## Overview

In this certification program, you’ll learn to write SQL queries, extract and analyze data, and generate insights from relational databases. This hands-on training uses PostgreSQL and the DBeaver app, but the skills apply to other platforms like SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle SQL. This program includes:

- Our SQL Bootcamp (18 hours total)
- Six (6) hours of private tutoring (two 3-hour sessions)
- The [Oracle Database SQL Certified Associate exam,](/exams/oracle-database-sql-certified-associate-exam) with a free retake included
- Guidance on PostgreSQL-to-Oracle differences during private training
- Access to additional study materials for exam preparation
- Option to replace the exam with one additional hour of private tutoring

_Please note that this course teaches PostgreSQL, which is similar to Oracle SQL. Differences can be reviewed during the private training sessions to help you prepare for the certification exam._
