Training
Since delivering my first professional SQL Server training in 2002, I’ve been passionate about sharing knowledge, fostering open discussions, and creating engaging learning experiences for curious and motivated participants.
Between 2005 and 2014, I was a MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer)*, delivering official Microsoft courses (MOC – Microsoft Official Curriculum). Over time, however, I developed my own approach—moving beyond the step-by-step instructions of the standard materials to focus on practical insights, real-world relevance, and hands-on techniques that truly resonate with professionals.
Since 2003, I’ve been dedicated to delivering my own specialized training series: the SQL Server Master-Classes. (You can learn more in this blog post).
From time to time, I also present 1-day sessions at public conferences—often referred to as “PreCons.” Announcements for upcoming sessions can be found on my blog.
If you’re interested in hosting a PreCon at your event or arranging a customized training session for your team, feel free to get in touch!
* To attain MCT status, I passed a specifically designed exam in the framework of a didactic training at a Microsoft-approved institute. There may be much more “comfortable” ways to attain the MCT, but one of my basic principles is to learn as much as possible rather than “only as much as necessary to achieve some kind of certification.”
