Testimonials
I enjoyed the 2 days are very less for cover all the topics.
Ali Amer Aziz - Hamilton Police Service
Ability to try out each part on Drupal as I learnt about it. Trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Ash Egan
Topics that were covered were done well and with relevant exercises, and several times Lukasz also referred back to the structure of our own council website to show where certain entities we had talked about in the training were already in use on the site, which I thought was a good way to cement the ideas that had been learned.
Rob O'Driscoll - Limerick City & County Council
There was a nice flow between; - Presentation slides, knowledge building - Hands on examples - Timing of breaks - A nice sprinkle of drupal developer tips, e.g. popular 'modules', admin advise, etc.

Sylvia - Sylvia Ayivor, Intrepid Museum
That the course was tailored to my needs based on the pre-course questionnaire. Parts I felt stronger on were given less time so that we could focus on my less knowledgeable topics, which improved the pacing of the course. Lukasz was very good at explaining a given topic based on my experience level, and had a lot of relevant examples to match that level.
