Joomla Training Classes in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom

Joomla Training is embarking on an ambitious serious of Joomla classes to help people learn Joomla in their neighborhood. Since Joomla came on the scene in 2005, formal instruction has been spotty and limited to one-off events. Joomla Training is rectifying that with local classes taught by local, experienced instructors.

Based in Atlanta, the company was founded by Steve Burge, from Alledia.com, a long time Joomla blogger and developer.  Last year the company held classes up and down the U.S. East Coast in Atlanta, New York, Washington and Tampa. The success of those sessions encouraged their growth and this year they expanded to the West Coast, holding classes in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Vancouver.

Whereas Burge ran most of the early classes alone, the roster of instructors has now expanded to 8 teachers and is poised to grow futher. Instructors are chosen for their mix of teaching and Joomla experience. They include several qualified teachers and university instructors.
