Drupal Training & India

I'm going to wholesale copy & paste from an interesting article/interview with Acquia Founder & CTO Dries Buytaert. It is very interesting to me to see how different parts of the world approach training in a new technology. Especially when it directly impacts what I'm doing on a day to day basis here at Acquia.

Drupal and India…

How do you plan to expand your training program in India?

We have already been doing some training in India. One of the reasons for this trip is to understand the state of Drupal in India and what the needs of the community here are. One of the things we have discovered from the interactions we had is the strong desire for training, both from small Drupal shops and the large SIs. Everybody has expressed a desire to get expert training in Drupal. We work with a lot of training partners as well. We have a lot of small Drupal shops. We have found that the demand for trained Drupal professionals does not match the supply at all.

So do you offer a certification course for Drupal?

Right now, we have some full-time staff at Acquia to build and maintain the training curriculum. We provide expert training in all Drupal aspects.
