Thank you! The meetups in and around Los Angeles are a great source of free learning to our community, but these all-day trainings are in a classroom environment where our trainees are provided a rock solid curriculum (with a printed booklet that people can take home), a website hosted on our servers, and a lot of personal attention. Our trainings are all $400 a day.

When they are done can someone on this list post back how they were?

Yes! That would be great. We'll be raffling off a free seat to this training at an upcoming meetup. As an LA Drupal organizer and sponsor liaison, I always ask that our raffle prize winners report back, whether it's a review of a book they won or a talkback at their next meetup about what they learned at a training they went to.
