SQL Courses for Beginners in NYC

The SQL Level I course will provide you with strong foundational skills within three core topics: Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMSs), SQL code, and Microsoft SQL Server. Using practical, hands-on exercises, our expert instructor will guide you through understanding database architecture and will develop your skills in writing real SQL code. Queries covered in SQL Level I include wildcard filters and multi-table queries with inner and outer joins.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to write SQL queries in Microsoft SQL Server. You'll also be able to apply what you've learned to other Database Management Systems (DBMSs) that are compatible with SQL, such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft Access.

Testimonials for Live Online Training

“Overall experience on Zoom was maybe even better than in IRL classroom because the instruction takes place right on your own screen, with less distraction. Great overall experience.”
“Given the fact that we had to do this entire class remotely due to Covid-19, I didn’t have very high expectations it would run so smoothly. However, I don’t think it could’ve gone any better. Not only do I feel very comfortable with the program now, but I’m actually excited to use it!”
“This was the first online class I’ve taken with ND and it was a great experience. Looking forward to the other classes I’ve signed up for!”
