I give away a lot of stuff in various places on the internet: videos, scripts, the new free tier of SQL ConstantCare®, and I’ve got more tricks coming soon.

But until now, it’s been kind of a hassle because they’ve been scattered all over the place, not in a sensible order to help you onboard gradually.

So now, my shop page has a simplified set of bundles, starting with an absolutely free membership:

This new Free Stuff bundle will make it easier for me to put my free resources all in one place, in a more logical order. Folks can track their progress through the resources, checking chapters off as they work through ’em.

I updated my free How to Think Like the Engine class this week with a new recording using the 50GB Stack Overflow 2013 database. This way, people can get started on the exact same database that I use throughout the Fundamentals classes, making it a little easier to get onboard.

I’ve also made my How I Use the First Responder Kit class completely free. I’ve always believed that if I can solve your problems for free, then I wanna be the person who does that, so I might as well put you in the best position possible to use the FRK scripts.

For the pros, I’ve also added a new Mentoring tier.

The Mentoring tier includes everything in Mastering, plus:

• Quarterly 30-minute Zoom calls with just you & me, talking about whatever database pains you’re up against
• Monthly server review emails from me – I go through your SQL ConstantCare® data, look at the server having the most performance issues (or the one you request), and give you my thoughts about what steps to take to improve performance

That tier is $3,495/year for 1 person. It’s designed for folks who don’t quite need my full 2-day hands-on SQL Critical Care® engagement, and just want periodic feedback from time to time.

Frequently Asked Questions

“If I have an existing subscription, does this change anything?” Nope! Not at all. You can continue with your current one, or if you’d like to change something, you can cancel your existing subscription and pick up one of these instead. (We don’t have the ability to upgrade in place.)

“Can I still buy classes individually?” Yep! Just keep scrolling down on the shop page. The vast, vast majority of my buyers pick up the bundles so I keep those at the top.

“Can I buy the mentoring without training?” No, because often my advice includes a link to a specific training module to explain the issue you’re facing.

“Can I get group discounts?” Yes, if you’re enrolling 5 or more people in the same membership tier, email us at Help@BrentOzar.com with the tier you want, and the list of email addresses to register, and we’ll get you a quote.
