Experience learning in a totally new way with ‘flipped’ training

This innovative course is a ‘flipped’ virtual training that combines self-paced learning with weekly live virtual classroom sessions led by an expert Drupal instructor.

Each week you will do weekly self-paced learning and project assignments when it is convenient for you, and attend a scheduled 90-minute instructor-led virtual class session. Each session is a workshop where students ask questions, test their skills in applying knowledge, and interact with one another in hands-on activities.

Learning materials are provided through a collaborative online environment which enables instructor-to-student and peer-to-peer discussions throughout the week.

This is a project-based course and each student must build their own Drupal 8 site. After purchase you will be given the class syllabus which details the weekly material.
