Training
DrupalEasy provides training and consulting, with a catalog of custom and public beginner to intermediate courses that fit into the work week, offered throughout the year including:
Drupal Career Online; (beginner)introduced in 2011 as the first and only state-licensed Drupal technical education training certificate program anywhere. The 12-week course teaches students about the basic building blocks of a Drupal site, how to extend Drupal with contributed and custom modules, how to theme Drupal, common development workflows, and how to interact with the community for sharing, support, and networking. The DCO includes online instruction; rich learning resources; community engagement; and required independent practical activity to encompass the required skills to be successful as an employee, independent contractor, consultant or small business focused on Drupal web development projects.
Professional Module Development; a 15-week continuing education course focused on modern Drupal development with concentration on code quality, automated testing, and sustainable developmen practices. Two versions of the course are available, including a comprehensive program and a lite format, to ensure participants have access to the level of training that best meets their needs to build skills and confidence.
Professional Single Directory Components; is designed for those who would like to transform their approach to Drupal theming and build better, more maintainable sites by bringing modern, component-based development practices directly into Drupal themes. After completing the course, students will be ready to start adding/using SDCs in new and existing Drupal projects. The 18-hour course is presented every other day in 3-hour sessions over 2-weeks, fitting nicely into the work week and allowing participants to put concepts into practice with access to the support of the DrupalEasy learning community. PSDC students create forward-looking SDCs that will be ready to use with current and future Drupal page building tools.
Custom training programs; Our extensive, comprehensive catalog of curriculum allows us to quickly and cost-effectively create custom training programs delivered live online or in-person, and includes all of DrupalEasy's signature learning resources including reference materials, screencasts, office hours and lesson guides. Programs can be developed for individuals, teams of all sizes, and as workshops at events or meetings.
Project Coaching; combines consulting and on-time training for individuals and teams needing help with specific tasks and development projects throughout any phase of site development projects. Coaching assistance includes help and training during discovery and planning, or technical assistance/coaching during development and migration. Our experience in teaching and guidance, as well as our Drupal expertise ensures you always have an expert on hand to ensure your project is developed using best practices, and your team develops their skills at the same time.Coaching sessions can be scheduled from several per week to monthly, as well as on-call to provide an expert to walk you through the how-to's and any issues that may arise.
All of our comprehensive curriculum is delivered live online or in-person by highly-regarded Drupal experts/trainers, and includes rich learning resources (reference materials, screencasts, and lesson guides) as well as the active and helpful DrupalEasy Learning Community. The Learning Community includes students and graduates of the long-form courses, as well as mentors and instructors, who support one-another in problem-solving and continual learning at weekly office hours and on social channels. Drupal Career Online and Professional Module Development are each offered twice per year.
