SELECT     dbo.sub_categories.name +' '+ cast( COUNT(dbo.Training_courses.subcategoryID), as varchar(50)) AS Expr1, dbo.Training_courses.subcategoryID
FROM         dbo.sub_categories INNER JOIN
                      dbo.Training_courses ON dbo.sub_categories.subcategoryID = dbo.Training_courses.subcategoryID

Try removing the comma inside the cast

Remove the comma before the "AS VARCHAR(50)"

	dbo.sub_categories.name + ' ' + CAST(COUNT(dbo.Training_courses.subcategoryID) AS VARCHAR(50)) AS
