I've spent 9 years building up my experience of Drupal and will share my tips and tricks with you. This full day training workshop is a bargain at only £45 and will teach you to make the most out of Drupal.

Drupal is one of the most popular and powerful content management systems on the planet, understanding how to use it will give you the freedom to build websites with ease, make better decisions and speak more easily with Drupal and developers. Vital skills for anyone involved in a web project in any way.

This is suitable for all skill and experience levels, but not an advanced technical workshop covering custom module development or theming.
