The world's best Oracle training comes from practicing Oracle consultants, real Oracle experts and authors who combine years of experience with outstanding communications skills. The problem is that the top Oracle experts are busy working with mission critical databases and rarely do public training.

Only once per year, Burleson Consulting offers a public training class, a rare opportunity to learn the secrets of Oracle from some of the world's most highly regarded Oracle experts and authors, people who have managed some of the world's largest and complex databases.
