Drupal Course - Spring 2022 (S18)

At Debug Academy, Drupal front end training course is curated with real time use cases, regular exercises and home assignments to train an individual with minimal experience in computer programming. I was fortunate to be part of this training to fulfil my dream in software development field. While I sincerely worked on the tasks assigned to me and I got complete support from Ashraf and team to complete the tasks with clear understanding. The beauty of this training is that I was trained to be part of the real time projects.

The structure and order of the course made a lot of sense, it was very logical, and paced in an appropriate way. As soon as I got curious about another topic, it came up later in a lesson or in the next lecture. I think the way learning in this course is laid out is really well done, and now I'm going to have a hard time following the structure of other courses if it doesn't feel just as logical. Well done. Thank you.

I enjoyed the formal "lecture" and then the code along division of each class. Being able to also work on a real project was amazing and being part of real workflow using Git was especially helpful. Also, having Ashraf available for Zoom calls was quite nice in addition to the Slack chatroom.” Ashraf's a great instructor, he explains things in a way that make it seem more approachable.

I took the course and with the skills I gained, I was able to get placed on a high-profile project "The Cheesecake Factory"! && many other client projects right after. I must say the tools I learned here at Debug Academy are very similar tools that the teams I work with on client projects use as well which is pretty amazing! I highly recommend this course!!

Being older and female, I frequently felt like I didn’t belong when attending conferences or meetups with white 20-something males. But I REALLY felt comfortable with this group of students and instructors. The kindness and patience of the instructors responding to even the very basic questions reassured me that this is a community I can be a part of.

I finished the class and kept practicing and before I knew it, I landed a new job! I've been working as a Drupal Developer for about 6 months now.

When I took the class, I was considering a change of career from being a librarian to being a Drupal developer.

I remember when I was taking the Debug Academy class I'd stay up late working on assignments, and I'd go to bed at 2:00 a.m. with a smile on my face that I couldn't contain. It may sound corny, but I don't know that I have ever been that happy with my work.

By the end of the class I had worked on multiple Drupal sites and landed an interview with Acquia, who ended up hiring me as a Drupal Developer. Highly recommend it.

"My favorite aspect was learning with my classmates. A lot of us were new to web development and some of us had experience but were learning. I loved having that interaction with other students who are all very driven and goal-oriented."

Taking the class ended up being one of my best career decisions. Prior to the course, I had no knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP, Git, or Drupal. Now, I am a Drupal Developer.

I never feel like I’m alone. I’m always confident that I’m going to understand it at the end of the day because I have that support structure behind me.

I’ve learned so much more valuable information from you in the first 5 and a half weeks, than I did during the 16 and a half weeks at the Bootcamp. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
