Testimonials from Past Participants

A banking technology department manager: This training was remote and very convenient. Not only was it free, but it also provided cloud servers for practice. Most importantly, the video explanations were very detailed, and the instructor answered questions in the group patiently and promptly. We came with specific questions and learned in a targeted way, which was very effective. For example, the lesson on the client helped us correct some previously inaccurate practices.

Auditor at Jiangxi Bank headquarters: The training model is innovative, focusing on the learner experience. Unlike one-way lectures, it emphasizes interaction and communication. After the training, course notes are compiled and shared with participants. Post-lesson exercises and periodic tests play a crucial role in reinforcing learning and validating outcomes. The instructor's detailed explanations and Q&A provided a great start for learners of all backgrounds to quickly grasp, deepen their understanding, get hands-on experience, and prepare for future use of the product.

Big Data Project Manager at Hand Enterprise Solutions: This training spanned over ten days, requiring just 1–2 hours per day. It covered everything from GBase's history and features to deployment, installation, routine usage, and monitoring—very comprehensive. You had to pass unit quizzes before taking the final certification, and with high scores and active participation, you could even get exam and certificate fees waived. I must say the arrangement was spot-on, with both carrots and sticks. Haha, I love this approach—it motivates interest, encourages broad participation, and prevents the course from being just a formality. I highly recommend those who haven't joined yet to jump into the next session.

Technical Expert at the IT Department of Bank of Chongqing: To address the performance bottleneck of centralized databases in data analysis systems, Bank of Chongqing benchmarked several products on high availability, stability, cluster features, and cluster performance, and ultimately chose GBase 8a MPP Cluster to build its next-generation data warehouse. Through this training, I gained a deeper understanding of the infrastructure, core technologies, applicable scenarios, and SQL usage of GBase 8a MPP Cluster, along with hands-on practice, which will serve as a technical foundation for future work.

IT Product Manager at Jiangsu Mobile: The instructor's lectures were like a sumptuous feast, exquisitely presented in the training classroom. Truly, "A conversation with you is worth ten years of reading." The instructor shared experiences without reservation, explaining profound concepts in simple terms—truly brilliant.

Architect at an archival technology company in Hubei: The free GBase training gave me a whole new understanding of GBase products. The course had a lot of content; I spent a few days studying intensively, and the videos were very useful. I tested most of the content, and the database's SQL compatibility is excellent—aside from some specific syntax, it's largely compatible with common database products. I was able to migrate previous projects to the GBase database with ease. I must mention that the training is free, while similar training from other vendors can cost thousands. That's truly commendable, and it shows that GBase is building a genuine ecosystem rather than just chasing profits. I believe a company with such integrity will also produce great products.
