Build your expertise in SQL Server by progressing from beginner to advanced skills. Learn to manage databases, write queries, and analyze data with guidance from certified instructors.
This course provides comprehensive training in SQL Server, with the aim of helping students achieve their certification in the language upon completing the course. This course covers basic, intermediate, and advanced SQL techniques, meaning students will start by learning core database concepts and the differences between major types of SQL (as well as their ideal use cases).
Intermediate and advanced training will cover advanced analysis techniques, including how to work with joins, data types, aggregate functions, and date/time operations to uncover deeper insights and organize complex datasets. Students will learn to write sophisticated queries and utilize techniques like subqueries, CASE expressions, views, functions, and stored procedures. Taken together, these are all key skills for roles in data analysis, data science, and database management.
This course aims to ensure that students, regardless of their skill level, are prepared to work with SQL Server in a professional capacity upon completing the course. Each student will receive a certificate of completion upon graduation, and they will be able to work alongside certified trainers and experts as part of the live course structure.

Garfield is an engaging and knowledgeable instructor. He has good jokes and makes the lesson pertinent.
Garfield was quite knowledgeable, patient and witty. He uses appropriate analogies to introduce and make concepts easier to understand.
Garfield was clear and concise; he demonstrated comfort with the material and made the class flow well.
Garfield was a great instructor. He provided instruction and then allowed us to work on our own so we could understand what we learned.
Garfield is simply the best.
The class was well organized and paced. I found the exercises extremely helpful.
This class is super interesting and very clearly tells me how to avoid future mistakes when I use those codes in SQL .
Great PowerPoint slides and really good exercises. Excellent class overall!
Great instructor. Very knowledgeable, easy to follow instructions, interactive, knows when to pause, slow down, or speed up.
Dan was an excellent instructor—well-organized, patient, and thoughtful in his teaching approach. I especially appreciated how he broke down the reasoning behind SQL code in a way that was both clear and practical. Rather than simply having us memorize lines of code, he focused on helping us truly understand the concepts and develop a problem-solving mindset. His approach made the learning experience much more meaningful and effective.
Dan was a great teacher, and everything was explained in detail, which made it easy to understand.
Dan is easy to follow, kind, and easy to understand. I will definitely be back for SQL 2 and 3.
I really enjoyed the class and would recommend it to anyone looking to sharpen their SQL skills. Although it is a full-day class, I felt like enough breaks were given, and the content was not overwhelming. The instructor was also extremely helpful. He provided feedback to everyone who submitted answers in the chat.
The teacher is a very patient, kind, and knowledgeable person.
Mr. Garfield was easy to work with, understanding, and explained everything clearly for a thorough understanding. Thank you for the explanation and details of how everything comes together.
I have been studying SQL for several months, and keep getting stumped. I think this is a great class, and it helped me understand a little more clearly. I still have a long way to go, but this was great.
I use MSSQL for my job and this was a great refresher, not to mention a chance to learn some new tricks. The instructor was great and her patience was spot on for everyone, it seems!
Jeannette is on top of SQL. She is a very good instructor and knows what she is doing. Her approach to is easy to follow and understand.
Jeannette is an awesome instructor!
I love Jeannette. I can tell that she really knows the software programs well and knows that there is a variety of methods to get to the same result. That enables her to be very helpful to students who are exploring the software and are thinking of how to do things in the best way they can.
The class content is well designed and the examples for practice are great, really excellent so far. I am encouraged that by the time I complete this bootcamp, I will be on the super highway for Data Analysts.
I learned more than I expected and am impressed by the live online training course. Jeannette was extremely knowledgeable. She took time to explain everything while constantly encouraging us to ask questions. I really appreciate how she incorporated a few personal stories because it helped me understand how things work in the real world. I really enjoyed this first course because of her.
Instructors at Noble Desktop are devoted to their students!
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.
