Debug Academy Unveils Spring 2025 Drupal 11 Web Development Training
Debug Academy is launching a three-month, live online Drupal 11 Web Development Training program from February 10 to May 5, 2025. Aimed at beginners and experienced developers alike, the course promises in-demand front-end skills sought by major tech firms such as Acquia, Apple, and Tesla.
Targeting High-Demand Drupal Skills
Offered on Mondays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. US Eastern Time, the training sessions feature two three-hour classes per week. With class sizes capped at 10 to 20 students, participants gain hands-on instruction, one-on-one mentorship, and lifetime access to Debug Academy’s Slack community. In addition to live lectures, each session is recorded, and students receive written lessons and practical assignments designed to mirror real-world scenarios.
“Students often tell us they appreciate the combination of live instruction with the flexibility to review course material at any time,”
says Debug Academy lead instructor and Drupal Grand Master Ashraf Abed.
“We prioritize small-group learning to ensure everyone gets personal guidance and can build a strong foundation in Drupal.”
Why Drupal?
Drupal is an open-source content management system used by high-profile organizations including Apple, Tesla, NBC News, and government agencies. With thousands of job openings globally and an average U.S. salary of $95,718 for Drupal developers (Indeed, December 2020), Debug Academy highlights the platform’s strong career prospects.
Unlike some coding bootcamps that focus narrowly on frameworks, Debug Academy’s curriculum immerses students in Drupal best practices, version control, code reviews, and real project workflows. Assignments often involve contributing to Drupal.org, allowing graduates to showcase tangible work to potential employers.
Who Should Enroll
The bootcamp is structured for a broad range of learners:
- Individuals with no prior programming experience
- Developers seeking a higher salary or career advancement
- Self-taught coders who want formal training in Drupal
- Full-time professionals needing a flexible course schedule
- Experienced Drupal users looking to transition to Drupal 11 or master the latest platform features
Real-World Projects and Results
Past participants report success in landing jobs, promotions, or enhanced responsibilities soon after completing the training. Graduates have contributed to websites for major brands, NGOs, and media platforms, using skills learned during the course.
Debug Academy emphasizes hands-on experience. Students work on projects that require setting up local development environments, managing packages with Composer, and collaborating via Git. Live coding sessions walk participants through tasks ranging from theme customization with Twig to building robust content structures using Drupal’s “views.”
Guided by Industry Expertise
Instructor Ashraf Abed, a former Acquia technical architect and a Drupal 7, 8, 9, and 10 Acquia-certified expert, leads the program. Known for his work on the Obama administration’s White House Petitions site and a large-scale MongoDB migration, Abed brings a wealth of practical experience to each lesson.
“My mission is to teach Drupal in a way that ensures students avoid common pitfalls,”
Abed explains.
“We show them how to do things the right way from day one, giving them the confidence to excel in real-world jobs.”
Enrollment and More Information
Tuition for the Spring 2025 semester (S26) is $4,000, with multiple payment plans and discounts available. Successful applicants gain access to course recordings, live mentorship, class materials, and the option to retake the course once for free if unexpected life events disrupt their progress.
Applications are open now, and interested individuals can learn more or enrol at Debug Academy’s website. The training begins on February 10, 2025, and concludes on May 5, 2025.
By the end of the program, Debug Academy aims to graduate students who are not only proficient in Drupal 11 but also well-versed in industry best practices—prepared to tackle high-profile projects and thrive in an ever-evolving tech landscape.
