PHP Training Options - How to Get Your PHP Education

There is no denying the popularity of PHP coding, and PHP Training is becoming easier to find. The only problem is most PHP classes are weeks long, and can cost up to 5000 - 8000!

I don't have that kind of time, or money. There has to be a better way to learn PHP, and keep your skills sharp as a web developer.

What are the PHP Training Options?

If you are looking to learn PHP you basically have three options. They range in time commitment needed, and price, but all will give you the foundations of PHP programming. Have a look at the options and decide for yourself which fit your lifestyle and budget.

Option #1

PHP Training courses are beginning to be offered on site, at various training facilities and community colleges. This is good news if you live near one of the training facilities, and can devote weeks to learning. The price tag for these courses range from 5000 - 8000 for anywhere from 1-4 weeks of training.

Option #2

Online courses have begun to sprout up with the popularity of PHP. These are typically structured courses and can sometimes be taken at your own pace. The cost for online courses are a little less expensive than in person training, and are not location dependent (given you have an Internet connection available).

Option #3

Learn at your own pace self study courses are available, and the best news of all is they are the most economical choice. These are usually courses you buy which have written manuals, video examples, and sometimes audio instructions.
