Why Consider OraPub Training?

OraPub training is a unique experience that will inspire and supercharge your performance work. Here are some of the benefits of OraPub training:

• You receive personal attention by industry expert and gifted teacher Mr. Craig Shallahamer.
• Your work will become pointed, thorough, efficient, correct, and communicated well.
• You will learn how to use any performance tool better.
• You will learn only what you really, really need to know.
• Our methods produce individual and team-wide consistency.
• Lectures are reinforced by hands-on work and discussion.

How Can OraPub Training Be That Good?

OraPub's ten-year training history is outstanding. Oracle consultants routinely attend our training and DBAs have personally taken time off or paid the registration fee themselves. We have trained 1000s of Oracle DBAs on 5 continents in 20 countries. We have had entire departments and groups receive our training.

What we teach is very special. Mr. Shallahamer develops and presents all training. We look for new Oracle features that are relevant, and then we research them and test them. Usually new tools are developed and sometimes new methods. Our best work moves from the lab and is validated on large production Oracle systems. Then we put only the most relevant and validated work into training materials. And we continue to update our materials based upon student feedback and fieldwork. When this is combined with sharing meals, early morning and evening sessions, and lots of class discussion, you are guaranteed to get personal attention so the information sticks.

Our students are passionate about our classes. Below are a few student testimonials snippets taken from our course evaluations.

• Couldn't have been more pleased.
• The most useful class...
• Excellent depth of detail and excellent scope.
• Made whole system performance clear.
• I have been raving about your class.
• This is an absolutely great class...great content! The BEST Oracle class I have ever had.
• I would absolutely recommend this class to my colleagues. It's been years since I've left class excited about trying some of the things I've learned.

We guarantee our training. OraPub guarantees if you are not satisfied with the training you receive, we will refund your registration fee. Period. There is no fine print.

Why OraPub Training Is Different.

We focus on the entire performance management experience, not just one technique, one method, one area of Oracle internals, or a specific performance product. All of our courseware is based upon field validated research. Only Mr. Shallahamer teaches OraPub courses and the objective is not to get you certified, it's to teach you how to be a performance management superstar.

OraPub has been in business for ten years and is the only Oracle focused company offering both reactive and proactive (capacity planning) performance management training. OraPub is the only company that has trained 1000s of DBAs on 5 continents in 20 countries. OraPub training is so highly respected that it is common for students to take vacation or pay the registration fee themselves so they can attend our classes.
