When it comes to STEM jobs, it’s so many acronyms, so little time. But if you want to land an awesome data job with a competitive salary, there’s just one you need to know: SQL.

SQL (pronounced “see cue el”), which stands for Structured Query Language, is a programming language that’s used to manage and communicate with databases. It’s ridiculously powerful, as it can handle massive databases with ease, and thus it’s become an important tool for businesses that deal with data. (So basically every business ever.) This demand for SQL-trained data experts has grown the profession’s average salary to $85,377, according to a recent Indeed.com analysis. 

If this line of work intrigues you, you’re in luck, because you don’t even have to go back to school to get the lowdown on all things SQL. For a limited time, you’ll find five different SQL training courses on sale in the Mashable Shop at massive discounts. Plus, if you enter the coupon code LEARNIT when you check out, you can save an additional 60% on top of those already-amazing prices. 

Take your pick from any of the following options:

Split up into seven different courses valued at $299 apiece, this bundle could turn you into an expert when it comes to handling Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Pro, a popular data management system. Students who complete its lectures should also be well-prepped to ace the Microsoft 70-461 to 70-467 certification exams. 

A $2,093 value, you can shave 60% off this bundle’s $44 sale price and pay just $17.50 using LEARNIT at checkout. 

Hey, SQL newbies: This nine-part bundle spans more than 60 hours of content that’s designed to take your SQL knowledge from elementary to advanced. Along the way, you’ll also get a little bit of hands-on experience with Microsoft Visual Studio, CSS, HTML, C#, and jQuery — tools that can be used in tandem with SQL to create functional web-based software. 

Valued at $408, you’ll pay just $19.60 for this bundle when you enter LEARNIT at checkout to lower its $49 sale price by an additional 60%.

For a practical, step-by-step tutorial on using MySQL database with PHP, the most popular scripting language for web development, look no further than this 130-lecture class. Upon enrollment, you’ll learn how to build five projects from scratch that cover increasingly complex PHP concepts.

This course is usually on sale in the Mashable Shop for $23, an 88% discount on the original retail price of $200. Use LEARNIT, however, and you’ll save an extra 60% to bring the price down to only $9.20.

This beginner-friendly bundle covers the basics of SQL as well as MySQL, an open source database management system. After completing a course on each subject, you’ll delve into a third and final class on how the popular programming language Python can be integrated with SQL databases.

A $597 value, this bundle will cost you just $11.60 when you enter the code LEARNIT at checkout to lower its $29 sale price by 60%.

Don’t have much time to dedicate to your SQL education? Go for the Complete MySQL Bootcamp, an eight-hour class that covers the basic syntax and queries of this popular database. 

This bootcamp retails for $199.99, although it’s usually on sale in the Mashable Shop for $10.99. But you can save 60% more by entering LEARNIT at checkout, which will lower the final price to only $4.40.
