Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to learn SQL?

The time it takes to learn SQL can vary depending on your background and commitment. For someone new to programming, a basic understanding of SQL could be achieved within a few weeks of regular study. However, becoming proficient, especially in more complex database operations or specific SQL databases (like PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server), might take several months of practice.

Is SQL better than Python?

SQL and Python serve different purposes, so one isn't inherently better than the other. SQL is specialized for managing and querying databases, while Python is a general-purpose programming language that can handle a wide range of tasks, including data analysis, web development, and automation. For data-related jobs, both skills are often complementary rather than competitive.

Is SQL harder than Python?

For most beginners, SQL is often seen as easier to learn than Python because it has a narrower focus, dealing primarily with database manipulations. Python, while versatile, has a broader range of syntax and programming paradigms that can be more challenging to master initially.

Can I teach myself SQL?

Yes, SQL is well-suited for self-study. There are numerous resources available online, including tutorials, video lessons, and interactive platforms like Codecademy, Khan Academy, and freeCodeCamp, where you can learn and practise SQL at your own pace.

Is an SQL course easy?

An SQL course can be relatively easy for individuals who are comfortable with logical thinking and basic mathematics. The complexity of an SQL course would depend on the depth of material covered. Introductory courses that cover basics such as SELECT statements, basic functions, and simple joins are generally not difficult for most learners.

Can I learn SQL without coding?

Learning SQL does involve coding, but SQL code is quite different from other programming languages as it is declarative and specifically designed for database interactions. It's generally more straightforward and easier to grasp for those without a traditional programming background.

Is SQL a good job?

Proficiency in SQL can lead to various promising career paths in fields like database administration, data analysis, software development, and system management. Jobs that require SQL are often well-paid and in high demand.

Is SQL enough to get a job?

While SQL is a valuable skill, having additional skills related to the specific job you're interested in can be crucial. For example, data analysts might need to know Python and data visualization tools like Tableau or PowerBI, while database administrators might need in-depth knowledge of database architecture and security.

Is SQL in high demand?

Yes, SQL remains in high demand because it is crucial for almost all databases, business intelligence, and data management jobs. It's considered a foundational skill for many roles in IT and data-related fields, making it a valuable skill to learn.

Are there any prerequisites for taking the course?

There are no specific prerequisites for this course, nor are there any formal entry requirements. All you need is an internet connection, a good understanding of English and a passion for learning for this course.

How long will I have access to the course?

For this course, you will have access to the course materials for 1 year only. This means you can review the content as often as you like within the year, even after you've completed the course. However, if you buy Lifetime Access for the course, you will be able to access the course for a lifetime.

Is there a certificate of completion provided after completing the course?

Yes, upon successfully completing the course, you will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate can be a valuable addition to your professional portfolio and can be shared on your various social networks.

Can I switch courses or get a refund if I'm not satisfied with the course?

We want you to have a positive learning experience. If you're not satisfied with the course, you can request a course transfer or refund within 14 days of the initial purchase.

How do I track my progress in the course?

Our platform provides tracking tools and progress indicators for each course. You can monitor your progress, completed lessons, and assessments through your learner dashboard for the course.
