The Meta Database Engineer Certificate promises to take users from "zero experience and knowledge" to being able to "qualify for in demand job titles: Database engineer, Data Engineer, Junior Data Engineer."

This is a pretty high claim for such a technical career. The purpose of this video is two fold. I'll 1. evaluate that claim that you can go from beginner, to job ready at the end of this course, and 2. show you clips from inside the course to let you know exactly the type of material you can expect to learn if you decide to sign up.

The certificate walks through 9 courses, all including quizzes, lectures, projects, and video examples. Please feel free to skip to the below timestamps to view the exact section you're looking for. Courses covered inside the certificate are:

Course 1 - Introduction to Databases
Course 2 - Version Control
Course 3 - Database Structures and Management with MySQL
Course 4 - Advanced MySQL Topics
Course 5 - Programming in Python
Course 6 - Database Clients
Course 7 - Advanced Data Modeling
Course 8 - Database Engineer Capstone
Course 9 - Coding Interview Preparation

Coursera currently charges $49 per month to take Meta courses. You can take this course at a self-learning pace, with an estimated time of completion of 6 months. (I think this can realistically be done in 3-5 months). If you have any questions, let me know down below in the comments!
