Reviews

As always, a fantastic experience. This is my 4th class from HOTT this year - T-SQL, SSRS, SSIS/SSAS and DB admin. The instructors were all excellent, knowledgeable, interesting and presented the information concisely.

This course was exactly what I needed to learn SQL. I will definitely refer to HOTT in the future for my instructional needs.
