Has anyone attended PostgreSql classes

I have been using PostgreSql for four years now.  I am the official DBA.  I would like to go through a formal DBA training class.  If you have been to formal PostgreSql training could you please send me your recommendations?  Positive and negative recommendations would both be appreciated.  I plan to attend training somewhere within the US.

 

Thanks,

For a classroom setting I would suggest OTG (http://www.otg-nc.com/),
they are a known contributor and I have heard very good things about
their classes from my smaller customers (my bigger customers use us ;)).

I went to the 5 day class at OTG that Chander taught. I thought he was
really good and the price couldn't be beat. I was a total novice and
found the class challenging. I'm not sure how one might feel if they had
as much experience as you.

Chander at OTG is an excellent instructor, and OTG's materials are
excellent.  The PosgresQL Database Administration class does start at
the beginning, but the Performance Tuning class has more advanced
topics, and there may be another advanced administration class in the
works.   I highly recommend him.
