A couple of staff in our company usually just need to query databases on our SQL servers.
But since they are beginners, and they want to learn SQl and don't want to mess up the server.
I know developer edition needs license, can they download SQL express to learn that?
I never install sql express before, does it also have management studio comes with it?
Thanks

Yes you can download Express and there is a Graphical Interface which you can download.

Personally I prefer the functionality of the Developer Edition. It only cost $49 for a Developer License.

You will not be able to schedule SQL Server agent jobs in Express edition as SQL Server agent is not supported.... Just incase you have plans to schedule jobs later...
