Hello,
I am the founder of Debug Academy; my team and I have taught and refined career-changing Drupal 7 & 8 development courses at Debug Academy ( https://debugacademy.com ) - and the course is better than ever! I will be the lead teacher for the upcoming semester, where we will teach Drupal 8. The course will be offered approximately 50% in-person at a metro-accessible location in Tysons Corner, VA, and 50% online. Can't make it in-person? You can attend all classes live & remotely as well!
A key differentiator of ours is that we do not re-use project materials across semesters; a designer is hired for every semester's project. This semester we will be creating and contributing a brand new Drupal 8 theme to Drupal.org, kicking off graduates' careers as contributors to Drupal and giving back to the community simultaneously! Many graduates contribute patches to various modules during the semester as well!
The class is part time (twice a week - 1 weekday evening online, 1 weekend morning in-person) and spans 3 months. The scheduled start date is January 21st, 2018. Apply at our student-built website https://DebugAcademy.com/apply - the clear path to a new career.
As a direct result of taking our class, our graduates have received (and accepted) job offers from well known development companies such as Acquia, Taoti, Balance Interactive, BeaconFire Red, Mobomo, Booz Allen, Pioneering Evolution and more. Furthermore, each of those companies has given job offers to students who had no development experience prior to enrolling in the class.
By taking this class and dedicating the appropriate amount of time to learning its material, you will be in great shape for moving to the next phase of your career. The majority of our students are referred by previous graduates, which we are very proud of.
Additionally - we boast a stellar student to teacher ratio, ensuring that the class remains accessible to individuals of any level of experience. There will be a teacher and at least one TA available during every class, and myself and our alumni are also available in the class chatroom at all hours. With our small class sizes and personalized curriculum, there is no better way to change or further your career.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. I will be teaching the upcoming semester and will be happy to personally answer any questions. I can be reached via e-mail: ashraf.abed@debugacademy.com or phone: (571) 215-0563.

Our career-changing part-time
Our career-changing part-time Drupal 8 development course begins in exactly 3 weeks.
Here's a message I just received from one of last semester's students, who previously had no web development experience & had been doing part-time data entry. He's kicking off the new year with a new career as a D8 developer: "I got a call today from PE. I’ll be starting work Tuesday next week." His tuition will be fully made back from his new salary shortly after starting the new job.
If you're curious if the course would be a good fit for your goals, give me (the instructor) a call: 571-215-0563 , or send me an e-mail: ashraf.abed@debugacademy.com . We plan to close enrollment as soon as the seats are filled, so the sooner you reach out, the better. ( https://debugacademy.com/apply )
For the next week we're allowing people to enroll in the course at a 10% discount paid over 6 months, with no interest charged. If you need more flexibility, get on the phone with us and we will create a payment plan that works for you; we always strive to make our class as accessible as possible.

Happy new year, everyone!
