ProOpenSource is now an Open Alliance for PostgreSQL Education Supporter

What Is Open Alliance for PostgreSQL Education (OAPE)?

The OAPE is the recently founded organistion that will offer indipendent community PostgreSQL certifications.

Why Becoming A Supporter

For years there have only been companies offering PostgreSQL certifications.

I always believed, that the PostgreSQL community could do better with community based certifications.
A community based certification has the advantage, that even the process itself becomes public.

The program needs people doing the work and to create the exams and the certifications.

First Chance To Become A Certified PostgreSQL DBA

The PostgreSQL Conference Europe 2026 has an addition Community Day. On this day the OAPE offers the PostgreSQL Open Certification Level: DBA-1.

You have to register yourself for the Community Day to get certified on that day. For details please see OAPE Meetup and the Exam.
