The eight-week foundation
Build the SQL foundation in a deliberate order.
Each week combines a prerecorded lesson, slide review, recall, and submitted work. Completing the sequence—not simply opening it—unlocks the project environments.
Week 01SQL foundations+
Understand databases, tables, rows, columns, and the structure of a query before writing your first statements.
Week 02Data integrity and constraints+
Work with keys, relationships, constraints, and the rules that keep business data reliable.
Week 03Logic and useful functions+
Filter, compare, calculate, and shape results with logical expressions and built-in SQL functions.
Week 04Joining business data+
Connect related tables and learn how join choices change the meaning and completeness of a result.
Week 05Subqueries, CTEs, CASE, and UNION+
Break larger questions into readable steps and combine results without losing the business logic.
Week 06Window functions+
Create rankings, running calculations, and comparisons while preserving row-level detail.
Week 07Variables and control flow+
Use variables, conditions, and loops to understand how repeatable database logic is assembled.
Week 08Stored procedures and SQL Agent jobs+
Package reusable logic, understand scheduled database work, and connect the pieces into a professional workflow.
The connected practice system
Work in the environment where the skill belongs.
The program moves from query practice to pipeline construction and reporting. Each workspace keeps the student focused on the decisions required at that stage.
01 · SQL Lab
02 · ETL DesignerBuild the movement and transformation of the data.
Select components, connect the flow, configure transformation rules, run the pipeline, and inspect the resulting model.
03 · Dashboard StudioTurn the model into a decision-ready report.
Arrange visuals, apply filters, preview the dashboard, and explain what the final report helps a business understand.
Progression without guesswork
Complete the work, then unlock what comes next.
There is no instructor approval bottleneck. The platform checks completion and opens the next environment when the required work is finished.
- 01Complete all lesson requirements
Video progress, slides, recall, and submitted assignments establish the SQL foundation.
- 02Build and run the ETL project
The ETL Designer unlocks after the lessons and requires a working data flow.
- 03Build the dashboard from transformed data
Dashboard Studio opens after the ETL task is complete.
- 04Unlock career preparation
Application resources and two mock interviews follow completed program and project work.
Before you apply
The program is structured, but the student still does the thinking.
A strong fit is someone who can make consistent weekly time, wants to troubleshoot, and is ready to build rather than copy. The next page explains the full process before asking for a fit check.

What students should know before starting.
Is the Data Analyst program designed for beginners?+
Yes. The curriculum begins with relational database and SQL foundations, then moves into joins, subqueries, window functions, stored procedures, ETL, and dashboard development.
How are the lessons delivered?+
Students follow prerecorded lessons, review the presentation slides at their own pace, complete recall activities, and submit the required assignment for each lesson.
How much time should I plan each week?+
A typical student should plan for approximately four to six hours per week. The actual time depends on prior experience and how much practice a concept requires.
Where do students practice SQL?+
SQL practice happens inside LearnFi's browser-based SQL Lab. Students can explore AdventureWorks objects, write and execute queries, review errors, and return to saved work in a later session.
Are SQL answers given to students?+
No. Students use the lesson and slides as references, then write their own queries. Assignments are checked after submission so students can understand what needs another attempt.
How do the ETL and dashboard projects unlock?+
Completing every lesson requirement unlocks the ETL project. Completing the ETL task then unlocks Dashboard Studio. Students do not need instructor approval to continue once the requirements are finished.
What career support is included after completion?+
After completing the enrolled programs and projects, eligible students can access the application resources and book two structured mock-interview sessions.
