Team Enablement
GovCMS & Drupal enablement: site building, administration, module/theme development, CI/CD, and AI-assisted delivery
Build Your Team's GovCMS & Drupal Capability
Relying entirely on external agencies creates dependencies, long lead times, and knowledge gaps in your organisation. But building internal Drupal capability is challenging: modern Drupal requires expertise in PHP, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps practices.
TrueCMS Team Enablement builds capability through hands‑on training, pair programming, and pragmatic knowledge transfer. We cover the GovCMS and Drupal fundamentals your team needs, and pair them with the modern engineering practices—automated tests, code review, and CI/CD quality gates—that keep delivery fast and safe.
Whether you're building a new team or upskilling existing developers, we provide structured training programs that deliver practical, immediately applicable skills.

- Pair Programming: Working alongside experienced Drupal developers on production code
- Code Reviews: Detailed feedback on code quality, architecture, and best practices
- CI/CD Training: Learning to build and maintain automated deployment pipelines
- Testing Practices: Writing effective unit, integration, and functional tests
- Drupal Standards: Following coding standards and contribution best practices
- Custom Curriculum: Training tailored to your team's experience level and project needs
- Ongoing Mentoring: Continued support after initial training through Slack and regular check-ins
Essentials
Level‑up editors, site owners, and product teams with the day‑to‑day skills to run platforms confidently.
GovCMS Site Builder
1–2 days. Content modelling, Views, Layout Builder, roles/permissions, configuration management, and SaaS guardrails.
GovCMS Site Administration
1 day. User management, workflows, governance, release hygiene on SaaS, backups/restore, and operational guardrails.
Development Bootcamps
Designed for engineers. Hands‑on labs, code reviews, and take‑home exercises.
Drupal Module Development
2–3 days. Services/plugins, hooks, routing/controllers, forms, config schema, events, PHPUnit, and safe extension patterns.
Drupal Theme Development
2 days. Twig, asset libraries, theme debugging, component patterns, accessibility, and working with base/admin themes.
Delivery Excellence
Move from ad‑hoc releases to predictable, quality‑gated delivery.
Dev Workflow & CI/CD
1 day. Git strategy, PR reviews, PHPUnit/Behat basics, quality gates, and pipeline patterns for Drupal/GovCMS.
Performance & Optimisation
1 day. Caching layers, query tuning, image/styles strategy, logging/observability, and avoiding common production pitfalls.
AI Enablement
1 day. Safely adopt AI coding assistants (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex) in agency/corporate environments. Learn prompt patterns for code/search/tests, privacy & IP guardrails, and ways to integrate AI into reviews and CI. We also cover test‑driven development (TDD) and specs‑driven development workflows so AI assists rather than bypasses your quality gates. Walk away with a playbook and guardrails.
Custom options are available. We’ll tailor topics and labs to your stack and operating model.

Why Choose TrueCMS for Enablement
Most Drupal training focuses on basic site building or contributes to the knowledge gap by teaching outdated practices. We teach modern development practices: automated testing, CI/CD, and the quality gates that enable reliable, efficient delivery.
Our trainers have real‑world experience implementing quality‑gated CI/CD on production sites. We teach the patterns that work in practice, so your team immediately improves code quality and delivery speed.
The goal isn’t just knowledge transfer; it’s building confidence and capability so your team can maintain and extend Drupal/GovCMS sites independently.
