Data Management & SQL for Business Analysts

Data is a valuable corporate asset that is used to make informed business decisions. Companies are collecting larger volumes and varieties of data and storing it in different types of database management technologies.  The skills to access and use these databases, as well as a knowledge of programming languages such as SQL are in high demand.

Data Management & SQL Professional Training Course Offerings

Upcoming schedule for instructor led, live, online courses.

Please check back for scheduled classes.

A Certificate of Completion is provided with each course showing number of contact hours (instruction), and field of study as "Information Technology" for continuing education purposes. Most courses provides 14 contact hours and are equivalent to 1.4 CEU's.

The term CEU is not a trademarked term; therefore, any educational institution may use it to describe their courses. Professions and industries usually regulate their approved continuing education within their bylaws and not one institute or accrediting body has become a standard to accept in this regard.

Professionals should always consult their Association or regulating body prior to embarking on continuing education and not assume a CEU will be accepted as part of their professional development.
