4-Month Course · PHP + MySQL + CRUD + Sessions
PHP & MySQL Development
16 hands-on modules · 12+ tools & concepts · 80+ hours of training · Server-side scripting with a relational database — still core to a huge share of live websites, from CRUD apps to session-based logins.
Who this course is for
Anyone who already knows basic HTML & CSS and wants to build real, database-driven websites using PHP and MySQL — a server-side stack that still powers a huge share of live websites today. This course is fully hands-on — you write and run real PHP & SQL in every class, not just watch slides.
No prior programming experience is required. Module 1 quickly bridges core programming logic into your first PHP script.

312 tools & concepts you'll use
Everything is taught by writing and running real PHP & SQL code — not just reading theory. Swipe or use the arrows to browse every category.
4How each module is taught
Every module in the program follows the same simple, practice-first lens, so you always know what to expect in class.
Watch & Understand
Trainer demonstrates the concept, framework or query step by step, using real application examples.
Practice Live
You write and run the same code on your own computer in class, right after the demonstration, not days later.
Hands-on Exercise
A short coding task using the same concept, close to a real production scenario.
Doubt Clearing
One-on-one help for anyone still stuck, before the class moves to the next module.
Weekly Assessment
A short coding test every week so gaps are caught early, not at the end of the course.
5Projects & practice work
Three hands-on projects across the full syllabus — from your first PHP scripts to a fully database-driven web application.
- Project 1. Database-backed CRUD application with MySQL
- Project 2. Login & registration system with sessions and password hashing
- Project 3. Capstone: secure, fully database-driven website with authentication and full CRUD
6Assessment & certification
Weekly practical tests on PHP syntax, MySQL queries, CRUD logic and session handling, with instructor feedback so nobody falls behind silently.
Final practical exam covering the full syllabus, plus your secure, database-driven capstone application used as demonstrable proof of skill.
PHP & MySQL Development certificate on successful completion, plus resume & interview-readiness support through our 100% Placement Assist program.
7Quick answers
Do I need any prior programming experience before starting?
No. Basic HTML & CSS familiarity helps, but Module 1 starts from PHP basics and quickly bridges core programming logic into your first script — this isn't a course that assumes prior coding experience.
Do I need to know MySQL or SQL beforehand?
No. MySQL and SQL query writing are taught from scratch starting Module 5, including table design, joins, and connecting PHP to a live database.
Is any PHP framework like Laravel covered in this course?
This course focuses on core PHP & MySQL fundamentals — the foundation every framework is built on. Laravel and other frameworks are covered as an advanced next step after this course.
Do I need to buy any software?
No. You just need a free code editor (like VS Code), a local server stack like XAMPP, and a browser — all set up in Module 1. No paid tools are required for this course.
Are classes online, offline, or both?
Classes are conducted at our Alpha-1, Greater Noida campus with lab computers for hands-on coding practice. Theory sessions are also available online for revision. Morning, evening and weekend timings are available — ask your counsellor for the current schedule.
What can I do after completing this course?
You'll be ready for backend/full-stack developer roles working with server-side scripting and relational databases — still core to a huge share of live websites — with a strong foundation to add a frontend framework like React on top.
