Are you interested in SQL Server training with a twist?

Do you wish you could have some time one-on-one time with the SQL Server Professional presenting technical sessions in conventional settings only to find yourself competing for 30 frantic seconds alone while being elbowed in the back by a classroom full of students as she is trying to pack up before the next presenter takes the stage?

Do you have questions for leaders in the SQL community that don’t fit well into 140 character Tweets and forum posts that are hard to follow once more than a few people begin posting conflicting comments?

Do you wish you had some one-on-one time with proven consultants with decades of experience in database administration, business intelligence, professional development and management but can’t afford the high hourly rates or negotiations through your budgeting system?

What if there was an option for training that allowed you to still get top-tier SQL Server technical training along with networking sessions devoted to leadership, communication, and problem-solving soft-skills?

What if this alternative for training also included the ability to spend down-time periods in one-on-one or small group discussions with those leading the sessions – leaders, consultants, mentors all with decades of experience and the credentials to support the experience?

What if all of this took place in a location where you could focus on the content and the experience without the distractions of the internet and online social networking; requiring attendees to focus and participate when in class?

What if this all took place in a relaxing, yet professional classroom setting at a facility that provided for room and board at a fraction of what you would expect for conventional SQL Server training?

This option exists now and it’s called SQL Cruise.
