Structured Query Language Training Courses


NameDescription
SQL Scripting This one day course provides an introduction to SQL (Structured Query Language) for non IT developers. It is aimed at anyone who needs to know how to extract finance and non-finance data from databases within their organisation. SQL is a fundamental tool used to interrogate databases and is a core component of data analytics.

The course goes through the language that queries these databases, looking at its syntax and structure in order to return the relavent data. The last few topics are short examples of the use of SQL in modern Data Analysis, which would form a bridge to further learning with Power BI etc.

The course will be hands-on with scripts being executed on a SQL Server database, but the skills learned can be applied to any SQL based database.

Cloud Database querying using Excel and SQL This is a hands-on introduction to querying cloud-based databases using Excel and explores the simplest way to get data from the cloud with SQL. Effective use of SQL and examples of its use in modern Data Analysis will be covered and visualisation of the data to ascertain key business insights will be demonstrated, allowing participants to implement new skills in their roles.
