Structured Query Language (SQL) is the industry standard database programming language. It is one of the most in demand skills in occupations that require interaction with data and analyzing data. Through your knowledge of Structured Query Language, you will become more marketable in computer related career fields that pertain to database administration. Learning SQL can also lead to a job that is specific to analyzing data such as a data analyst, a quality assurance analyst, or a business analyst.
You’ll first learn about relational database structures, the history and uses of Structured Query Language, and how to use Structured Query Language to create a database, add records to database tables, and how to use SQL queries to extract meaningful data from database tables. You will quickly progress from creating simple SQL queries that query a single table to querying multiple tables simultaneously. You’ll also learn how to alter data in a database and how to gather significant statistics from data stored in a database. Finally, you'll learn techniques that will enable you to write powerful queries that perform complicated searches and sorts on your data. This certificate will enhance your competitiveness in the field of database administration and data analyst jobs.

Hear from our past students
I love this course, and I'm looking forward to the next two follow up courses to get my SQL certificate. I love the readings, the presentations, the discussions. This is the best I could have hoped for actually after being out of school for several years. - Dorothy R
(Introduction to SQL)
I would highly recommend this course as an introduction or even a refresher. Though I use SQL daily, I have taken away new tips and tricks for more effective ways to write queries, making me more efficient and productive. Ms. Cecelia has put together very thoughtful and thought provoking body of lessons to gently move you through each unit. You can tell she thoroughly enjoys SQL and takes great care in the lessons as well as the thoughtful responses to questions. Very impressed and SO glad I took the chance. I'm really looking forward to the Intermediate course! - Kathy S
(Introduction to SQL)
The course has a very nice pace and fits into one schedule seamlessly I like how it's structured reading material first, then presentation to reinforce the content read and then a quiz to put into practice what you have learned. With this being a new skill I am pursuing I must say I am pleased with how things going so far. - Keangelo M
