I went to the Big Nerd Ranch (http://bignerdranch.com) about a year ago
for their PostgreSQL Bootcamp. I had been using PostgreSQL at the time
for four years, and I came away with a more complete knowledgebase that I
had going in. The workload is intense, and the curriculum is mature.

I'd recommend it to any company out there looking to get their dba's
certified on PostgreSQL.
