DrupalCon Singapore Training

Professionally delivered Drupal training courses will take place on Wednesday, 11 December as full day sessions from 9:30 - 16:00, with a 1 hour lunch break at 12:00. 

Training courses are available as a separate purchase to DrupalCon tickets. You can purchase a training ticket without having a DrupalCon ticket, but a DrupalCon ticket alone does not provide a training seat.

Note that training courses and the contribution day are scheduled during the same time frames and at different venues so you would not be able to attend both.
