SQL and Python for Data Course

The SQL and Python for data course is for anyone who works with master records, quality, or governance and is tired of depending on somebody else every time they need to check their own data. I joke that a good part of my technology career was born from learning to handle what others thought was too complicated. SQL and Python stopped being programmer-only topics a long time ago.

The course is for data stewards, master data analysts, quality analysts, and any business professional who wants to stop waiting for a finished report and start investigating the data with their own hands.

What you learn in the course

You learn enough SQL to check for duplicates, inconsistencies, and empty fields in your own database, without depending on IT for every simple question. In Python, the focus is automating repetitive data quality tasks: comparing two spreadsheets, detecting error patterns in master records, building a report that used to take a full day of manual work.

This is not a programming course to become a developer. It is a tools course for people who already understand the business problem and want to stop depending on others to see their own data.

How MDM Academy teaches

I teach with real master data examples: a query to find suppliers with an expired document, a script to compare two material loads, a query to measure the fill rate of a mandatory field. The goal is to leave the course solving the problem you already have in your database, not memorizing syntax you will never use.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need programming experience to take the course? No. The course starts from zero, designed for people who have never written a line of code but already understand the data problem they need to solve.

Does the course teach SQL or Python first? We start with SQL, because it is the most direct tool for investigating a corporate database, and then move on to Python for the tasks that call for automation.

Is it suitable for people who work with Excel day to day? It is made for exactly that profile. Much of the pain of living in spreadsheets disappears once you learn to query the database directly at the source.

Is this course about data science or advanced analytics? No. The focus is practical and applied to the quality and governance of master data, not advanced statistics or machine learning models.
