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 enjoyed the Advanced SQL class. I feel that it built nicely on the topics from the Intro and Intermediate classes. I feel like I have a good understanding of a broad spectrum of topics in SQL. It was great having Cecelia as the instructor, she is extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain complicated queries/statements in a clear manner. I would recommend the certificate program to anyone interested in learning about SQL. Thank you. - Jason S
(Advanced SQL)
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 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
