Turn the information in databases into useful insights by writing SQL queries. Once you understand the basics of viewing tables, columns, and rows, you’ll learn how to code queries to extract the specific information you want.
Learn how to filter the data, group it, and turn raw data into insights. Combine information from multiple tables using join statements. You’ll also learn more advanced techniques like aggregate functions, subqueries, and how to use functions with parameters.
In this hands-on course you’ll learn PostgreSQL and the free DBeaver app to explore the database and execute SQL queries you write. The concepts you’ll learn on PostgreSQL can be applied to other flavors of SQL (such as Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, etc.) with minor syntax differences.
With SQL you can answer questions from information stored in a database (the ultimate system of storing data for most companies). As nearly every industry is becoming more data-driven, having this skill will give you a larger role in decision-making wherever you work.
SQL is vital to anyone in business or any job that involves working with data: business analysts, data analysts, data scientists, web developers, business people, and many others.
From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.
The SQL bootcamp was amazing! Dan taught everything in a very concise manner, and the content was easy to digest and understand. I feel very confident in my personal abilities when it comes to using SQL, thanks to Dan!
Just what you'd hope to expect from a SQL bootcamp: a great instructor covering all concepts to adequately teach the SQL computer language!
I taught myself SQL 20+ years ago. I still have the book I bought as my bible. I took this class as a refresher and realized there were a few things I didn't teach myself. I wish I took this class 20+ years ago and DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone wanting to learn SQL. I will add this to my "bible" of resources going forward. AWESOME JOB!!
The classes were easy to understand for a non-native English speaker, and Dan was awesome. He is a great instructor.
This class is really helpful in learning more about SQL. The instructor was very helpful in explaining the tasks and subjects.
This was a great class. I took this as an online class, but it was just like being in the classroom. It's a lot of material to cover in only 18 hours, but it's nice to have all of the instruction slides & files as a way to reference the topics.
I learned SO much from this class. I loved the curriculum, the demo, and the hands-on practice. I plan to take more online courses now that I’ve experienced the in-person class.
I knew very little about SQL and walked away with more confidence. I'm excited to go back and practice what I learned.
Jeannette Howell is an exceptionally knowledgeable instructor. I had her for SQL and other classes in the Data Analytics track. She brings real-world knowledge directly from the workplace. I highly recommend you seek out classes with Jeannette - I am so very impressed with her knowledge and patience.
I would suggest this course to anyone wanting to learn SQL well enough to use on a day-to-day basis in a reasonably short amount of time.
After 18 short hours, I can now comfortably navigate my company's database and effectively use SQL to find the data that I need. This will be a big boost to my career. Thank you, Dan and company!
Great course & instructor. He's very easy-going and relatable. Was able to show basic concepts while comparing them to what might happen in "real life." Very helpful for what I needed to help accelerate my SQL learning. Thanks!
A solid foundation for SQL. The instructor is wonderful and very experienced in the field.
The class is thoughtfully structured, encompassing both theory and practical homework assignments. I found it easy to follow the course content and the provided materials. I was happy to have Jeanette as my SQL instructor and found that I could easily relate to the practical examples she used in the class.
My overall experience was great. Even though I had some basic understanding of SQL, I still learned a ton, consolidating my base knowledge and gaining more advanced knowledge. For anyone curious about SQL but also people who already have some knowledge of it, this course will give you a better understanding of how to use SQL in a more practical and applied manner. It walks through the basics and goes all the way to advanced concepts without leaving any students behind.
Dan made this class really enjoyable. The class material was well-structured. We covered a lot, but everyone was able to follow.
Dan made the SQL class easy to understand.
I liked how this course was taught. Dan is an excellent teacher and explains everything very clearly. It was very logical, and the material progressed nicely. I also liked the use of slides.
Excellent instructor. He has a great way of presenting the materials and is really clear, systematic, and patient with questions. Very knowledgeable and passionate about the topics. I had a really great experience.
The class is a springboard to be used towards progressing to that "next step," so practice is required. Dan knows his stuff...great to learn from somebody that's all about the business.
This class was very informative. Everything was really easy to understand. The instructor did a great job simplifying everything and answering our questions. I'm already putting my new SQL skills into practice at work.
I'd absolutely recommend this course to SQL beginners. (A basic understanding of relational databases, even just baseline Excel skills, are a plus.) The class content and structure were excellent. The format repeated PowerPoint presentation - coding demo - hands-on exercise for each new topic, which meant students never spent too long focusing on a lecture and always had a chance to apply what we'd just been taught immediately, which made the content stick. The instructor, Dan, was extremely well-prepared and well-paced, and is an engaging speaker who made three days of 8-hours-each code instruction digestible and interesting. I also thought Dan did a great job of balancing online and in-person students — hybrid is harder than he made it look, and I felt I had more than enough of his attention as an online attendee.
Great class to take for SQL!
This was a great start to learning PostgresSQL as my instructor provided us with all the materials to become proficient in the language.
If you want to learn SQL and get plenty of hands-on practice with an instructor who provides the business context, this is course will meet your needs.

Data has become central to almost every job on the market and it is becoming an increasingly necessary skill to know how to handle and control data. As data is becoming larger, databases are now the only mode of storage that can handle the quantity. However, in order to work with a database, one must know SQL.
In this training you’ll learn Microsoft SQL Server, but the core concepts can be applied to other flavors of SQL (such as PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access, MySQL, etc.) with minor syntax differences.
Which version of SQL should you learn? You should learn the version of SQL used by the company you’ll be working with, but if you don’t know that here’s a guide to help:
Whichever you end up learning, the concepts are transferrable to other SQL flavors with minor syntax differences. So if you’re not sure, choose the one based on whether you use Mac or Windows.
You are not required to complete any work outside of class.
You will learn how to explore and query data in a database, use join statements, filter data using various techniques such as subqueries, aggregate functions, and much more.
