Taught by recognised PostgreSQL experts

The people teaching these courses are the same people we send to production incidents. They learn the database by operating it, and they take that back into the room.

We work on PostgreSQL itself

Several of our engineers are listed contributors to the PostgreSQL project, and we present regularly at PostgreSQL conferences across Europe and beyond.

Fifteen years each, at minimum

Every senior consultant brings more than fifteen years of hands-on PostgreSQL work — migrations, performance audits, high availability and 24/7 support for systems that cannot go down.

Certificate included

Every course comes with a Data Egret certificate of attendance naming the course you took.
