Training

BuildAModule has a free training curriculum and innovative model that makes it easy for anyone to put on a free Drupal training covering any of the Drupal essentials. Called a 'Mentored Training', this training style leverages a flipped-classroom-like model to allow students of different experience levels to work together, and frees up trainers to help students one-on-one, 100% of the time.

While anyone can put on these trainings (and these trainings have happened over a dozen times in several countries around the world), BuildAModule often hosts these trainings at Drupal camp, conferences, or other events. See the URL for instructions on how to put one on yourself, or check out the calendar for upcoming public trainings.

Drupal contributions

We created a completely free training program and piloted a new training model - just for Drupal training - that will let anyone in the world learn Drupal site building, theming, development, and more. It's been used over a dozen times on several continents to train hundreds of people. The founder has also organized and trained at over half of those.

BuildAModule releases new free Drupal video tutorials on Drupal every week, and has contributed over 250 covering critical topics like building modules, theming, working with critical modules.
