Join the Drupal Association's global initiative to bring Drupal to the masses! With the goal to educate more people on the Drupal Project, Global Training Days was established in 2012. One day each quarter, training companies around the world offer one of two curriculums. The two curriculums are "Intro to Drupal," a full day training and "What is Drupal?" a half day workshop.

After reviewing trainer surveys from last year, we have found some ways to make the program even better in 2014. One request was the ability to shift to a Saturday training if it was better for your particular community.  Well, guess what? You can now sign up for our next global training on Friday, February 28, 2014 OR if you are in a location that makes Saturday a better choice, March 1st works just as well. Those dates are reflected in the above schedule.

We are hiring a Community Coordinator this month who will work to address some of your other suggestions (like creating standardized event materials and improving customer service). This person will also evaluate the actual training offerings and look for ways to improve them.  And who knows, we may even create some additional training options for you later in the year!

Last year, we had 41 companies participate in the program, and this year we have a goal of 50! Will you join us? We want to expand our list of trainers so we can educate even more people on the benefits of Drupal. This is a great way to grow the Drupal community and promote your training services- so sign up today! We are looking forward to your participation!

If you have questions, please contact Stephanie Torres, Community Program Manager.
