Live Online Applied Data Engineering, Databases & ERP Data Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Analytics, dashboards and automation are only as good as the data pipelines beneath them, and most organisations keep their most valuable records in ERP systems that are difficult to extract, clean and join. Over ten days, participants learn to design, load, move and query data reliably. The first week covers relational modelling, normalisation, entity relationship diagrams, SQL from basic queries to joins, window functions and stored procedures, indexing, transactions and performance tuning. Participants then explore how ERP platforms such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Odoo organise finance, procurement, inventory, sales and HR data.
The second week moves into engineering practice: extract, transform and load design, Python and SQL scripting, workflow orchestration, data validation, change data capture, dimensional modelling, star schemas, warehouse loading, ERP data migration and cutover, master data cleansing, API integration and reporting layers. Database administrators, developers, ERP analysts, business intelligence staff, systems auditors and finance or supply chain data owners will gain the most. Labs run on practice databases supplied during the sessions. Classroom delivery is available in 18 cities, plus online and in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. You can build a working pipeline from an ERP source to a reporting model.

About this course
Enterprise systems generate vast volumes of transactions, but the information inside them is often locked in complicated schemas, duplicated across modules and inconsistent between departments. Meanwhile, businesses want timely reports, analytics and integration with new cloud tools. Professionals who can bridge databases, ERP structures and modern data engineering practice are therefore in steady demand across banks, manufacturers, public bodies and NGOs.
This ten-day programme gives participants a complete, practical route from database fundamentals to production-style pipelines. It begins with relational theory and SQL, since reliable engineering depends on fluent querying and sound design. The course then turns to ERP data: how core tables are organised, how master and transactional data differ, why migrations fail and how to plan extraction, mapping, cleansing and reconciliation. Data engineering practice follows, with ETL and ELT patterns, scripting, scheduling, logging, error handling, quality checks and documentation.
The closing sessions focus on analytical delivery. Participants design dimensional models and warehouses, load them from ERP extracts, expose results through reports, and consider security, backup, governance and monitoring. Each day is organised around lab exercises on supplied datasets, and the programme ends with an integrated project in which each team delivers a small end-to-end data platform.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Design normalised relational schemas and document them with entity relationship diagrams.
- Write SQL queries using joins, subqueries, aggregation, window functions and views.
- Tune queries with indexes, execution plans and sound transaction handling.
- Describe how ERP modules store finance, procurement, inventory, sales and HR data.
- Plan and execute an ERP data extraction, mapping, cleansing and reconciliation exercise.
- Build ETL or ELT pipelines using SQL and Python with logging and error handling.
- Create dimensional models and star schemas and load them into a data warehouse.
- Apply data quality checks, security controls and API integration to data platforms.
