Idk about certs but it should take 1 month to learn the basics of Python and SQL. You'll still be a noob until you use it daily for at least 1-2 years.

>>54471863
took me a week to "learn" SQL but I feel like I know nothing yet. As >>54471888 said, you need to use it a for hundreds of hours to reach any level of competency

Now is not the time. You'd be better off learning carpentry or welding

Because you know nothing yet, i use SQL since 2 years in my job and know it since like 10 years going back to school, but still dont know all of its functionality

Basically I wanna learn the basics to the point I use it everyday

>>54471896
Yeah, I wanna start learning the basic usage first and then the more complex parts

You just learn it, it takes like a weekend.
There aren't any certifications, or at least there aren't any that anyone cares about.

Learning basics shouldn't take too long. But there's a lot more than just learning syntax. The most efficient way to learn would be on the job because you'll have mentorship reviewing your work and you would actually be solving "real world" problems. The second best way would be working on side projects.

Yeah, I'm doing the certifications part because I already have a bachelor's and my current employer says it's better to just get certifications vs getting a master's degree for a category analyst job. Also I think employers except you to know it before getting hired

We all know that you are full of shit OP and this is all larp posting.

People only go to college to learn to become scammers and role play an IT profession while indians and chinese do all the technical work.

My first job interview ever was for an IT consulting firm. I thought to myself during the interview; what is this nigger shit, who the fuck is this guy; where are all the neckbeards and pimplefaced geeks?

Then I realized it was all just a huge scam that outsources jobs to pajeet rasheed and wong chung. This is the majority of what the Western IT industry has become.

If you are serious about working in the field of IT, just start your own business.

You will be dealing with countless frauds and master mind manipulators, hack jobs and outright deceitful cunts who learned more about social engineering than mathematics within their college experience.

So if you're doing this to get certs and skirt college it's really time efficient, especially if it's an alternative to a masters.
From my experience with IT certs. generally learning the basics is easily done online. The real deal with some of these certs is they have specific questions/exercises and problems that you should be able to handle within whatever time-frame they allocate for their standardised exams.
The most recent one I took wasn't coding related, so mostly theory. I already had some experience so it took me 2-3 weeks to be ready to take my test. Felt more like a english/wording exam.
For your case however, I suggest grabbing a few mock exams for whatever certs you're chasing and doing a few of those occasionally to assess your level along the way, fren.
