Can I take this course while working full-time?

Yes, this course is fully asynchronous, so you can learn at your own pace.

However, don't expect it to be a passive experience where you only watch videos and read presentations! More than half of the content of this course is practical, with:

  • Demos: quick recordings where we show you concrete examples applying technical concepts from the course
  • Tutorials: guided exercises with step-by-step instructions to reproduce use cases
  • Exercises: advanced use cases to build on your own with video correction

Combining theory and practice ensures you reach your goal: to apply what you learn and build with databases.
