Hi,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes ...
I'm looking for courses in/around Toronto, Canada for MSSQL2005 & Data Warehousing or BI (to start leveraging Analysis Services).
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jeff
Many thanks. Jeff

Not in Toronto, but not at a great cost, my company has training in Orlando, FL at End to End Training (www.endtoendtraining.com).

If you have enough people, we'll come out or someone like Solid Quality Mentors or Scalability Experts will come on site.

I'd beware of MS Curriculum courses. They're geared more towards exams and not practical knowledge.

Is this the one? http://www.microsoft.com/learning/syllabi/en-us/2796bfinal.mspx#FindTraining

Go the bottom and select the location. There are quite a few around GTA.

I personally like learningtree.ca, but they do not have enough courses for DBAs.

I took some training last year on SQL Server 2005 with http://www.traininghott.ca/. I liked it.

I was originaly registered for the Montreal classes, but they cancelled it because there wasn't enough students. So they transfered me to Toronto for the first training week. They paid the hotel + gave us cash for travelling. For the second week of training, they transfered me to Pittsburgh class and they paid the hotel again and they even paid my flight.

I took the "MCITP: Database Administrator Certification Training" package. It included:

A. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Administration 5 days

B. SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Application Development 5 days

See: http://www.traininghott.ca/MCITP-Database-Administrator-Certification.htm
