Bridging the gap between academia and employment
“FDM can help you pursue a career in IT, whether you have an IT background or not. I now know how to behave and work at a client site, and was given the opportunity to work on a real project during the Oracle module.”
Raeika Memari - FDM Mountie
A practical grounding in Oracle SQL is essential for a career in IT, even though it is not always covered in-depth on university IT courses. Our SQL course, which you complete at home before joining the Academy, gently brings you up to speed with the essentials.
From novice to expert in six weeks
Our course will guide someone with no technical experience to an advanced skill level in Oracle SQL, and give you transferable skills that apply to other database platforms such as SQL Server. The first half of the course deals with essential database concepts and the particulars of the Oracle system. The second half concentrates on SQL syntax. You will learn how to combine a range of techniques and functions to perform complex queries, and have sufficient theoretical understanding to know how databases are structured and implemented.
A final phase covers PL, Oracle's programming language. As well as broadening your Oracle skillset, this part of the course provides you with the basics of programming, thus preparing the ground for other technologies such as Java and .NET.
Once completed, you will be eligible for progression into the FDM Academy where you will receive supervised tuition on a variety of technologies to industry-recognised standards.
