Progress your career in database design with this advanced-level qualification. Develop the specialised skills and knowledge required to plan and create information and communications technology (ICT) database systems for a wide range of businesses. According to the Australian Government’s Job Outlook service, there is moderate future job growth predicted for people working as database administrators. Employers are looking for qualified candidates who have strong computer literacy, can communicate clearly, and work well in a team.

Our connected world relies on hidden infrastructure to consistently store, process and present information we use online. A new class of employment is emerging, beyond that of database administrator, who will manage Cloud infrastructure applications like big data, machine learning, and web services. This course takes you through the design, development and hosting stages in a number of project-based challenges. Employers can expect graduating students can navigate the complexities of deploying secure, reliable and scalable persistence for a world of internet of things (IoT), mobile and browser-based applications.

In this course you will gain key skills in database development including how to analyse project requirements to produce component specialisations, build using rapid application development (RAD) tools, and use structured query language (SQL) to define, create, and manipulate database structures. You will also discover how to model data objects, data processes, and preferred system solutions.

Successful completion of this course will qualify you to work as a systems analyst or assistant database designer or developer across a variety of business contexts.
