A brief look around showed me for example the following training courses
for PostgreSQL:

http://www.dextra.com.br/servicos/treinamento/pg/postgres.htm
http://www.postgresql.org/events/168.html
http://www.bignerdranch.com/Classes/Postgresql.html
http://www.linuxhotel.de/postgres.html

I'm sure there are a lot more.

Just imagine for a moment the real effort one would have to go through to
even informally harmonize the curricula between the courses, and then make
that curriculum fit into the other constraints that such an event comes
with.  That sounds impossible to me.
