Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.
After the course, you will have mastered the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming language and the VBA development environment. You will be able to use the VBA language to implement automated solutions in the Excel programming environment and will therefore be able to automate your day-to-day work by creating class designs, developing object-oriented solutions and processing tasks in Excel more conveniently and efficiently.
You will also be able to build and manage relational databases with SQL, create views and execute complex queries, including using SQL functions. The course is taught on the Microsoft SQL server using the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Computer scientists, IT specialists, programmers, people with knowledge of engineering or business administration, business people and specialists with relevant professional experience.
By creating and developing databases, companies ensure efficient sorting, logical structuring and permanent documentation of important data. As an SQL database specialist or administrator, you will work in almost all industries.
Microsoft Excel is used in almost all companies, but there is often a need to customize it. With knowledge of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), you can extend Excel considerably and thus expand your career opportunities across all industries.
Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.
Didactic concept
Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).
You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.
Virtual classroom alfaview®
Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
