Hi Mark,

We offer classroom based, instructor led, PostgreSQL Administration training.  We typically offer these courses a couple of times a quarter.  You can see a list of our PostgreSQL courses and their scheduled dates online at:

Most of our courses include an "all inclusive" option, which includes hotel, airfare, and training.  A 5 day Admin course (for example) including airfare and accommodation is $2,195 . 

We're also a financial supporter of the PostgreSQL project - so a portion of the money that you spend on training goes to the project...

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have regarding our course offerings.

Thank You
