[ADMIN] Postgres SQL - Certification query

Hi,

I am not sure if I am sending this mail to the right person(s), but I am hoping if not you can point me in the right direction.

My company, based in Ireland & UK, is looking to skill up and certify some resources on Postgres. We have a PluralSight subscription with has quite a few postgres courses available on it, but I am looking for information what certifications there are, and how best to achieve them. I have looked on the site (www.postgresql.org) and have found reference to the following training in the upcoming events section:

PostgreSQL 9.x Administration

PostgreSQL 9.X DBA Hands-on Training & Certification Program - SaiFirst PostgreSQL 9.X DBA certification hands-on Instructor-led training program covers the latest PostgreSQL database topics. The course is designed for both administrators and developers. This program also prepares an individual to get certified as a CPSDBA (Certified PostgreSQL DBA).

Note: Certifications offered by CertFirst is an independent certification, and is not reviewed or endorsed by the PostgreSQL Community.

However, the note states the CertFirst is independent. Is this a recognised/respected certification, or is there a better one that is endorsed by the community?

Many thanks for any help and advise you give,

Regards,

Riceal McDermott – Business Relationship Manager
