By Johnson Ogege on 6/22/2026

It a learning platform this is easily accessible

By Clara Diva Paramitha on 11/13/2025

i love how attentive the instructor was. i mean, i'm currently reviewing SQL, so i'm not as strange to SQL, but it's been years since i used it last so i forgot a lot. but i never need to worry because the instructor talked calmly and clearly about everything so it felt like i'm truly learning from zero. he also gave practices for me to apply what i just learned, and what's better than learning by practice? thank you, kind Sir.

Very helpful and well-explained course. I learned a lot about SQL Server. Highly recommended

By Greg Davis on 10/9/2025

SQL inquiry is not working well with version thats used in the class. As a result, Query is not executing so I can not indulge in following along with class examples.

By Fira Safitri Rizkiyanty on 10/3/2025

clear and structured explanations. i had no knowledge of SQL before, but now i can understand and use its features thanks to this course.

By Priya Mehta on 9/15/2025

I is good, but i can include teaching more and should inlude more advance things

By Obidele Luqman Adedamola on 9/9/2025

This was well explained though there had been updates from Microsoft, I was still to use it and got it sorted. Also thank you for reply to my messages when I was stuck.

By Muhammad Zaky Muqoddas on 9/4/2025

The course gave me brief yet straightforward knowledge about every SQL aspect. Easy to understand as every function or clause has each explanation in its slide. I really loved how the course was designed with "scenario" for every question to challenge us. Thanks

By Nwabuwe Divine on 8/25/2025

this is my first time ever engaging sql using this teaching and it is very well detailed and explained
