Why Attend Percona MySQL Training?

Are you considering attending one of Percona's MySQL training courses? Here are five reasons why you should.

1. World Class MySQL Instructors.

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

Our instructors still work as consultants when not training. While 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 it!

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 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 they are familiar with.

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's instructors are technology neutral and are free to highlight any weaker features or use cases of MySQL. Attendees appreciate our instructor’s direct response 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 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 in our attendees.

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