All of our Drupal training courses follow the Acquia authorised curriculum, allowing individuals and organistions to receive a standard baseline Drupal training level and clear progression path to more advanced topics. 

Courses are priced on a per student basis, with discounts available for larger group bookings and bundled multi-day course packages.

We provide the most popular Drupal training courses, such as Drupal in a Day, as regularly scheduled public courses, with more specialised courses provided as on-site training courses.

For all courses, we require students to bring their own laptop computers, and for the developer focussed courses, installs of Acquia's Dev Desktop for Windows or Mac, downloadable from http://network.acquia.com/downloads. This ensures students work with equipment they're familar with and reduces the fees we need to charge for training.
