Founded by Bill Green in 2017, Lifting the Veil Academy has been steadfast in building professional, well trained, & career driven Developers. LTV was actually started on a whim based on a challenge to Bill to give back and share the skills he had acquired. Thinking he was just going to teach a few students, Bill decided to teach a class and bestow his Database Development skillset on to a few students. Before long, he had taught hundreds of students, and the request to take the course just kept coming. Since then LTV has taught and/or helped employ thousands of students.

We primarily offer:

SQL Server Database Development and Business Intelligence
Oracle Financial Applications
Salesforce Administration
Salesforce Solutions Architect
