OUR Training & Certification Courses
The Certified PostgreSQL DBA (CPSDBA) program is an advanced, hands-on training and certification designed for professionals responsible for deploying, managing, securing, optimizing, and scaling PostgreSQL in production environments.
This program goes beyond theory and history. It is built for real-world PostgreSQL DBAs, Cloud DBAs, Site Reliability Engineers, and Infrastructure Engineers who work with mission-critical databases and must ensure availability, performance, security, and recoverability under real operational pressure.
CPSDBA validates the skills required to operate PostgreSQL confidently in enterprise, government, cloud, and hybrid environments, including on-premise, virtualized, and containerized platforms.
The Certified PostgreSQL Developer (CPSDBD) program is a hands-on training and certification designed for professionals who build, optimize, and maintain applications powered by PostgreSQL.
This program focuses on real-world PostgreSQL development skills required to design efficient database schemas, write high-performance SQL, implement business logic within the database, and build scalable, reliable, database-driven applications. CPSDBD emphasizes practical development patterns used in production environments rather than theoretical concepts.
CPSDBD validates a developer’s ability to work effectively with PostgreSQL as a core application platform across enterprise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
This course is designed to equip IT professionals, database administrators, and cloud engineers with the essential skills to deploy, manage, and optimize PostgreSQL databases on Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service). Participants will gain hands-on experience in configuring highly available, secure, and scalable PostgreSQL instances using real-world lab environments and AWS best practices.
The training covers a wide range of topics including automated backups, Multi-AZ deployments, read replicas, monitoring and performance tuning, security configurations, and integration with other AWS services. Whether you’re migrating databases to the cloud or managing mission-critical workloads, this course offers the practical knowledge and technical depth to help you harness the full power of PostgreSQL in a cloud-native environment.
The Certified PostgreSQL Database Migration Specialist (CPDMS) program is an advanced, hands-on training designed for professionals who lead and execute mission-critical database migrations to PostgreSQL.
This is not a tool-focused course. CPDMS is built around the real-world realities of enterprise database modernization—where decisions carry risk, downtime is costly, and migrations must be done right the first time. The program equips participants with the skills to plan, architect, execute, validate, and optimize complex migrations from legacy and commercial databases to PostgreSQL with confidence.
The course is vendor-neutral, deeply practical, and based on proven migration patterns used in enterprise, government, and cloud environments. Participants work through realistic migration scenarios involving Oracle, SQL Server, and legacy platforms, gaining hands-on experience that translates directly to production projects.
Specialized courses
The Introduction to PostgreSQL program offers a beginner-friendly, hands-on learning experience focused on PostgreSQL database fundamentals.
