“The Database Design with Microsoft SQL Server course was excellent value for money and well taught. It took us from very basic what is SQL questions through to more complicated coding in a short period and although our group had differing levels of experience we still all learnt something. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to jump in to SQL.”

The class was conducted in a way that each subject matter logically followed to the next, so that the subject was clear to understand, and enjoyable.
