- Design and generate tables, forms, and reports.
- Communicate technical issues related to database systems through presentations and reports.
- Develop a research design.
- Create visual representation of data analysis results.
This Level I Workforce Certificate can be completed through a mix of face-to-face, hybrid and online classes. Several of the courses are offered in an 8-week term, rather than a 16-week term. Students working towards this certificate can select a path in database management* or in data analytics**.
