Live Online Data Modeling and Database Design Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Oct 19, 2026 · from USD 1,700
A weak schema causes duplicated data, broken reports and slow applications that no amount of hardware can fix later. Over ten days you move from database fundamentals and the relational model to conceptual, logical and physical design. Entity modelling sessions cover entities, attributes, relationships, cardinality and entity-relationship diagrams, along with crow's foot notation and UML class diagrams. Analysis techniques include gathering requirements, reading business rules and functional dependencies, and normalizing through first, second and third normal form and beyond.
Design strategy sessions cover primary and foreign keys, surrogate versus natural keys, constraints, data types and when to denormalize deliberately. You then compare methodologies such as star and snowflake schemas, Data Vault and document-oriented models, before closing with indexing, partitioning and query performance tuning. Each stage is practised by modelling a realistic business scenario in a design tool and implementing it in SQL. Database developers, systems analysts, software engineers, BI developers and DBAs are the intended participants. Afterwards you can turn business requirements into a clean, documented model that protects data integrity and performs well as volumes grow.

About this course
The Data Modeling and Database Design Training Course is designed for professionals who need practical, current command of data modeling and database design and the ability to translate it into measurable organizational results. Because organizations now operate under tighter resource, compliance and reporting pressures, specialist capability in this area has moved from desirable to essential. This certified programme combines proven methodology with hands-on application, covering entity and data modeling, data types and standards and the analytical techniques that underpin sound professional judgement.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how data modeling and database design is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for entity and data modeling, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
Training Objectives
Upon completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Design efficient database architectures using modern data modeling principles
- Analyze business requirements for conceptual and logical data structures
- Implement relational and dimensional database models effectively
- Evaluate normalization and denormalization strategies for performance optimization
- Apply database integrity, security, and governance frameworks
- Develop scalable database systems for enterprise environments
