Accelebrate's 4-day Introduction to SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) training teaches attendees how to use SSIS to build high-performance ETL (Extract, Transform, and Load) and workflow packages and projects.
We also offer a 5-day class that adds coverage of administrative topics, such as project deployment, managing packages in an SSIS catalog, securing the SSIS catalog, and more.
Note: This class is appropriate for SQL Server 2012 through 2019.
