Database operations are an important part of computer operations in almost every company and organization today. Electronic commerce depends upon the storage and processing of transactions in databases. Many e-commerce sites have databases attached to web pages.

The Database Development Specialist Technical Certificate gives students experience in popular databases including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. Florida State College at Jacksonville is an Oracle Academic Initiative (OAI) Partner with Oracle Corporation. Together we have developed a program that puts you on the fast track for a database career.

This technical certificate prepares students for job entry in fields such as database applications development and database administration. Students learn skills necessary for design, development, maintenance, management, and administration of comprehensive relational databases for corporations and organizations. Graduates may seek positions as database developers, database programmers, database administrators, and database consultants. The Oracle courses in the database certificate also provide a foundation for persons preparing for the Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) exams.
