Percona announces MySQL training for busy professionals
Recognizing that many MySQL professionals cannot get out of the office for a week of intense advanced MySQL training, Percona set out to add a unique twist to live virtual training. Rather than just deliver their existing content via live virtual lecture, they have actually taken the time to rework their courses so that attendees do not need to sit for a day in front of the computer listening to the instructor. They broke each one-day workshop into five 2-hour modules. The 2-hour modules are then delivered over consecutive days, with remote labs that are completed at the learner's discretion before the next live session. Yes, it means that the full week of training now takes several weeks, but the approach is very "still have to work" friendly.
Percona did not stop there! Their live virtual sessions and remote labs are also integrated with online learning tools. This blended approach allows the learner to ask questions, participate in discussions, and access additional support material outside of the live lecture. Their approach shows an understanding of work-life-training balance that is simply refreshing. Percona's first course is "Developer Training for MySQL." Percona is offering savings of over 35% for this course in the month of August.
