Drupal Training Series

Duration: 

4 Days

Summary: 

Benefit from a series of four carefully designed Drupal training days that fit together perfectly to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of Drupal along with the key skill-set needed to be able to tackle quite complex Drupal websites (and all without coding).

The three courses that make up this series can be attended perfectly well in isolation to the others - as long as "Drupal in a Day | Hands On" is attended first - as it is the introduction. This means you do not need to attend all four days in the same week, but, you can attend individual courses as and when it suits you.

This course is aimed at: 

All new to Drupal who want to gain comprehensive knowledge of Drupal and aqcuire key skills

Prerequisites: 

No prior experience with Drupal required (NO coding experience/skills needed). Experience with CMS systems, CSS, HTML & PHP useful but not essential.

Fee: 
£1,580 (inc). Booking for 2 attendees? Just £295 per seat per day!
Course Outline: 

SERIES OUTLINE:

DAY ONE: "Drupal in a Day (an introduction)"
DAYS TWO & THREE: "Drupal Site Building"
DAY FOUR: "Theming Basics for Drupal"

On day one the series starts with a broad ranging introduction to Drupal - "Drupal in a Day | Hands On" - equipping attendees with a firm grounding in the basics of this powerful website building framework (no coding skills needed).

Day two - "Drupal Site Building | Views, Field UI & Rules" - takes you deeper into the detail of Drupal - focusing on the key modules - Field and Views. You will learn how to define your own custom content types with the Fields UI and how to query Drupal using the powerful Views module (and helper modules) to display content in just about any way you wish (all without any coding). A thorough understanding of these modules is essential for all but the most basic Drupal websites.

On day three of the series (day two of "Drupal Site Building | Views, Field UI & Rules") You begin to build logic into Drupal using the Rules module so that your site can react intelligently to events and to really appreciate the awesome power of Drupal as a website application framework (all without any coding). We cover the flexible "Flag" module too.

We wrap up the series on day four with "Theming Basics for Drupal" where you discover the flexible theme layer for Drupal enabling you to readily achieve the look and feel you desire across the whole site and for individual components of the website too.

Completing this four day series will provide you with the essential skill-set to allow you to build really impressive Drupal websites quickly (all without any coding).
