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.

Genghis was AMAZING. He was so clear in his explanations, and especially helpful if you had a specific question. I am in an online bootcamp now and his instruction was fantastic and helped me tremendously. Great format to offer practice SQL exercises, and then review with the instructor.
