Online Course Drupal 7. Site Building

The course is made up of 40 units and divided into 2 modules: beginner and intermediate. The total course duration is 3 months with 180 hours of certified work.

While this formative experience requires a significant amount of effort, you will save a considerable amount of time when compared to studying Drupal on your own.

The main aim of the Expert in Drupal 7 course is to train the student for the implementation of professional Websites with Drupal. To reach out this objective, these secondary objectives must be achieved:

• Acquire a strong foundation in Drupal. Having a good base is essential for defining a good strategy for the installation, configuration and programming of features in Drupal. In this course we place special emphasis on the need to study Drupal in an orderly and guided way, carrying out work ranging in difficulty from lowest to highest. For this reason we believe that all of the activities proposed in the training plan are important for the acquisition of a good base, regardless of the student’s previous level of knowledge.
• Essential additional modules. The Drupal core is only a starting point; it will always be necessary to add additional modules. The most important modules that are offered will be studied in this course. Some of these modules have become essential, because they have been used in prior versions to Drupal 7, having enjoyed widespread acceptance in the community for years. Other modules created specifically for Drupal 7 will also be studied.
• Adaptation to new versions and modules . The student will have the necessary skills to adapt to the continuous changes of version and to manage the installation and configuration of new modules contributed by the community successfully.

Through this course you will learn to install, configure and administrate Drupal 7 Websites with no programming skills.

Once finished you will be trained to deal with, both individually and in team, the design and implementation of complex Websites. Acquired training will be helpful in getting you into the labor market, improving in your job or even undertaking your own project based on web technologies.
