MCTS - SQL Server 2005 Training: 2KO International offers specialised SQL Server 2005 training for Microsoft Technology Specialist certifications. Our SQL Server 2005 course is held in Cape Town South Africa, where we train delegates from all over the world. Microsoft Certified Technology Specialists in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (MCTS: SQL Server 2005) implement and maintain databases using specific instructions and specifications. They have thorough knowledge of the product, understand how to use the tools and Transact-SQL language, and know how to explore the user interface. Technology Specialists typically pursue careers as database administrators, database developers, or business intelligence developers. They may also be developers and systems administrators who do not work with SQL Server daily but who want to show their breadth of technology experience.

Instructor Led SQL Server 2005 Training

In order to gain the MCTS certification in SQL Server 2005, you will need to pass the exam 70–431: TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 - Implementation and Maintenance. 2KO offers the SQL Server training in two parts:
