SQL or Python courses (UK based)

Posted by HP_sauce78@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 4 comments

Hi I’ve just finished my degree in geography with quantitative methods where I learned and really enjoyed using R studio.

To be a little more employable haha, I was wondering if anyone knows any certified python or SQL courses (online or offline) that are accessible from the UK.

Thanks for any help 🙏🏻

Give the Acuity Training SQL course a go. They’re based in London and are quite well-regarded with solid reviews. Speaking from experience.

Certifications won't mean much. If you want something that'll cover Python, SQL and other CS topics, I'd strongly recommend you check out CS50x.

Certifications usually mean very little if anything for hiring managers, because there are 10000000 of them, and almost none of them say anything really about a candidates qualifications.

That being said, if you want to learn (woth our without cert): Learn Both.

I interview people regularly. It is absolutely hilarious how many people learn programming, and then know next to nothing about databases. RDBMs are the persistence layer for the VAST majority of software used in real world businesses. Knowing at least basics of SQL is an essential skill for a dev.
