Highly Reviewed by Our Alumni

From our hands-on training style to world-class instructors and custom-crafted curriculum, we deliver results our alumni are proud of.

Took the SQL level 1 course with no prior knowledge. It was extremely helpful and it went a pace slow enough for me to understand, while being fast enough that I did not get bored.

Jack D.

SQL Level 1 is a great course to introduce you to writing SQL queries. Starting with the basics, by the end you will understand complex queries with inner or outer joins. Peter was our instructor and his customized course material is very well laid out with practical examples. You work on a local sample database, so you can type notes and test your queries to better understand the output you get. The facility is neat, the equipment is fairly new and ready to use, and beverages are provided.

Martie B.

This class was a great introduction. The instructor made the material relevant and fun. He did a great job reinforcing the basics and laying the groundwork to continue advancing with next course levels.

Colleen M.

Great Class. Super intense. Love the fact that you can retake it once free of charge.

Very informative, great teacher, one good thing is you can retake once for no cost.

Michael G.

I took a SQL level 1 class on a Saturday and it was soo helpful. The instructor was humorous, extremely knowledgeable, and was an efficient communicator. He knew exactly how SQL was utilized in a real-world business aspect and was able to give examples of times you'd need to use certain queries and how they can be used most effectively.

Eric B.

I took SQL Levels 1, 2 and 3 with Peter. He is a great instructor who provides practical training you experience with databases. He was very clear with the explanations. Highly recommended!

The class was very informative, the instructor was very detailed & I highly recommend the course for all SQL beginners.

    SQL Level 3 is exactly what I hoped to learn about creating databases and best practices relating to the creation and maintenance of them. I valued my time in this class and feel like I am walking away significantly better off than I was before this class.

  • Tyler S. Analyst @ Vita Coco Feb 7, 2020
    SQL Server Level I

    My experience at Career Center was extremely valuable. In one day I was able to feel confident querying databases to get desired results and perform analysis. Real-world examples make the experience even more valuable.

  • Peter S. Jan 28, 2020
    SQL Bootcamp

    The SQL classes were great. The instructor went at a good pace. I took the three day option back to back. We covered quite a bit of content and it really solidified my understanding of SQL. It helps to come in with some prior knowledge.

  • Judy Y. Data Analyst @ VTS, Inc. Jan 4, 2020
    SQL Server Level I

    I had self taught myself SQL while on the job a couple of years ago. I took this as a refresher since I haven't used SQL in a while and I left learning a lot more b/c I finally understood why everything worked a certain way.

    The SQL I class was thorough, enjoyable, and made learning SQL easy! Will definitely continue the SQL courses and come back for Python. Great teachers and classrooms.

  • Alie R. Aug 5, 2019
    SQL Server Level I

    I felt that this class was a great introduction to SQL, coming from someone who had very little exposure to it before the class. They broke it down for us in a very comprehensible manner and provided examples along the way that we could practice. I look forward to taking Level 2!

  • Chris G. Jun 12, 2019

    I took the SQL Level 1 course and had a great experience. The course was very thoughtfully laid out, with easy to follow materials provided. The teacher was great and answered all questions well. Overall, I definitely recommend the course and will be taking more courses from NYIM in the future.

Learn SQL for database analysis

SQL lets you work with information stored in relational databases. You can retrieve selected records, combine related tables, and summarize data to answer business questions. The same foundations support analysis, reporting, and many software workflows.

NYIM offers SQL training in Manhattan and live online, with beginner through advanced options. Choose a bootcamp for a coordinated sequence or compare individual levels if you already have experience.

Choose your database system

The SQL Bootcamp teaches querying with Microsoft SQL Server. The SQL Bootcamp (PostgreSQL) covers PostgreSQL. Both develop core SQL skills, but they use different software and have differences in syntax and functions. If your workplace uses one of these systems, that is a useful starting point for your choice.

A relational database stores information in tables made up of rows and columns. Related tables can be connected through keys. SQL queries specify the information you want and the conditions it should satisfy.

Progress through the SQL Server levels

  • SQL Server Level I introduces database concepts and the foundations of retrieving information with SQL.
  • SQL Server Level II develops more complex querying skills and builds on the first level.
  • SQL Server Level III covers advanced techniques. Review its outline and prerequisites to check whether it is the appropriate next step.
  • The SQL Bootcamp combines all three SQL Server levels. PostgreSQL also has its own bootcamp and individual levels in the course listings.

Use SQL to answer clear questions

A query often starts with selecting columns and filtering rows. Joins bring related information together, and grouping lets you summarize records. Aggregate functions such as SUM, COUNT, and AVG calculate totals, counts, and averages.

More advanced work can include subqueries and reusable query logic. The goal is to produce a result that answers the question correctly, not simply to write a query that runs. Check for duplicates, missing values, and joins that unexpectedly change the number of rows.

How SQL fits with Excel and dashboards

SQL retrieves and summarizes data; spreadsheets and visualization tools can support further analysis and communication. The Data Analytics Technologies Bootcamp combines SQL with Excel and Tableau for students who want to develop skills across that workflow.

Understanding the underlying data makes a report easier to trust. Be able to explain which records are included, how tables are related, and what a calculated value represents before presenting the result.

Prepare for classroom or live online training

Check your course's dates, location, software requirements, and computer setup instructions. Live online students use their own equipment and should complete the required setup before class. Classroom students should review the facilities information for the scheduled Manhattan session.

NYIM also offers private training for teams. Describe your database system, the experience of the participants, and the queries or reports they need to create so the training can be matched to those needs.

Build skills for your role

SQL is useful in analytics, business intelligence, development, and database work. These roles require different combinations of knowledge. Querying skills are a foundation; tasks such as database architecture, security, and application development can require additional training and experience.
