SQL Level I is rated 5.0 stars

in the past 24 months

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.

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.

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!

Naveed K.

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

Kevin M.

Great beginners class! The instructor was entertaining as she taught. Learned the fundamentals! I would definitely recommend this course.

Randie S.

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.

Chris G.

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!

Alie R.

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.

Jeanette is a really wonderful teacher who is very helpful and explains SQL material very well.

Jenyu W.

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.

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.
