I took Dr. Allison's online course. It was very well-designed, building up from foundational information to more complex items. There were numerous hands-on query practice exercises, which really allowed one to learn the material. After completing the course, I feel confident that I understand enough to begin writing queries and putting the knowledge into practice. Thank you, Dr. Allison!

I have taken Cecelia's Intro to SQL course, and I highly recommend Cecelia as an instructor. The material is well-organized, and easy to follow. Cecelia is knowledgeable with her subject matter, and responds readily to questions from her students, with full explanations, and "real-life" examples. She is pleasant and professional, and I intend to take more classes from Cecelia.

Cecelia is a must have instructor. I've been in the the technology business for 20 years providing and receiveing LMS. Ceceilia has the ability to make complicated materiel appear simple. Her designed curriculum in an intro to SQL course will lull you into believeing that you are a subject matter expert until you take her exam! In her exam you will be challenged and continue to learn. Her hands on exercises and real world examples in database management are encouraging to professionals and removes the the "intimidation" factor in working with Database Adminstrators and the database enabling me to be a more effective Project Manager. Thank you Cecelia!

I had the privilege of being a student in Dr. Cecelia Allison's Introduction and Intermediate to SQL course, and I am about to start the Advance SQL course. The course materials were very clear, well-organized, and easy to use. Going into the course I was scared because I’m a visional learner. Dr. Allison made it so easy with her step-by-step presentation videos and reading material. I said to myself I had this course in the bag. I must say that she is a phenomenal instructor, and I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn SQL. Also make sure to check out her YouTube Channel.

I took Dr. Allison's SQL courses. Dr. Allison is an outstanding instructor and learning facilitator, who makes complex information easy to absorb, and is always an available resource when clarification is needed. I am now a key management resource in my department for all things "SQL". I also purchased her book, "SQL Simplified:", and use it constant source in real world medical data retrieval scenarios. Great teacher, great author!

I have had the pleasure of following Dr. Cecelia Allison on her YouTube channel where she excels at teaching SQL concepts in a clear, engaging, and accessible manner. Her dedication to making complex database querying techniques understandable to a wide audience is truly commendable. Dr. Allison possesses an exceptional talent for breaking down intricate SQL topics into manageable, bite-sized pieces, which makes learning SQL not only educational but also enjoyable. Her ability to simplify complex database concepts while providing practical examples and real-world applications is what sets her apart as an outstanding educator in the SQL community. She has a genuine passion for helping others succeed in their journey to mastering data manipulation and analysis. I highly recommend Dr. Allison as a great teacher to anyone seeking to enhance their SQL skills or embark on a journey into the world of data analytics. Her engaging instructional style, depth of knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm for SQL make her an invaluable resource for both beginners and seasoned professionals. It's been a pleasure learning from Dr. Allison's Channel, and I eagerly anticipate the wealth of knowledge and insights she will continue to share with the community through her exceptional content.

Dr. Allison was the Course Developer and On-line Professor of the SQL Certificate that I completed. I started the course with working knowledge of relational databases but did not have any experience in programming or querying using SQL. I was out of my element when I did the first unit in the Introduction to SQL. I felt as though I had stepped into a totally different world. Dr Allison assured me that I would be OK and that I needed to just take my time to understand. Every time I had questions or difficulties understanding concepts, I would post it in the discussion area. Dr Allison always responded quickly to my questions with thoughtful answers to help my understanding. I have now completed the SQL course. I have learned so much and have confidence in my skills. Without Dr Allison’s support and excellent materials (reading materials, online presentations, quizzes and discussion areas), I would not have completed this course. Instruction was the BEST I have ever had in the online learning community. I will take any other course that Dr Allison is offering online because I know I will receive the attention and information I need to be successful. Thank you again.

Dr. Allison is a great instructor! Her course materials were clear and easy to use. I gained a lot of insight from her video examples and lectures. After taking her Introduction to SQL course, I feel confident in my beginning SQL skills as she provided ample opportunity to practice and extend my learning. I especially appreciated her optional exercise assignments, which served as a personal check to see that I had mastered the content. She is really attentive to the discussion boards and offered very helpful clarification and additional resources that I found very helpful. If you are new to SQL or want to sharpen your skills, I definitely recommend taking a course from her.

Cecelia Allison taught me SQL online. She led me very gently through a new programming language. Less than a week after the end of her class, I encountered SQL for the first time in the statistical programming language SAS. Thanks to Cecilia's instruction, I felt right at home. Thanks, Ms. Allison!

Her enthusiasm and expertise in this field made my learning experience very rewarding.

Cecelia took the mystery out of SQL and made it understandable. Her course was perfect. She laid it out with real world problems in conjunction with the course database. Working from foundation and basics to more complex operations. With that said, I am ready to now use SQL for my employer and to advance into a SQL Analysis course. Thank you Cecelia!"

I recently completed Cecelia's online SQL class. It was clear, concise and just what I needed to enhance my skills. There are lots of great examples in each lesson which, along with the quizzes and assignments, ensure you have a thorough understanding of the subject. The Student Discussion area was monitored with timely responses to questions. I definitely recommend her class!
