Last year, during the first few months of quarantines, I ran free training classes to help y’all pass the time and raise your skills.

It’s March 2021, and so many of us around the world are still stuck indoors, not going into work, not seeing our friends, dealing with mask breath.
So let’s do another round of free live classes – this time around, in Europe-friendly times, 8:00-16:00 UTC.
- March 23: Fundamentals of Index Tuning iCal – prerequisites
- March 30: Fundamentals of Query Tuning iCal – prerequisites
- April 6: Fundamentals of Columnstore iCal – prerequisites
- April 26: Fundamentals of TempDB iCal – prerequisites
No registration required – just do your prerequisites, then show up at www.BrentOzar.com/training/live/ a few minutes before the class starts and join in on the fun.
The classes will be recorded, but the Instant Replay recordings will only be available to folks who bought the classes or my Recorded Class Season Pass.
You might be asking, “Brent, how can you keep taunting Europeans about things they can’t buy? Why bother doing classes in European times if the Europeans can’t get the recordings?”
And I’ve got some very good news about that. Stay tuned!

I am beyond excited at this training teaser! Hope because you are in Iceland you now have some kind of ‘get out of GDPR free card’! Northern Ireland DBAs welcome this GMT friendly free training!
Go straight to jail, do not stop and pass and collect your $200…
This is awesome — I can’t wait (I will, though)!
Ohh yess!! Still hoping you will some day manage to allow us European guys to give you money 🙂
Just the first iCal file is for 8:00 to 16:00 UTC, the rest is for 9:00 to 17:00. Is that correct?
Many thanks for your generosity. You are great!
They’re all for 8:00-16:00 UTC. You might be in London or another time zone that changes in the summer, perhaps?
I am an idiot. Sorry. You are right. There is a summer time shift at 28th of March in my zone.
Awesome News Brent, thank for sharing your trainings with The Europeans.
It will be great when we can BUY your course from you and live in the EU. I think you need to fund another 4X4 purchase 🙂
All my colleagues will be there, for sure. I already spread the word in the company. Thanks, Brent !
Prerequisites mention you should download the slides as preparation, but those are only for people who paid. Will attendants get the slides in another way, or is it a non-essential prerequisite?
Those are optional. Enjoy!
Awesome! Will for sure follow these classes. Thanks Brent!
Finally !!!
Good news everyone! We are celebrating, Brent is coming to Europe!
Awesome! Thank you Brent.
Regarding the good news I would reply: “Shut up and take my money!” 😉
Thank you Brent for doing this for us in Eurpoe, ive been to your classes before and i know they are top noch already looking forward to it.
Thanks Brent, I’ve let the developers know at work. It’s good if we all know how to construct good queries. I’m disheartened by ‘select *’, heaps, hinting, cursors, loops when datasets can be used.
I also warned them to behave as it’s free 🙂
Good news incoming …!!!!! I best start saving up then 🙂
Halló Brent
What are the possibilities to have those classes on demand? I am at work during these days 🙁 and I would really like to attend/watch.
George – give the post another careful read-through. Enjoy!
Thanks Brent! For everything – giving to community and FINALLY having possibility to buy your training classes in EU! I don’t know how this miracle happens!
Quote from above: “You might be asking, “Brent, how can you keep taunting Europeans about things they can’t buy? Why bother doing classes in European times if the Europeans can’t get the recordings?”
And I’ve got some very good news about that. Stay tuned!”
Oh… my… word.. did my letter to the European Commission really help? Cannot wait to be able to purchase your training vids here in Europe! The day it will come available will become a recurring memorial day in my agenda for the rest of my life! 🙂
Something changed with the website – I’m in the USA but all your prices are showing in pounds on https://training.brentozar.com 🙂
Yep, click on the buy button and all the currency options are shown. Cheers!
