Expert in Drupal 9 Site Building (online training)

Expert in Drupal 9 Site Building is a 4-month course, certifying 180 hours of work. During this period, students complete Practice exercises (120 hours) and a Final Project (60 hours).

The principal objective of Expert in Drupal 9 Site Building is to train students to develop professional Drupal websites as a Site Builder. To reach this goal these secondary objectives are necessary:

• Acquire a good foundation in Drupal. It is essential to have a good foundation in Drupal in order to develop a sound strategy for installing and configuring features. In this course we place special emphasis on the need to study Drupal in an orderly and guided fashion where one completes exercises that progress in difficulty from low to high. We therefore consider all of the activities outlined in the training course important for acquiring a good foundation regardless of the student’s prior knowledge.
• Deep understanding of Drupal core. It is important to know the features that are included in Drupal core in order to understand its information architecture
• Key additional modules. Drupal core is only a starting point. We will always need to use additional modules. In this course we will study the most important contributed modules. Some of these modules have become key because they’ve been used in prior versions of Drupal and have been widely accepted in the community for years. Other modules that we will study have been created specifically for Drupal 9.
• Adapting to new versions and modules. Students will have the necessary knowledge to adapt to continuous version changes and to successfully install and configure new modules contributed by the community.
• Learning to contribute to the community. Drupal's success would not have been possible without thousands of enthusiasts, users and developers who have shared their developments, knowledge and experiences with the community. We therefore believe that, whenever possible, we ought to contribute to the community by sharing and maintaining developed modules, reporting errors and solutions, and helping other users.

By taking this course you’ll learn to install, configure and manage websites in Drupal 9 from the perspective of Site Builder (without programming). You’ll learn to use the modules included in Drupal core and the principle contributed modules, acquiring the necessary foundation to safely build websites with complex information architecture and features.
