Cincinnati Drupal Intermediate Training

Drupal Training in Cincinnati

Drupal is one of the best and most popular ways to build a website. It is flexible, scalable and is continuously improved by thousands of people around the world.

Drupal powers some of the largest sites on the web and is being widely adopted by organizations from small businesses to the White House and leading U.S. government agencies and companies such as eBay, Sony and the New York Stock Exchange.

Our Drupal Intermediate Class is aimed at increasing the skills of people who will be building and maintaining Drupal sites. You will learn how to use three of the most important Drupal tools: Fields, Views and Panels.

Why Attend the Drupal Intermediate Class?

1 The class is taught by an experienced Drupal instructor who will teach you the essentials of building more advanced sites through the use of Fields, Views and Panels.
2 Our teaching style is entirely hands-on. You'll have a Drupal site in front of you and will be actively working and learning throughout the class.
3 Because learning is a continual process, all students will not only go home with a book that reinforces the concepts covered in class, they also get six months of access to our online training videos and online support forum.
