TRAINING: SA Academy Takes Pride in Information Technology Training

 





Recent Gauteng Business News

The SARS Academy has appointed IT (Information Technology) training company GetCertified, in collaboration with Compuways, to present three levels of SQL training to learners from its Strategy Enablement and Enforcement (SEE) division. A total of 95 learners received certificates, with 74% of the students passing by 75% and above, and this was across all three categories of courses.

The Academy conducted three levels of SQL training, namely Database Design, Basic SQL as well as Advanced SQL from October 2011 to April 2012. SQL is one of the many courses that the School of Modernisation and Technology in the SARS Academy has to offer and it was introduced to provide a learning opportunity to identified SARS staff members.

Nkidi D. Mohoboko, Senior Manager: Learning and Development at SARS Academy says they are extremely proud of their learners who showed a keen willingness to learn. “I have personally spoken to some managers to determine their level of satisfaction, and they assured me that even though it is early days, they can already see a marked improvement in the performance of the learners who attended the information training.”

The Importance of Storing Information

GetCertified managing director Arnold Graaff is proud to be selected as a training provider for SARS. He said that most public service companies admire SARS for its efficiency, profitability and good governance. The SQL training that was presented was to get the delegates in SARS skilled in the most important expertise in the IT industry today, information design and retrieval skills.

“Information is very important as it enables us to make decisions, regardless of lifestyle. In your car, in your house, in your daily life a huge amount of information is processed to make decisions, sometimes life-changing decisions,” he explained.

“The amount of information required and processed by large organisations like SARS is massive and therefore needs to be stored in large databases. When we retrieve information, we realise how important the storage of it is. The way we store the information must help us to retrieve it, therefore when teaching people information retrieval with SQL, we also need to teach them how to store it effectively.”

Learn About Information Retrieval

GetCertified believes in gaining skills by learning the tools, then learning the practical skills on how to use the tools in real situations. By doing so, it enables students to reach international certification level with confidence.

In order to accomplish international exam level of SQL, GetCertified has designed a three tier approach and it tests students at each level, the first being Database Design and the second being Beginning SQL. These courses complement each other and demonstrate that it is equally important to know how to design a database solution as well as how to efficiently retrieve information from it. The third, the Advanced SQL course, brings students up to the international Microsoft Exam level. Once passing this course, students can prepare and write the international exam with confidence.
