5 Reasons to Attend Percona MySQL Training

MySQL Training: Cost or Investment? Evernote's view.

1. World Class MySQL Instructors.

Our classes are taught by one of a Percona MySQL expert. We are well known in the MySQL community with instructors regularly speaking at MySQL conferences and writing posts on the MySQL Performance Blog.

Our instructors still work as MySQL consultants when not training so delivering the course they will not be reading from a script. We encourage attendees to ask questions. We take pride in being able to answer your questions!

2. Short Courses That Are Straight To The Point.

Time is valuable! We understand this. We do not build courses of an arbitrary duration. We don't pad topics with ancillary subjects in order to run a five day course. Our MySQL courses are only as long as they need to be. We encourage attendees to look at what is covered each day and let us know if they want to skip some of the topics with which they are already familiar.

3. Excellent Teacher to Student Ratio.

Quality teaching is a balance of lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. To ensure that all attendees have an opportunity to work hands-on, we maintain small class sizes. This approach ensures the instructor is able to spend time with everyone in class.

4. Vendor Neutral.

Percona MySQL instructors are technology neutral and free to highlight any weaker features or use cases of MySQL. Attendees appreciate our the direct responses of our instructors to their questions.

5. Quality Instructor-led Training

We do not sacrifice the learning experience with cost cutting measures. We pride ourselves in using consultants that continue to provide MySQL consulting to clients when not teaching. This means that Percona instructors continue to refine their skills and deepen their knowledge of MySQL. By maintaining a client portfolio, our consultants can discuss real-world situations with attendees and it is through these stories that the lessons come to life and take hold for our MySQL training attendees.

Does our approach work? Yes. 98% of attendees have said they would recommend our courses to friends and colleagues.
