SQL Training
We can deliver SQL training for users of all levels, from newcomers looking to run simple database queries, to experts wishing to improve their SQL programming skills and compile complex queries, functions and procuedures.
We will consult with you before delivering any training to discuss how your team currently (or would like to) use SQL in order to put together a bespoke course that covers everything you need to do, and nothing you don’t.
Course content
Introductory courses will suit anybody looking to learn the basics of SQL programming as no prior knowledge is required. Intermediate courses will suit those who are already confident using SQL and want to optimise their programming skills for maximum efficiency.
Typical content covered may include:
Introductory course
- Fundamentals of relational databases
- Database schemas and models
- Understanding SQL syntax
- Building database queries

Training formats available
We can deliver SQL training on-site at your premises or online, in any of the following formats (click to find out more):
On-site Classroom Training
On-site IT classroom training – the classic setup. A room of people on laptops, and one instructor up the front.
Traditional yet interactive sessions for up to eight people. A lively modern approach combining presentation, live demonstrations, and hands-on practical sessions.
Online Virtual Classroom
Online training sessions held live in a virtual classroom environment via remote software such as Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
Delivery is in a similar structure to traditional training courses, except that the instructor and all attendees connect remotely on their computers.
Q&A Workshop Sessions
Q&A Workshops take more of a relaxed conversational approach to training. They can take place either in the form of a group forum, or with the instructor walking the floor of the office to speak to users in their day-to-day environment.
Many people find it easier to translate abstract theory into real-world examples and practice when they are outside the more formal environment of the classroom and sat at their own desk.
One-to-One Training and Consultancy
Individual one-to-one training sessions can go into greater depth than is viable in a group scenario, which can be extremely beneficial for power users.
Another popular application for one-to-one sessions is where a train-the-trainer approach is sought, in order to facilitate future in-house learning.
Costs
We will put together a training programme designed around your specific training requirements, so the cost will depend on this – tell us what you’re looking for and we can provide a quote or use this as a guideline:
SQL Training Costs
Notes
- Based on a full-day session with up to eight delegates. If larger class sizes are required the rate may be higher. Half-day sessions are not available on all subjects.
- Standard course design is included in our costs, with training content and syllabus based on your requirements. If extensive bespoke development is required (e.g. branded content, customised processes), there may be an additional design cost. This is chargeable at the same day rate as training for the same software product, and will be discussed and agreed with you before any design takes place.
- All attendees will be given access to online support materials; if bespoke printed documentation is required this will be subject to an additional cost that will be agreed before course design takes place.
- On-site training is delivered at the customer’s premises. All travel and/or accommodation costs will be discussed and agreed with you before travel to site takes place. All other activity (e.g. online training, course design etc) takes place at our own premises and is not subject to travel costs.
- All costs are exclusive of VAT.
