Tyto Learning Solutions started as a technical training company for web developers providing Acquia Drupal training both in-class and online throughout the United States. In addition to public classes, we provide custom and private training. Some of the biggest corporations in the country as well as many University and Government offices have benefitted from our public and private deliveries. Personally, as the founder of Tyto, I created one of the first Drupal Training Practices to partner with Acquia back in 2012. I spent the seven years before we started Tyto running that Training Practice first at a technical training firm and later at a Drupal development firm. At the beginning of 2019, I decided to move out from under the umbrella of other businesses to establish Tyto and fully focus on empowering web developers with training, mentoring, and information architecture planning services.
