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 June 3rd, 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.

I took this last year
I work in healthcare and have no computer background at all. I took this class last year and learned so much! Ashraf is so patient and explains things in as many ways as it takes for us to learn it. The best thing about this class is that Ashraf continues to help out long after class is over! There are always ongoing tasks for us to work on if we choose. He was available all the way up to the morning of my interview; when he talked me through some pointers and gave me words of encouragement. What I learned in this class was enough to land me my first Drupal developer job! I can't be more happy with my decision to sign up for the Drupal developer class!
Thank you for the kind words
Thank you for the kind words :) I'm really excited to see what you build as a Drupal developer!

Here are quotes from students with various backgrounds, all from our most recent semester:
"Ashraf's a great instructor, he explains things in a way that make it seem more approachable." - New programmer
"This was the best programming class ever!" - Seasoned Drupal 7 developer
"The structure and order of the course made a lot of sense, it was very logical, and paced in an appropriate way. As soon as I got curious about another topic, it came up later in a lesson or in the next lecture. I think the way learning in this course is laid out is really well done, and now I'm going to have a hard time following the structure of other courses if it doesn't feel just as logical. Well done. Thank you." - D7 Site Builder
