Oracle SQL Tuning
For optimum performance, a database should be regularly tuned.  This is a broad and somewhat complex topic area when it comes to Oracle databases.

Two of the biggest questions faced by your average DBA concern where to start and what to do. All you may know is that a user reports a problem about a slow or poor performing application or query. Where do you even begin to start when faced with this situation?

If you are experiencing current performance bottlenecks or designing a new application and want to know how best to structure your schema and index strategy for optimal performance, then Professional Training have the skills and experience to assist.   On our courses, you will get expert insight and learn best practices to help you identify those areas of database and application design that will give you the greatest benefits for performance.

We can provide focused consultancy or training.  Click here or contact us for more details on this and our other Oracle courses or Consulting. 




Java Programming
Since its release in 1995, Java is widely considered to be the most popular platform for web development.  Most versions are now free software, with the move by Sun to comply with the specifications of the Java Community Process concluding in May.

Experienced programmers in other languages coming to Java need to focus on procedural and structured coding skills first, followed by in-depth coverage of object-oriented concepts and how to apply them to Java software design and development.

Our Java Programming course for programmers who have not used Java is the ideal solution.  Click here for more details or contact us for in-house courses.











Goal Based Project Management
In today's business environment, Project Managers need to be highly skilled in the management of communications, human resources, procurement, quality, time, costs, documentation, systems integration, etc.  Good Project Management is vital if you want to:

- Exceed customer expectations
- Maximise the use of your resources
- Bring your project to a successful conclusion - on time   and within budget
- Document the process for future reference
- Build confidence in your team for future projects

Our one day, highly focused Goal Based Project Management programme is a practical solution for project leaders and their teams, who find themselves working through a myriad of projects, but have not yet made the paradigm shift where they see their evolving business structure as a series of project-centric teams.  

The course may be viewed as a pre-cursor to our PMI approved courses or as a practical solution to providing PM skills in evolving teams.  Click here for more details  or contact us for in-house courses.






Performance Improvement
On average, we use less than 4% of the power of our minds.  What about that missing 96%?  Just how much could we achieve if we used our brains a little bit better? 

In a business and personal environment where competition is frenzied and we strive for the slightest advantage, are we missing the most obvious area for potential improvement?

Professional Training's '96% Programme' addresses these questions and empowers participants to make far-reaching improvements in their professional and personal lives.

Since July, 2006 over 500 participants have benefited from this unique programme.
