Training sessions and workshops are naturally also part of the services offered by credativ®.

In addition to workshops and training sessions tailored to your specific needs, we also offer standard training courses as remote events, at your location, or on a regular basis at our facility in Mönchengladbach. You can find our scheduled training dates under /en/trainings/. For our standard training courses, you can also request specific dates or reserve spots directly there.

Training from Practitioners – Open Source Expertise since 1999

At credativ, you won’t find mere trainers, but active consultants: Our trainers plan, migrate, and operate productive open source environments daily – from highly available Proxmox VE clusters and business-critical PostgreSQL® databases from our PostgreSQL Competence Center to complex Linux infrastructures. This practical knowledge flows directly into every training session. You learn not only how a technology works, but also how it proves itself in real-world operation – including the pitfalls that no manual mentions.

We actively shape the technologies we teach

Our expertise doesn’t stop at applying: credativ has been actively co-developing open-source projects for over two decades – from PostgreSQL® and Debian to the Proxmox ecosystem. Those who co-develop a technology can also teach it thoroughly. Two examples from our company:

ProxLB - An Advanced Loadbalancer for Proxmox Clusters
ProxLB

The open-source load balancer for Proxmox VE from our company: ProxLB intelligently distributes workloads across the nodes of a cluster, thus closing a gap that many administrators are familiar with from other virtualization solutions.

Elephant Shed

Our open-source appliance for PostgreSQL®: Elephant Shed bundles database, monitoring, backup, and administration into an integrated solution – demonstrating what well-thought-out PostgreSQL® operation looks like in practice.

In addition, there are many years of contributions to PostgreSQL®, Debian, and many other projects in the open-source community – commitment that is directly reflected in the quality and depth of our training courses.

From open training to individual workshops

As a certified training partner of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH, we offer official Proxmox VE trainings with a certificate of participation – regularly, online, and in German or English. In addition, we conduct closed company trainings on your desired date and develop individual workshops that are precisely tailored to your environment and your questions – whether for preparing a migration, for deepening knowledge after a training, or for optimizing existing setups.

All current dates can be found in our training overview. For company trainings and individual content, please contact us directly.

The credativ®
Open Source Support Center

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions:

Our support is focused on the actual needs of our customers. This means that we naturally offer more support than the traditional support offered by many manufacturers. But what’s important, and this applies for any software that is operated in business-critical areas, is that the operation is appropriately secured. This is where we provide technical support at the manufacturer level with guaranteed service level agreements.
All of our employees are experienced Open Source developers and administrators. We are the replacement for missing manufacturer support, and support the entire lifecycle of your Open Source software by means of our Open Source Support Center. We provide the necessary support and all the services for your entire Open Source stack under one roof.
Our service and support contracts take account of your interests, not those of investors. We deliberately use completely different contract and price models to those of countless international software manufacturers and are proud that our fair support offers are a solid and reliable basis for long-term and successful cooperation with large national and international customers. We also want to provide a model that is completely independent of the usual factors, such as the number of users, the number of CPUs/cores and servers used or similar limiting factors. We would be pleased to discuss further details with you personally. More about the operation of our Open Source Support Centers
