drupal.org and

drupal.org and groups.drupal.org are a good start :)

More seriously (since it looks like you're looking for an online school with a formal curriculum) I don't think such a thing exists. Others might know differently.

But really, hanging out on forums like this, reading Drupal planet, hanging out in the IRC channels, and building sites are really the best way to learn Drupal.

There are quite a few books on Drupal as well depending on your needs.

maybe i can help

I'm planning to start running Drupal courses from around September, however, a few people have been asking me about one-on-one tutoring and online training. If you like, I would be willing to provide you with some training online. We could use tools such as Mikogo and Skype (or the IM of your choice).
You can email me at shaun@astromultimedia.com

@drdave17 - It would probably help us if you were to explain what level you are currently at. However, assuming you are a complete novice then I would echo kyle_mathews in saying there is no formal school, but there are some good tutorials around. For example there is a nice series of intro videos at Learn by the drop http://learnbythedrop.com/gettingstarted.

Thanks folks very informative so far.

I better get in the "start from scratch line" though I've been tinkering around, learning some basics here and there, performing some installations, getting stuck, the usual stuff. LOL! Trying to replace that Drupal logo with my own was enough to make me want to quit!

My initial goal was to go to school and learn what I can so as not to miss out on anything. Just to get the complete understanding of Drupal but at this point that's a red light.

After hitting all the bumps in the road, I decided to take some of these lessons http://drupal.org/getting-started which proved somewhat informative but not practical. I am the type of person that like to get my hands wet and fast, then learn as I go.

I think St George video link might be the ticket. Eventually I want to go in a direction of building Social Network projects. I can get started with my friend's domain. It's pretty much open to go in any direction right now and I currently have a Drupal installation going on there but it was just another one of my practice sessions I will eventually delete and start over.

BTW I saved the other links for reference.

Thanks much folks very helpful and quick responses!

Lean by the Drop is good. If

Lean by the Drop is good. If you have a little money you might look at the Drupal stuff on http://lynda.com. if you have a little more money, the http://lullabot.com series is good, too. As you get your deeper into this, there are some great videos from Drupalcons: http://drupal.org/node/385952 and http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=DrupalCon%20SF%202010

It's a lot easier to get your online than finding an actual school where you can learn Drupal. All the resources you need are available over the internet and you can learn by yourself, you don't need any teachers to learn Drupal.

training suggestions

mmdavis's picture

The comments above are great. Also while attending some of the Drupal Camps I've found the buildamodule.com helped me a lot. They are video based so you can go at your own speed, short and sweet so you don't get "stuck" having to repeat parts of videos if you get interrupted, start, stop, pause, and even chuckle at the self-focused humor of the instructor that most of us struggling to learn the "hard way" understands. Also iTunes has some training for Drupal in their iTunes U and Podcast areas such as the Lullabot Drupal Podcasts they also offer Drupalize.me, some are free, some are for a fee. The third one I've heard of but know nothing about them except what is on their website is http://www.ostraining.com.

Hope this helps.
