Quickstart Introduction to Drupal Course (Online)
Building on the success of our classroom-based training in Los Angeles, California (US), this online course will gently introduce you to Drupal as we build a neighborhood association website. The course is presented in a series of modules that will introduce a concept, and then implement the concept in Drupal. This course is intended for individuals who have basic familiarity with building a web page or blogging; no programming experience or experience with Drupal is assumed or necessary.

Em Space Drupal training in Australia
This is an update about Em Space training services.
We were using the CAE training labs (in Melbourne) for training, but this was a bit too rigid. So we've limited ourselves to corporate training, training teams at our clients' premises.
However, we now have a flexible training service that can travel around. This means we will be able to train in unusual places with minimal preparation in advance. This also means that we can use our own offices for training - avoiding the pain of booking venues, but also keeping our space flexible (not having to lock it up with cheap desktop PCs).
Read moreDrupal Dojo: A brief history and next steps...
In May 2007 Dries wrote a blog post identifying the levels and thresholds associated with ascending the Drupal learning curve. He identified specific levels (thresholds) that individuals involved with using and/or developing for Drupal ranging from new users (I “suck” threshold) to active contributors to the Drupal community (“I kick ass” threshold). In response to the know-do gap between those who simply struggled in the Drupal community and those who actually advanced the spirit, mission and vision of the project the Drupal Dojo was born. The model was based on the Japanese concept of the dojo, which means: “the place of the way” and is defined as a training facility, usually led by one or more sensei; the Japanese term for “teacher”. The primary purpose of the Dojo was to provide a structured and safe learning environment for individuals looking to ascend the Drupal learning curve and connect like minded individuals (students) to other individuals who have experience and expertise (teachers).

Seeking easy-to-implement Drupal curriculum for youth
Does anyone know of an existing curriculum package that a teacher could use in high school, college, or youth group setting to train students in web design using Drupal? The students would have no previous web design experience.
If not, is anyone interested in contributing to a curriculum? Maybe using training modules you have already developed?
Thanks!
