WordPress Credits is a contribution-based program supported by the WordPress Foundation that brings students into the heart of the WordPress open source project.
Please note that the “WordPress Credits” course is not an open-access program. It is a specialized initiative designed for educational institutions.
What is the WP Credits Program?
The WP Credits Program is an innovative global project that partners with universities to integrate WordPress into their curriculum. The program provides professors and students with the resources, training, and official recognition to work on real-world WordPress projects for non-profits, contributing to their digital presence while gaining valuable, accredited experience. It’s a unique blend of academic learning and contributing back to the open-source ecosystem.
How to Participate
If you are a student or professor interested in bringing the WP Credits program to your university, or if your institution is already considering it, participation requires a formal application.
Access to this course and the broader program is granted only to approved partner universities. To express interest and begin the application process, the relevant faculty or administrative staff from your university must complete the official interest form.
We appreciate your enthusiasm for learning WordPress and contributing to the community through this impactful program.
