Who is it for?
- Anyone who wants to build a Drupal website for their organization or business.
- Web designers and developers looking to use Drupal with their clients.
- Website administrators tasked with maintaining and enhancing their existing Drupal sites.
This class is designed for people who have never worked with Drupal, but it’s also appropriate for those with some experience who want to build more complex applications. A basic understanding of content management systems is helpful, but knowledge of HTML, CSS, and programming experience is not required.
How is it taught?
The class will consist of four weekly video lessons, each around 2.5 hours long, and four weekly live Q&A sessions with the instructor. The lessons will cover the topics listed below and can be watched on-demand, anytime that is convenient for you. At the end of each lesson, you will be given an assignment to practice what you've learned. (We will provide web hosting for your practice work, so you don't need to worry about setting that up.)
The weekly live sessions will be conducted online, using the webinar software GotoMeeting. During the sessions, the instructor will answer all your questions from and will help troubleshoot any issues you have doing the assignment. (GotoMeeting allows us to view your computer, and take control of your keyboard and mouse if needed. So, we can see any error messages that you're seeing and figure out how to fix it right on the spot.) In addition to the live sessions, you will have access to an online forum to discuss assignments with other students and ask the instructor questions during the week.
After the course is over you can continue to access the lesson videos, free of charge, forever. There are no monthly subscription fees. Just come back and watch the lessons whenever you want. They are a great reference when you forget how to do something.

“Wayne is an excellent communicator. Even though he is an expert, he always made sure to include the most basic, background information for beginners. I also really liked having access to the web server and being able to practice the lessons by building our own site. That hands on approach really helped with understanding the material.”

The Drupal Tutor course is engaging and well structured. Wayne shows his excitement for Drupal and depth of knowledge with this course which will have you setting up your own Drupal 8 website in short order. I've been working with Drupal 7 for some time and this was a great way to jump into the upgraded version. But also suitable for someone new to Drupal.
