About half of our courses are created bespoke for a single organisation, and either delivered onsite (usually somewhere in the UK, but we're willing to travel!) or online. For onsite courses we will usually provide and set up the necessary computers free of charge.

There are four main reasons why you might want to book tailored training like this:

  1. If you have 3 or more people, organising custom training will probably be cheaper than booking people individually onto a scheduled course.
  2. You'll be able to choose the content of any training, and be able to pause it for discussions on how you'll use software internally, or ask to take digressions.
  3. You may not be able to travel to our venues, so it might be easier to ask us to travel to you.
  4. You may not be able to make the dates of our published scheduled courses, and want to be able to choose when your training takes place.

If you'd like a quote for how much a tailored course would cost please let us know what you'd like to achieve and we'll get back to you (normally within half a working day).

What other people have said about our SQL training

Here are some comments we've received about our SQL training . You can see all of our 386 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.

"Sam is an excellent trainer who supported everyone throughout and his passion is (almost) catching!"

Claire Midwinter

Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service

"Brilliant Course and would recommend people do it, the lecturer was Outstanding and answered all Questions. I really liked how he explained things twice to ensure understanding of each topic."

Adam Lightfoot

Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust

"I thought using the remote desktop so that the trainer could see what we were doing on the screen was a really efficient way of running training. Time was made for questions and the trainer customised the training based on questions that were asked by the group. I learned so much from the three days. The YouTube videos were so clearly explained and were invaluable, they gave confidence that the course would be of high quality."

Mel Rea

Hertfordshire County Council

"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."

Mitch Chambers

Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)

"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."

Lucy Moor

Department for Education

"I took the Intro to SQL course and highly recommend it. Everything was organized and thoughtful from pre-course to the actual training. Our trainer was really good, knowledgeable, and friendly. As someone with no background in SQL, I was worried that I might not be able to go with the pace of training but our trainer made sure that everyone was getting along with the topics. Learned a lot and I'm excited to apply it all. Interested to learn more too!"

About this Bite-sized Joins in SQL course

Click on one of the tabs below to see the given information about this SQL course.

This half-day course will teach you how to get data out of SQL Server databases like this one:

Example of linked tables

You'll learn how to create joins linking tables together in different ways.

During the course we'll cover inner joins, outer joins, left joins, right joins and reticulated spline joins (only one of those is made up).

Pre-requisites

You should only attend this course if you already know how to create basic queries in SQL, and understand the structure of tables and databases.

What you'll need to bring

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

  1. A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
  2. A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed.  This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers using our whizzy Wordsworth online training system, and these computers will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

  • For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
  • For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it). We will also ask you whether you want to receive a printed copy of the course manual (and post this to you if you do).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
