The IDB-BISEW IT Scholarship Project offers training on a number of vendor certifications as a part of its regular training programme. The trainees are trained on the subject matter of the relevant certification track so that they can sit for certification exams and pass those successfully. The scholarship not only covers the cost of training but also meets the cost of each test in the vendor certification track.

Using Structured Query Language (SQL)
