Data Mining Training Courses

I have been trying to use SQL 2005 data mining for about 8 weeks. I am becoming frustrated because I am not able to make progress nor am I able to exploit the power of the system.

I need a training course! I have asked Microsoft in UK for recommendations but they have been unable to help. I have searched for courses in the UK and US without sucess.

I am coming to the Microsoft BI event in Seattle - will there be any opportunities there to get help or find help? (In Seattle I intend to concentrate on the Excel add ins)

Thank you

Solid Quality Learning offers a 3-day course on Data Mining with SQL Server 2005 (http://learning.solidq.com/na/CourseDetail.aspx?IdCourse=177). Try contacting them for schedules and more info.

Product team folks (including myself) will be present at the BI Conference next month so you can get some pointers (the Ask the Experts sessions would be a good bet). There should also be opportunities for interacting with partners/consultants who have experience with SQL Data Mining.

If you would like to connect with us at the BI Conference you can set up a meeting. MeetingPoint is a feature hosted on the conference registration site which enables you to request a scheduled meeting with a named MS contact. Feel free to invite myself (Donald Farmer) and I'll ensure others are included too.

See you at the conference!

Thank you

Your suggested course illustrates the problem - there are no courses scheduled at this time. However I will persue this with SolidQ.

I will look out for the Ask the experts sessions at the conference.

Using the conference facilities I have suggested a meeting date and time with Donald Farmer.

Thank you again
