I recently completed the Professional Certificate in SQL Programming (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business, and I must say it was a solid experience. As a data scientist in Denmark, I was looking to refresh my SQL skills and learn some new tricks, and the course delivered. The instructor did a good job of covering the key topics, including data modeling and database performance optimization. I appreciated the focus on practical applications and the use of relevant examples from various industries. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and I liked the fact that the instructor provided additional resources for further learning. While I didn't find the course to be particularly challenging, I still gained some useful insights and skills that I can apply to my work. Overall, I'd recommend the course to others looking to improve their SQL skills, but I wouldn't say it's the most comprehensive or rigorous course out there.
