Thread: question about postgresql certification
Hi, I'm wondering if there's an official Certification program from the main PostgreSQL group to use for PostgreSQL training courses. If there's not I think that can be useful drop the basis of an official cert program (PGCE or so on) as well. What do you think to discuss it at the italian PGDay? It can be a good start to have good professionals around the world. Regards Federico

Federico, Certification is strictly a commercial activity having little to do with producing PostgreSQL. As such, we've deliberately left it to the various PostgreSQL companies ... including PostgreSQL Inc, OTG, CertFirst, SRA and EnterpriseDB, and Dextra Systemas ... to devise their own certification programs. In addition to not wanting to favor one vendor over another, validating a certification exam is a very time-consuming process which would distract our core contributors from their work improving PostgreSQL. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco
