How We Deliver Our SQL Training At The B.I. School

Two Days, On Site

Two day workshop delivered on site in your place of work.

You book a meeting room, invite the delegates and we’ll do the rest.

The sessions usually run from around 9.30 until 4pm, but we’ll fit it around you.

Two Days, Remote

Two day workshop delivered on remotely, so your team can work at their desks, or from home.

However, experience shows that sometimes it works better when everyone’s together in a meeting room – no distractions means greater focus!

Self-Paced Videos with Weekly Meeting

Get access to a suite of carefully curated video tutorials designed to take you through the training in simple steps.

We’ll have a weekly get-together to answer questions and review code, and to set expectations for the next week (usually to complete two videos).

We also offer ongoing support options to keep your team on track long after the formal training is complete.

This can be discussed on your consultation call.
