Certified PostgreSQL Developer(CPSDBD)
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.

Stathis
The training course was exceptional, covering a wide range of topics with a strong emphasis on practical application. The Instructor demonstrated deep subject-matter expertise and consistently provided constructive feedback, valuable insights, and professional guidance throughout the course.
Seena
The training sessions were informative and useful, but access to courseware and hands-on lab materials would greatly enhance the learning experience. Practice questions for exam preparation would also be very beneficial. Overall, the training content was good, and with added resources, it would be even more effective.
Kyron
The training was comprehensive and well aligned with the needs of my current role. The Instructor demonstrated patience and a strong understanding of student concerns and questions. One suggestion for improvement would be to announce breaks more clearly in advance. I also appreciated the additional Linux learning resources that were shared, which added great value to the course.
Adam
The Instructor was excellent—clear, approachable, and very easy to understand. The pace of the class was well balanced, and the teaching method of first demonstrating tasks and then allowing students to perform them independently was highly effective. The inclusion of frequent, short breaks was especially helpful, allowing time to process information, prepare questions, and manage personal responsibilities. I would strongly recommend this Instructor and would be happy to enroll in future courses.
