- WHO WE ARE
- OUR EDUCATION
- OUR STORY
At DB Tech Training Center, we are committed to training our students and supporting them through their careers. We pair our junior students with a class leader who provided the student’s necessary support at the beginning of the session until graduation.
We provide the highest quality technology training in Microsoft SQL Database Administration. Our classroom is state of the art, and our students get on-site labs and computers to do their hands-on lab that mimics the real-world database problem. Our online classes are similar to on-site classes because the class presentation, preparation, class materials help students to practice ‘hands-on’ on their personal computers. The step-by-step class notes guide students to work on their own. Every class note is included with screenshots; in-details written steps will work as a live tutor. Attendees will see the screen, listen, communicate through audio/video, or chat. Every online attendee will be receiving a complete recording of each class session, which will help to review anytime.
We provide personalized attention one-on-one to all our students. Our certified and currently working in the field of IT instructors can provide in-depth analysis to our students.
Our students will get the best training and knowledge they can put into practice in the real world if or when they can get this career opportunity. It is essential to know that Structured Query Language (SQL) Server Database Administration is a Microsoft SQL Server Database training program.
Upon completion of the program, a “Certificate of Completion” will be provided to all our students. The DB Tech Training Center is consistently implementing and seeking effective new strategies, advanced teaching methods, and materials to accomplish the goals and objectives of this Database Training Program.
Thinking Differently
When communities across our States are adjusting to new ways of learning, working, and living, DB Tech Training Center’s resiliency, and innovation keep its community moving forward.
Multiple times in a year, our students complete the Program and head out starting their careers. Some of them came back to talk to the new students and encourage them to complete the Program. Previous students came back to provide support to the new students by working hands-on lab with them. Provide their perspective on how they land their first job as a DBA.

Microsoft SQL Server
Imagine you are ready to build a new system on the cloud or migrate an existing system to the cloud that can MS Azure or Amazon AWS. How much knowledge do you have to stand up a brand new system from scratch? Thinking, right? Of course, how do you make sure customer data is secure? What about a disaster recovery plan if anything happens accidentally? Are you sure you are using resources in the most efficient manner possible? What about you need to scale out your system within next month! Are you able to do that? Can your architecture handle a spike in traffic if a media report goes viral? What about if the system fails and faces a critical condition? All of these incidents, possibilities may occur, and we are here to educate you with practical knowledge on how to overcome proactively.
The Azure Well-Architected Framework will help you to design, build, and continuously improve a secure, reliable, and efficient application. On the other hand, you can use Amazon cloud computing as well. Microsoft SQL Server works well on both platforms efficiently.
Here is one of the migration diagrams on AWS from the SQL Server standalone platform, we are pleased to share with you:
