Reviews summary

Ssis introduction and practical demos

According to learners, this course provides a solid introduction to SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) with a strong emphasis on practical application. Students particularly praised the hands-on demonstrations and the coverage of various SSIS transformations and tasks, finding them useful for understanding core concepts and applying them. The course is seen as a good starting point for those looking to get into SSIS, especially when aiming for SQL Server Administration roles. However, some learners noted that the course uses SQL Server 2016, which is an older version, and felt the pace could be fast at times, potentially assuming a higher level of prerequisite knowledge than some students possessed. Despite this, many found the course content relevant for job skills and appreciated the breadth of topics covered in the syllabus.
Helps build skills sought in job market.
"I took this course to gain skills for a SQL Server Admin job, and the content seems highly relevant to recruiter expectations."
"Provides a good foundation for anyone looking to work with SSIS professionally."
"The skills taught here are definitely applicable to real-world data integration tasks in administration roles."
Good breadth covering many essential SSIS tasks.
"This course covered a wide range of SSIS tasks from data conversion to FTP, which was exactly what I needed to get started."
"Learned about control flow, data flow, and various transformations. It provides a good overview of SSIS capabilities."
"The syllabus covers the key SSIS concepts and transformations needed for basic data migration tasks."
Hands-on demos help solidify understanding.
"The hands-on coding and projects are the strongest part of the course for me, really helped solidify my understanding..."
"I found the practical examples and demonstrations to be very helpful in seeing how SSIS works in action."
"The demos were clear and walked through setting up many different transformation tasks effectively."
Pace is fast; prerequisite knowledge varies.
"While the course states prerequisites, I felt the pace was quite fast and assumed more prior SSIS exposure than just SQL Admin."
"It moves quickly through topics. If you don't have a very strong SQL background, you might struggle."
"Could use slower explanations on some complex transformations for beginners to SSIS."
Uses an older version of SQL Server/SSDT.
"My main issue is that the course uses SQL 2016. Many workplaces are on newer versions, and the interface has changed a bit."
"Wish the course would be updated to reflect a more current version of SQL Server Data Tools."
"Using SSIS 2016 felt a bit dated, but the core concepts are still valid."
