Okay So I attended a training course for PostgreSQL a few months ago. IT WAS AWFUL!!!!!! It is difficult for me to put into words how bad this course was. So in an attempt, I wrote up a play-by-play of the action here:

SUMMARY

Certfirst used bait and switch tactics during the sales process, and failed to deliver a meaningful training course. I left with no useful information other than using Google and reading through the provided “PostgreSQL” book that is a $40 amazon.com buy. Whatever you do, DO NOT ENGAGE THIS COMPANY ANY ANYTHING! You will be wasting 5 days of time, and thousands of dollars would of learned more about PostgreSQL trapped in a hot cave in southeast Asia filled with native cannibals. At least I wouldn’t of been as bored in the cave.

I would be surprised to learn that they had run this course before, and that the instructor / company knows anything about PostgreSQL or anything else that they are teaching for that matter. Let this serve as an official warning to never do business with Cert First or SaiFirst companies. You have been warned!
