Here's what a recent graduate emailed me, word-for-word:

"I’m happy to announce that I received a job offer for a mid Drupal developer role. I am so glad that I took the course. I get to work from home and earn a good living. It is everything I hoped for and more! Thank you once again.

Take care,

Please feel free to use this as a testimony. ????"

Curious whether this course makes sense right now? Hear what a few of our recent students have said:

  • "I am so glad that I took the course. I get to work from home and earn a good living. It is everything I hoped for and more!"
  • "Ashraf is an awesome instructor who doesn't make anyone feel like they asked "dumb" question. His teaching style makes for a very comfortable learning environment. He truly wants his students to succeed."
  • "Ashraf is a master instructor, he is got huge depth of knowledge on Drupal platform. Lynda is so helpful. She is always ever ready to help out learners."
  • "Ashraf Abed and Lynda Santiago were amazing Drupal Educators whom ensured all major elements for working with Drupal was covered/discussed. Assisting outside of normal class hours, even late into the night was spot on. Gotta Love It!"
  • “I have found working on our classwork/homework and attending classes has provided me with a lot of peace, stability, and socialization in a crazy time where I'm isolated while working from home”
  • "I REALLY felt comfortable with this group of students and instructors. Being older and female with a non-computer educational background, I have always been technically inclined, and frequently have felt I did not belong when attending [...] The kindness and patience of the instructors responding to even the very basic questions reassured me that this is a community I can be part of, and I did not have this confidence in myself at the start of this semester. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
  • "Ashraf is knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient. He is great at explaining technical information to the newest of newbies while keeping the content engaging for the more experienced students."

I'll be the lead instructor for the upcoming semester. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out anytime!

Was curious about cost as well, not very exposed but did find it here

Thank you for the link

That was certainly not easy to find:) I was a BIT suspicious when I could not find it, but I do think it's reasonably priced and they have some ways to make the cost affordable.

I would suggest that they redesign the site to

a) make the cost more prominent
b) make it more mobile friendly

Thanks for the feedback and

Thanks for the feedback and for sharing the pricing page!

To save people a click:
- Payment plans are available.
- Total cost of the 3 month course ranges from $3,600 - $4,000 (depending on payment plan selected).
- There's an unlisted needs-based payment plan to make it more accessible ($99/month until the total cost is paid off).

We are in the process of redesigning the site. New version is more mobile-friendly and includes more prominent pricing. We'll hire alumni to implement the new design.

Application process is very short - as long as our goals & expectations are aligned, you can participate.

Happy to answer any questions here or via email ( ashraf@debugacademy.com ).

I'd like to reserve this

Sorry for any disturbance / unwanted attention! I aim to post to a few groups, and no more than 3 times a year or so.

It was posted in a few groups I follow. The event dropdown has an option for "commercial trainings" so it seemed appropriate. I hope some found it relevant.

@volkswagenchick I'll ping you on Drupal slack so I can remove it from your group without sending additional notifications to the thread.
