Hi Phil, this training has come at the right time for me, though I got stuck on the part where you import through google it couldn't find my website, so I have to add my url manually.
Don't why I have done GA and GSC. and I am signed up for those. So I went back to WA training level 5, 9 of 10 to follow the coding version and can't find once in Theme editor the </head> bit before the 'body' in the script to add the meta tag coding.
Is there another way to do this, but the easy way? hope it makes sense. Thanks Phil.

Is your website registered with GSC? That's the vital step. If it is, BWT should find it and automatically authorize it.
If you're going to edit theme files, you need to do it in a child theme. Otherwise you will lose your changes when the theme is updated.
Was it the header.php file you were editing?

Ok I will go back and look into this and follow steps you recommend above, maybe I have overlooked something.
As for header php file, I was following tutorial by Kyle and my theme site doesn't show that bit, so don't want to mess with code. Will get back to you if I get success. Thanks Phil.

Hi again, I just checked everything and I logged in with another account and bingo! I got into Bing webmaster tools, it just took me there without having to do import or add url.
So it looks like I have done everything through previous training, but never looked at it much as I've been trying to build up content on my site.
Thanks though Phil for your super easy training.
One thing, how should I be using Bing, is it about checking how things are, just like Google Analytics etc?
There were a couple of issues with SEO, I may have to ask site support for help.
