  • This course is designed to give a detailed introduction to using and understanding structured query language (SQL) for manipulating business data. More and more companies rely on IT systems that store information in databases. This information is typically retrieved using SQL and its use is becoming widespread amongst not just IT teams but business users also.

    The course contains walk through videos, printed documents of the course material as well as links to resources you need to be able to carry out the course.

    The course is laid out over 3 levels starting with the very basics and assumes no prior SQL knowledge, right up to level 3 where we will be looking at Microsoft SQL Server specific functionality to really harness the power of a SQL database.

    If you need to access any data be it online or within your own company then this course is for you. Financial systems form the hub of any business these days and many job roles require some level of SQL ability. This course will equip you with the knowledge you need to perform these tasks within your business or employment to improve your prospects.

    Most business systems utilise some form of SQL database, typically Microsoft SQL Server which is why this course focuses on that particular product. Additionally we can download a free express version of the product to work through the course.
