SQL, or Structured Query Language, is a programming language used to manage data in a relational database. It enables businesses to sift through and analyse vast amounts of data to answer strategic business problems that ultimately aid companies in gaining a competitive advantage. Because of this, more and more companies (from start-ups to multi-national conglomerates) across various sectors are looking for professionals well versed in SQL.

 

This full-day workshop will walk you through real-life business problems and teach you the necessary skills you need to solve these problems using SQL.

 

Workshop Agenda:

MBASQL.com’s tried and tested approach is guaranteed to help you rapidly upskill:

  • Watch: Every lesson starts with an introduction to a new concept where we will cover the theoretical aspects of the functionality.
  • Play: Students will then put on the hat of a category manager and be invited to think about how each concept can be used in a business setting
  • Do: In each lesson we will answer a problem together; this problem will test and re-affirm all the concepts we’ve learned in the watch portion of the lesson.
  • Challenge: Once we have completed an example, students will be challenged with a problem they must solve using the online integrated SQL playground.

After the workshop: Students will have six-months access to tools and materials, and continue to get support on the #slack channel.

Workshop requirements: A laptop with a browser installed.

Who can attend: MBAs, business analysts, startup entrepreneurs

Price: KD 180 (including lunch)
