Course modules

Module 1 · Getting started

Your foundation. You'll get comfortable moving around Drupal, learn the essential vocabulary you'll use every day, and understand how a piece of content is actually put together — so nothing that follows feels unfamiliar.

1.1 What Drupal is and what a Content Specialist does
1.2 Logging in, your dashboard, and the admin toolbar
1.3 Backoffice and frontoffice
1.4 Essential vocabulary: node, content, field, term
1.5 Anatomy of a piece of content: content types, fields, and the node

Module 2 · Anatomy of the website

A tour of the page from the outside in. You'll learn to identify each component that makes up a page and what it's for, so you always know exactly which part you're working on.

2.1 Components of a web page: an overview
2.2 Header and main menu
2.3 Hero
2.4 Breadcrumbs: how they're built and how to read them
2.5 Footer

Module 3 · Creating content

The core of your day-to-day work. You'll create and edit content from start to finish with clean formatting and correct links, writing for search and accessibility from the very first draft.

3.1 Creating content step by step
3.2 The text editor (CKEditor): clean, consistent formatting
3.3 Links: internal, external, and anchors
3.4 Content oriented to GEO, SEO, and AEO
3.5 Accessibility when writing content
3.6 Published and unpublished

Module 4 · Media

Everything visual and downloadable, handled well. You'll manage images, documents, and video in an orderly, reusable way that keeps the site fast and the library tidy.

4.1 The media library: upload, reuse, avoid duplicates
4.2 Images: sizes, cropping, and file weight
4.3 Documents
4.4 Video: internal and external types
4.5 Naming and organization

Module 5 · Organizing content

Structure that keeps a growing site usable. You'll organize content with taxonomy, menus, and readable URLs so every page is easy to reach and easy to find.

5.1 Taxonomy: categories and tags
5.2 Menus: adding a link to the navigation
5.3 URLs and readable aliases

Module 6 · SEO and content quality

Making sure your work gets found and read. You'll prepare content for search engines, understand the sitemap, and get an overview of the SEO tools available in Drupal.

6.1 Title, meta description, and how it appears in search
6.2 Heading structure (H1–H3)
6.3 The XML sitemap: how to add a page and what options exist
6.4 Other SEO options available in Drupal: an overview
6.5 Reviewing before you publish: a checklist

Module 7 · Managing content over time

Keeping control as content piles up. You'll find any piece of content, understand its identifiers and translations, and recover earlier versions with confidence.

7.1 The Content page: searching and filtering
7.2 What a node ID is and where to find it
7.3 Multilingual content: one piece, several translations
7.4 Revisions and history: recovering previous versions
7.5 Deleting content: what's permanent and what isn't

Module 8 · Working independently

From learner to self-sufficient. You'll diagnose the most common issues on your own and put everything together by taking a real page live from start to finish.

8.1 Diagnosing common issues (caching, why a change isn't showing, why you can't edit something)
8.2 Practical exercise: publish a complete page from start to finish
