And CBT is?  (First hit on Google reads "Cognitive behavioral therapy",
but I somehow doubt that's what you are interested in...)

Computer Based Training is what I believe the OP is after.

Oh good.  My first response from google, with safe search turned off,
was much more distressing... :)

A psql prompt and the excellent postgresql documentation?

(Sorry to be flip, but typing in examples and fixing mistakes and tweaking input
was how I learned...  Hopefully one of the consulting guys on the list will come
back with exactly what you want, but I wouldn't hold my breath.  I would also
search for postgresql on Youtube...)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is only necessary for people migrating to
PostgreSQL after using Access as if it were a database for too long.
That's a very specific type of post-traumatic stress disorder, and mild
cases can be treated with CBT.  Severe cases will instead require ECT,
aka electroshock.

Most PostgreSQL training happens in one of the following ways:

-Self-learning using the manual or one of the PostgreSQL books
-In-person training at shared classrooms or on-site at companies who
hire a trainer
-Training offered as part of the many PostgreSQL conferences
-Webcasts of training material

You can find many of the schedules for these at
http://www.postgresql.org/about/eventarchive , books are at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/books/ , and the large manual is at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals/

The closest thing to CBT I know of are the videos recorded of past
conference and user's group sessions.  See
http://vimeo.com/channels/postgres and
http://fosslc.org/drupal/category/community/databases/postgresql for
some samples.
