Drupal training

Who will lead the training?

Experienced Drupal specialists, including Acquia Triple Certified Drupal Experts, lead our Drupal training, with the technical knowledge and practical delivery experience to adapt sessions to different roles and levels of Drupal experience.

From editors using Drupal for the first time to experienced site managers and technical teams, we tailor each session's depth and focus to your platform, responsibilities, and learning objectives. Training can cover day-to-day content management, advanced editorial workflows, site administration and site building, and more technical Drupal topics where required.

What is included?

Every Drupal training programme is tailored to your team's needs, experience level, Drupal version, and how your platform is configured. Rather than delivering a generic course, we focus on the features, workflows and responsibilities your team will actually use.

Drupal content management and editor training

Designed for content editors, publishers and site managers who need the confidence to create, manage and maintain high-quality content. Depending on your Drupal implementation, training can include:

• Drupal fundamentals and terminology, including content types, fields, blocks, media, taxonomy and Views
• Creating, editing, previewing and publishing content
• Using CKEditor 5 and your configured content editing tools
• Managing images, documents and other media
• Structured content and reusable components, including Paragraphs where used
• Taxonomy, categorisation and content relationships
• Menus, URL aliases and redirects
• Editorial workflows, moderation, revisions and approvals
• User accounts, roles and permissions
• Managing multilingual content
• SEO tools and good content practices
• Accessibility considerations for content editors
• Managing landing pages and layouts using the tools configured for your site
• Using any bespoke Drupal functionality developed for your organisation

Drupal site building and administration training

For teams already comfortable with content administration who want greater control over how their Drupal platform is structured and configured. Training can include:

• Content types, fields and structured content modelling
• Views, filtering, sorting and display configuration
• Blocks and reusable site components
• Drupal Layout Builder, where used
• Taxonomy and content relationships
• Roles, permissions and user management
• Workflows and content moderation
• Menus and site structure
• Configuration and administration best practice
• Managing contributed modules and understanding their purpose
• Multilingual and multisite configuration
• Performance, security and accessibility considerations for site administrators

Advanced and technical Drupal training

For development, digital and technical teams, we can also create more advanced training around the architecture and operation of your Drupal platform. This could include Drupal configuration management, APIs and integrations, custom modules, deployment processes, development workflows, security, performance and maintaining Drupal in line with established best practice.

Where appropriate, sessions can also explore Drupal's emerging AI capabilities, helping teams understand how approved AI functionality can support activities such as content creation, search, administration and editorial workflows.

Training built around your Drupal platform

The most valuable Drupal training is specific to the platform your team actually uses. We can incorporate your own content types, components, workflows, integrations and bespoke functionality into the programme, using realistic tasks and scenarios rather than generic examples.

Training can be delivered through workshops, group sessions or 1-to-1 training, remotely or in person, and supported by reusable materials and platform documentation so that knowledge can be shared with existing colleagues and future team members.
