WikiWorks MediaWiki Training

WikiWorks can provide training on all manner of MediaWiki administration, customization and development, using our vast wealth of experience in handling MediaWiki. We literally wrote the book on MediaWiki, and collectively we have done a wide variety of trainings, both in-person and online, for companies and organizations, and at conferences.

Pricing for training is $250/hour for groups of four or fewer attendees, with an additional $50/hour for each additional attendee. For in-person training, transportation, etc. will of course have to be arranged. Attendees of in-person events can optionally receive a certificate at the end of the session.

Below are the courses we offer. To arrange a training session, whether using one of the available options or something more custom, please write us at info@wikiworks.com.
