For the goals you can write on your profile, I would LOVE a box to check that records the date of said goal. Then if is not met, offer a place to write comments on why, what you will do moving forward, maybe an option to put in a new date for the same goal or the option to change the goal to make it more obtainable.
Just thoughts

Good morning Kyle,
I hope you are all doing well.
Thank you for another update regarding the hubs. I appreciate that you are continually trying to improve things on the platform and I guess there has to be a lot of experimentation. I must admit I really like the idea of being able to integrate all the training into the hubs, as I think members could potentially be missing out or may not even be aware of all the training available. Definitely a big thumbs up for the new layout, etc.
I think the confusing part of the hubs is that for me, (maybe other members think the same, possibly), they are continually changing far too often. For example, when I go back to one of my older hubs, it doesn't take me back to where I left off on the training, it takes me back to the beginning. I'm guessing that this is because the training has been updated, which is kind of okay, but I think it may be frustrating or confusing for new members and people just starting out online.
I'm not trying to undermine the platform, this is just how I genuinely see it. Once again, I know that you are genuinely trying to make the platform as smooth and efficient as possible, and I guess this takes quite a bit of trial and error. But I do think it's good to be able to try and get back to where we left off in the training rather than having to go back to the beginning again.
Have a fantastic Sunday.

Maybe they can integrate a message when they make big changes that says - Hey we have made some big changes to the content, would you like to continue where you left off or start over to see these changes. Then you have a choice. Just a thought?
The training in the older hubs would be marked off (the tasks you completed), but there may be new tasks to complete with videos you haven's seen. They still store your history, so don't worry about that, but if we add new tasks to the mix, then you won't see these checked off.
Within the new environment, we are teaching the process and marking off the training is the same as marketing off the tasks. So that is what you will see.
I hope this clarifies for you and as always, thanks for your feedback here. :)
Good morning Kyle,
Thank you for confirming, it's appreciated.
So, how would I find my history, please, Kyle? I can't see how to get back to the previous training, but I'm sure there's a way! Most of my hubs take me back to the beginning, which is fine for me, but it may not be so clever for someone starting out on the platform.
It's definitely good to be up to mark off tasks, especially for new members, as they can watch themselves move forward as they take action.
Have a fantastic day.
Roy

I have the impression that you have gathered around you an excellent team of perfectionists who are never completely satisfied with what they have done. It's the same with this one. While you think you can do better than what has been done, you do it. Because of such your views, you belong to the top hosting in the world.
This shows that your goal is not only to make money, but also to provide your users with top-quality training.
That is exactly the case, we are never going to be content and we will continue to advance WA with every week that passes. Lots of exciting updates and improvements coming, and this is just one of them on the training side. ;)
