I Need SQL training - any ideas

[jumpinjamez]

I need some SQL training as i need to use it pretty soon.

Funding is available to me but i do not fancy the Microsoft MOC courses as they are poor value i could just buy the book but prefer tutor led training.

any ideas?

Try Neos IT training in Worcester if it's not too far from you.
http://www.neos-it-training.com/crs_sqlserver.php - ring them for a quote - the cost is usually around half of that shown on the web site for educational establishments.

I know this isn't instead of the training but could be useful

Free, you can download a preconfigured Windows Server 2003 running SQL 2005 Server to have a look at.

You'll beed Virtual Server or Virtual PC, both of which are also free from the Microsoft website.
