These are the options we give you

At your place or ours?

Everyone learns at her/his own pace. We provide both in-house training and public training throughout Europe - whatever suits your team best. When 3 or more developers are attending, a custom training is often more economical. Contact us for more details.

You'll get courseware

Every workshop is accompanied with official Yireo coursematerial. Attendees are sent a digital version of this material after the training. It contains slides, comments and references. Additionally, our GitHub repos contain numerous more code samples.

Online classrooms

Online trainings are also our training: Via Zoom or Google Hangout sessions, our teacher is able to connect with your team. The benefit here is that the team is able to connect from various places itself as well, timeframes are more flexible. Afterwards, a video recording will be shared with all attendees for reference.

On-demand self-paced training

This training is also available as an On-Demand training: Via numerous video lessons, including accompanying student notes (equalling a book on their own), you'll learn about the topics in your own pace. And when you bump into questions, you can fall back to the teachers guidance.

The training was great! We learned all the golden nuggets, presented clearly and accessible. Essential for anyone who works or will work with Magento! Rick Bouma (Epartment)
I really enjoyed the Magento 2 Hyvä Theme Development course. The information is useful and well-structured. I appreciated the extensive practice, which helped me understand how to develop a frontend using Hyvä. Jisse is easy to listen to and engaging, which made the course even better.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a minimum number of attendees listed. What does this mean?

When this course is organized in the form of a classroom-training, it is only held if there is a minimum number of attendees. This number is usually 4 but sometimes we bring this down to 2 or 3. This minimum number simply means that if a class is not "full", either you get a refund or your ticket is transferred to another date. With On-Demand courses (video courses), this number is not applicable.

Do you have any PPP discount available?

Yes, we do have a PPP (Purchasing Power Parity) discount available. Just enter `PPP` as a coupon code and the discount will be applied to your cart. We are using the Big Mac Index to recalculate prices. Note that - when ordering for a specific PPP rate - the country that you're entering in your billing address needs to match the exact country that you are visiting from (in other words: your IP needs to match the country you say you're from).
