Beer With Kyle - Rethinking the Core Training Design
Hey Everyone,
Today I’m walking you through the new core training module in the Wealthy Affiliate beta UX. I’ll show how it works and get your feedback.
Beer of the Week
First thing's first though, this week’s beer is the Berliner Pilsner by Howl Brewing, an indie small-batch brewery in Esquimalt, BC. It pours clear like a classic pilsner and tastes crisp with subtle fruit notes, surprisingly tasty for a small-batch experiment.
New Core Training Module
We’ve redesigned the core training experience to make it more intuitive:
- Direct Access: Core training is no longer hidden inside a hub. Now, when you click Core Training, you land immediately on your next lesson.
- Phase Layout: Training is organized into Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three. Each lesson appears in sequence, and checking off a lesson marks it complete.
- Resume Where You Left Off: Returning to the core training will take you back to the last unchecked lesson—so you never lose your place.
- Reset Option (Coming Soon): You’ll be able to reset your training progress if you launch a new website or hub, making it easy to start fresh on subsequent projects.
Improved Create Module
At the top you’ll see the Create module, where you can quickly post questions, create blog posts, or access drafts. We’re still refining the color scheme and layout to encourage more content creation.
Mobile Experience
Though I’m demoing on desktop, the mobile design is a major focus. Expect a sleek, intuitive experience on phones and tablets when the beta goes live.
Join the Beta & Share Feedback
We’re aiming for a mid-May release. Until then, I’d love your thoughts on:
- The direct-access core training layout
- The phase-based lesson structure
- The upcoming reset feature
- The new design of the core training (and menu) as well as the create module design

It makes a lot more sense to have it as its own menu item. In the hub it made no sense to me especially when you have already done a lot of the modules with a new hub you have to start all over again. So I believe this is a great improvement.
Yeah, for sure. Thanks for the feedback here, we are definitely on the same page, and this is something we wanted to update for awhile but it needed to come with a UX switch.
As always, appreciate your feedback An! :)
Hi Kyle!
Thanks for the update! As always, you and your team are always thinking about how you can improve the WA platform. I appreciate that.
It is great to be able to have easier access to the core training. The phase based feature is a great idea within the core training. I am happy with all the other added functionalities. The color scheme looks great! Simplicity is always the best!
Thanks again! Have a productive week ahead! Wishing you the very best!
Kind regards,
Nichola
Sorry I think I missed where the Traffic Training went.
Overall, I like the idea of core training being outside of the hub. I found that awkward when I recently returned.
I like the hub though. I think there is lots of value there. The niche research, etc. It was neat seeing all that there.
That's all I got - for now! Glad to see we're constantly trying to improve!
Hello Kyle,
The direct access core training will ofcourse make matters a lot easier for a lot of starters.
For me, the phase based structure is a boon.I was getting a bit impatient with it.
I am so glad that you thought of the reset feature. It will help all those who are brimming with ideas. I, am only sticking to my two niches till I really monetize them.
I guess the module will organize the training. It does seem to simplify things.
Thank you for being so proactive!
Sounds good Nita, and of course as you move through the phases you will get into the traffic and monetization elements of your business. Lots to look forward to as you move forward with your business.
Glad you approve of these updates and thanks for your feedback. :)

Hi Kyle! 😊
I actually have a little suggestion.
Is there a way to block or filter out some notifications?
Right now, I get alerts every time someone posts in a course I've already completed. So each time I log into WA, I have to go through 10+ unrelated notifications before I can focus on my work. 😅
It’s a bit distracting and feels like wasted time.
Would love to see a way to manage this better! 🙏
That said, I really appreciate all the work your team’s doing — the platform’s been super helpful overall! 💪
Absolutely, you are in full control of your notifications. Some are "system", ie posts or important messages from us, but you can manage of your email notifications within the account settings page:
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/home/my_profile
There you can set which type of email notifications you will receive and which ones you will not.
Also, the notifications that you get are dictate by who you follow here within the community, and one thing we will consider at some point is perhaps "consolidated" daily updates, with everything that potentially impacts you versus real time notifications (as an option).
Thanks for your feedback here Genie. :)
Thanks, Kyle 😎
