classes.

I've been tasked with administering one of our PostgreSQL databases and
know little or nothing about the product (though I do have DB
experience). I've been looking for training and came across an
administration class at 'http://www.postgresql.org/about/event.425' on
the main web site. When I called the certfirst people offering the
classes I got the impression that they weren't on the up and up. When I
asked if the class in Newport Beach was sure to run they tried to talk
me into taking a class in their Illinois location, and when I asked
about a class in January in Vegas they told me it was already full but I
could take the December class in Illinois -- but they wouldn't tell me
where their classes in Vegas are held.
Can anyone provide me with a reference for these guys? Also, they claim
to offer a certification but it is done online using some web site I've
never heard of.
Hello Sir,
We do offer PostgreSQL training courses - from basic to advanced
courses, including Performance & Tuning courses. Our courses are
typically held at our Morrisville, NC location - but from time to time
we do offer them in the San Jose, CA area.
If you're looking to stay on the west coast because of cost, please note
that our courses often include an option that includes hotel and
airfare. They are priced to be competitive with any local training
providers that you may have (and are typically less than what you would
pay for a class around the corner from you!)
For example, our for example, our PostgreSQL Administration course - 5
days is priced at $2,195 and includes round-trip airfare as well as 5
nights hotel accommodation and free shuttle services here in
Morrisville, NC. I'd be more than happy to provide you with some
references that you can contact if you have questions about the quality
of content of the courses that we offer.
Our Morrisville, NC PostgreSQL courses are also guaranteed to run -
regardless of the number of students that enroll. So you can base your
project schedules/plans on the fact that you will get the training when
you schedule it.
Thank You
