Administrator Training
The aim of the administrator training is to help users become more advanced in utilising what the CiviCRM database has to offer. The first day will cover some of the core topics, focusing on understanding the infrastructure of the database and key ways to tailor it to individual needs. This is followed by modular exercises on topics such as Membership, Case Management, Contributions and CiviRules.
Day two will compare the reporting tools, including an in-depth look at SearchKit using different examples to understand what’s possible; followed by an exploration of the form tools. We’ll look at the built-in FormBuilder and compare this against other options available for embedding forms into your website. Finally, an overview of the most common extensions for CiviCRM will be given.
Across both days, you will have a chance to explore the core functionality of CiviCRM so you are better equipped to determine the best methods for your own requirements. This training is designed for users who are already familiar with CiviCRM and want to advance their knowledge of the database and its functionality. You will need to bring your own laptop that can connect to WiFi.
The training will be led by Rose Lanigan from Ruza Solutions.
Developer training
Participants in the Sprint can also opt in to Developer Training—a focused, two-day course held during the first two days of the Sprint—designed for software developers interested in configuring, customizing, and extending CiviCRM to better serve their organization’s or clients’ needs.
Led by Matt Wire of MJW Consulting, along with respected and experienced developers in the CiviCRM community, these sessions provide the knowledge and tools to start building advanced, custom functionality in your open-source CRM.
While you don’t need years of development experience, you should have a basic understanding of PHP and MySQL, and be comfortable exploring (or ready to dive into) the CiviCRM codebase.
