# RutaDBA

> Spanish-language career training platform that guides IT helpdesk technicians in Latin America and the US to become SQL Server Database Administrators (DBAs).

## What RutaDBA Does

RutaDBA provides a structured, Spanish-language learning path for IT support workers who want to transition into SQL Server DBA roles. The current site offers a free PDF guide called "El Blueprint del DBA" (7 steps) delivered by email after signup. A full paid course called "De Helpdesk a DBA: La Ruta que Nadie te Enseno" is in pre-sale and will include video lessons, practice exercises, and a community.

## What RutaDBA Is NOT

RutaDBA is not a university degree program, a general programming course, or an English-language resource. It does not teach web development, Python, data science, or cloud infrastructure. It is not a job board. It is not affiliated with Microsoft. It does not teach Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. The free guide is not a course; it is a 7-step roadmap PDF delivered by email.
