FAQ
Do I need any prior knowledge to take the NoSQL fundamentals course?
The course is designed for beginners, so no prior experience in databases or programming is required.
It will be useful to have a basic understanding of what data is and how to work with it, but all key concepts (formats, NoSQL types, working with Power BI) are explained from scratch.
The desire to learn, basic computer skills, and the ability to install simple programs are enough.
Which databases are covered in the NoSQL fundamentals course (MongoDB, Redis, etc.)?
In the course, you will get acquainted with several popular NoSQL databases, in particular:
- MongoDB – a document-oriented database for storing semi-structured data in JSON format.
- Redis is a high-speed caching database with support for queues and temporary storage.
- Cassandra is a distributed database for large amounts of data and flexible document storage.
- ElasticSearch is a search engine that allows you to store, index, and analyze large amounts of data in real time.
- GraphDB (MS SQL Server) is a graphical data model for building complex relationships.
Each of them is considered from a practical perspective – from basic functions to examples of real-world use.
Will I receive a certificate after completing the NoSQL fundamentals course?
Yes. Upon completing the course, all students receive an official certificate from Sigma Software University. We recommend adding the certificate to your resume, portfolio, and LinkedIn profile — it highlights your expertise, builds trust with potential employers, and supports your professional growth.
How long does it take to complete the NoSQL fundamentals course and will I have access to the materials afterward?
The course consists of 8 lectures, each lasting 1.5 to 2 hours, and several practical tasks that take 2 to 4 hours (depending on the complexity).
We recommend dedicating around 4–6 hours per week to studying to feel comfortable learning the material and completing homework.
Participants have access to the training materials for 6 months after the end of the course.
