The pandemic 2019 has made remote education aka online learning popular. Even after the pandemic ends, the education institutes may not give the practice of online education. Currently, most of the institutes organize online classes with the help of Zoom, Google Meet, etc. The classes last for half an hour. Frankly speaking, it impossible to learn a concept within half an hour. Because of some reason, teachers may/may not cover the topic in deep. Let’s consider an example of Java programming language. Java is a vast language. It’s impossible for a teacher to teach everything about Java within a year even if the teacher teaches 1/2 hours daily on weekdays. Students will have to take a course to understand the topic in detail. If you know this very well, you’re planning to build a course website with WordPress but you don’t know which online course WordPress theme you should choose, go through the following list of themes:
Best WordPress theme for online courses

Masterstudy is the 2nd most popular online course WordPress theme. Thanks to some VueJS development done to the theme, it’s great.

Masterstudy comes with the Certificate builder tool. Once a student has completed a course, you can reward him/her with a certificate. For those who don’t know, certificates offered on completing of a course can help students or people get a job in some company if the institute or the person who is offering a course has good knowledge of the topic he/she is teaching via course. Masterstudy has an option to enable guest checkout. If the user likes your course but he/she doesn’t want to join your site as a member, you can use this feature.
