Both courses provide in-depth TYPO3 knowledge. The difference lies in the scope, support and target group - here you can find out which option is right for your situation.

I've been getting this question a lot lately: Should I take the TYPO3 13 video training or the Masterclass? The answer depends on how you work and what you specifically need.

What both courses have in common

Both courses offer you a structured learning path for TYPO3 13, with practical examples ranging from installation, templates and TypoScript to content elements. Both courses include access to the community area and forum. And if you realize that you need more, you can upgrade at any time.

Video training: For self-learners with basic projects

The video training covers all the basics and best practices for TYPO3 13. Installation, backend, page structure, templates, TypoScript, Fluid, content elements - everything you need for solid standard websites. You learn at your own pace, ask questions in the forum and work your way systematically through the topics.

The video training suits you if you:

work solo and can learn independently
have time to try things out at your own pace
implement standard websites without complex requirements
have a basic knowledge of HTML and CSS and want to tackle the transition to 13 in a structured way

Masterclass: With support and special topics

The masterclass contains all the content of the video training plus additional topics that become important in more complex projects: Multilingualism, protected areas, editorial workflows, the "container" extension and AI in TYPO3. There are also bonus videos on various special topics.

The main difference, however, is the support: you get regular live sessions in which you can clarify specific cases. One hour of personal 1:1 support for tricky setups. Prioritized answers in the community area when time is of the essence. And you can download all videos - important for teams who want to secure their knowledge permanently.

The Masterclass is right for you if you:

implement multilingual sites or protected areas
have time pressure and need to solve blockers quickly
work in a team and need common standards
want live support for individual questions
Want to use videos offline or make them permanently available to the team

Three questions to help you decide

Do you need multilingualism, protected areas or editorial workflows? Then Masterclass.
Do you work in a team or have demanding customer projects with time pressure? Then it's worth taking the Masterclass.
Do you want to use videos offline or have them permanently available in your team? That also speaks in favor of the Masterclass.

If you answer no to all three questions, the video training is enough.

Unsure? Start risk-free and stay flexible

Start with the video training and secure all the TYPO3 basics - without risk. If your projects become more complex or you need more support, you can upgrade to the Masterclass at any time and immediately benefit from personal support and special topics. So you always make the right decision for your current situation.

[Translate to English:] Wolfgang Wagner, TYPO3 Experte und Trainer

Hi, I'm Wolfgang.

I have been working with TYPO3 since 2006. Not in theory, but in real projects with real deadlines. I've probably had the problems you're having three times already.

At some point, I started putting my knowledge into video courses. Not because I like being in front of the camera, but because I kept hearing the same questions over and over again. There are now hundreds of videos. Every single one was the result of a specific question from a specific project.

What makes me different from a YouTube tutorial: I not only know the solution, but also the context. Why something works. When it doesn't work. And which mistakes you can avoid because I've already made them.

As a member of the TYPO3 Education Committee, I make sure that the certification exams are kept up to date. What is tested there flows directly into my courses.
