Description

The course includes a series of video lectures combined with a variety of conceptual and hands-on activities to help you develop the skills to identify the critical characteristics of databases and work with

You’ll learn about database design and modelling essentials. Here you’ll learn about the Database Management System, which is the system in charge of the control, storage, organisation, and retrieval of data through end-user applications.

You’ll then explore the most common features of the SQL programming language using Microsoft’s SQL Server. During the final part of the course, we’ll focus on MySQL, an open-source relational database management system. In this module, you’ll learn the fundamentals of data management using MySQL.

The course is divided into three modules and includes knowledge tests at the end of each section.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
