Beginner Joomla Training from the experts

Do you want?

• An expert instructor with teacher certification AND deep Joomla expertise
• Hands-on time to implement what you learn
• Optional ongoing education and support to create a successful Joomla website
• Small class sizes so you can ask questions one-on-one
• An included copy of the best selling "Joomla - A User's Guide"

.... then you need to attend our training.

We have taken the feedback of the hundreds of Joomla users and created a unique training event; we call it our Joomla University!

What is Joomla University?

It is a flexible full-day session where you learn how to build a Joomla website, get traffic for it, and make it convert. You'll be guided through how best to leverage Joomla for your organization and be shown the tricks and tips that the pros use. At the end of the day, you should have a site that's ready to go live online.

The Tursday session of the Boston class is beginner Joomla training. No previous knowledge of Joomla is needed. More advanced users will also benefit as a wide range of topics are addressed.

The Friday session is intermediate/advanced Joomla training. Students should have either attended the Thursday session or have a previous knowledge of Joomla.

Who Should Go?

• Individuals who need to understand how to build a site with Joomla
• Employees who are responsible for running a Joomla-powered website
• Designers who want to offer Joomla sites to their clients

What Will I Learn?

The day-long class is designed to give students a complete picture of everything they need to know to run a successful Joomla website. Starting from the best way to plan and build your sections and categories, optimizing your navigation for usability all the way to hands-on techniques to get traffic and market your website.

Each class will also have time devoted to addressing and answering problems YOU are experiencing with using Joomla 1.5 to create websites.
