Currently, we have four courses in development. Here is an overview of what is being worked on and relevant links to follow if you want to learn more.
Block Development Course
@mburridge has completed the first draft of the course, and it is currently being reviewed. Please provide any actionable feedback in the GitHub Issue below by end of October. The plan is to publish it by mid-October, but any helpful observations will still be welcomed at any time as we iterate and update the course going forward.

Two Block Theme Development Courses
Create a Low Code Block Theme
@arasae Modules 1, 2, and 3 are all in rough-draft form; screenshots are needed, and video recordings are necessary to move them from rough drafts to drafts ready for review. Module #4 is being drafted through a live workshop on a user’s first codes in theme.json. She hopes to have modules 1 and 2 at least ready for team review this month.
Extend a Low Code Block Theme
@psykro has completed the draft content for the first module of his course and is working on the second module. During the process of doing this, he pivoted the content for the first module to be less dependent on the Create a Low Code Block Theme. This allows folks to take the second course independently from the first one (eg more advanced developers who already know the basics from online workshops or tutorials, and want to get straight into the topics in this course).
He is also considering renaming this course from Extend a Low Code Block Theme to Develop a Block Theme, as well as releasing this course as two separate, shorter courses.

You can also find out more about this course in a post titled Block Theme Development Course – Update which was added to the Make WordPress Training page.
WordPress Data in JavaScript
@adamziel has completed the course, and it is currently being reviewed. Please make any suggestions in the GitHub Issue below. The plan is to publish it by the end of September or early October, but as mentioned before, any helpful feedback will still be welcomed at any time as we iterate and update the course going forward.
