Washington D.C. Drupal Beginner Training

Drupal Training in Washington D.C.

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 Beginner Class is aimed at getting Drupal novices up to speed as quickly as possible. You will learn the important basics of Drupal and by the end of the day will be able to successfully build a small Drupal site. This class is an excellent introduction for Drupal beginners.

Why Attend the Drupal Beginner Class?

  • 1 The class is taught by an experienced Drupal instructor who will teach you the essentials you need to know in order to get you started with your Drupal website.
  • 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.
