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 really enjoyed this class and feel like it built on the material that I learned in the Intro class. Cecelia does a great job at providing examples for complicated queries that are easy to understand. I am looking forward to taking the Advanced class in August.

(Intermediate 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!
