Christian L’Heureux
Analytics Manager
“Dataquest teaches me everything I need to know without the $50,000 degree. It’s self-paced, and I love learning by doing. It took away the guesswork of trying to learn by myself.”

Caitlin Whitlock
Research Scientist
“I like the way Dataquest is set up. On other platforms, I was wasting a lot of time searching for the specific information, but because of Dataquest’s paths, it was easy for me to learn what I needed in a logical sequence. Dataquest is pre-curated and super awesome.”

Christian L’Heureux
Analytics Manager
“Dataquest was an enormously helpful tool for me to develop my data analyst skills, and I credit it with getting me the job I have today. After trying DataCamp and Codecademy, I found Dataquest. I like the way Dataquest is structured, how each course is broken down. The project focus is a great way to make everything sink in.”

FAQs about SQL
How to I teach myself SQL?
If you use Dataquest, teaching yourself how to learn SQL is very simple. There are 3 simple steps:
- Step 1: Select your learning path. Explore the different data roles, and determine which one is right for you. Pick a path, and complete your first course for free.

- Step 3: Showcase your skills. Use the projects you’ll build on Dataquest to impress recruiters and grow your career.
Can I learn SQL 3 months?
Absolutely! If you want to learn SQL on its own, it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to get the hang of it. However, SQL is usually paired with other languages. For example, in data science, students will also usually learn Python or R.
Is it hard to learn SQL?
Learning SQL can be hard if you don’t have the right support or learning resources. To make it easy, there are three things that you must have:
- A platform that guides you on what to learn and when
- Fun SQL projects that keep you highly motivated and help you apply what you learn using real code
- A vibrant community to help you when you get stuck
Thankfully, Dataquest has all of these things!
Is SQL enough to get a job?
This depends on the role you’re pursuing. For example, knowing only SQL may be enough for a job as a database administrator. However, if you want to become a data scientist or data analyst, then you’ll also need to learn another programming language like Python or R.
