SSRS Training

Advanced SSRS (2 days)

£725 + VAT for most venues (£850 + VAT for London)

If you can already create reports using either Report Builder or Reporting Services, we'd like to show you what else SSRS can do! This two-day course will show you how to create code using custom assemblies and link to them from your reports; how to use parameters with stored procedures; how to use bookmarks, document maps and the like; and various other ways in which you can customise reports.

We don't have any dates scheduled for this course, but we may well consider adding them - it's always worth asking (or consider an onsite SSRS training course).

Sample customer feedback

"Very clear and interesting training. Very enjoyable! Didn't want London and fewer candidate numbers appealed!"

Sue McGrath (SuperBreak)

"Hope all is well and you had a great weekend. I attended your SQL Report Writing class last week. Wanted to say thank you for teaching it in such a great, straight forward way. I have already written my first report (see attached) – geek fest! ? Thanks again, you are a fantastic trainer. Engaging, personable, and very knowledgeable. Awesome! "

Megan Walker (Bond International Software (UK) Ltd)

"l thought the course was fantastic and really helpful and the training materials were of a really high standard. It is not often when going on a training course that you can work through the training and manual afterwards which is a credit to Wise Owl Training. I also wanted to thank your excellent trainer; his style of teaching was very good. He has a lot of patience with less experienced people like myself and was always willing to help us when we got stuck. I would definitely like to attend some other courses."

John Groves (Kinase Consulting Limited)

"Very good, friendly, informative and flexible."

Will Dias (Gateway 6th Form College)

"The course content made me chose this course. I am very satisfied and happy and feel I made the right choice."

Sumita Mukherjee (Vanquis Bank Ltd)

There are lots more where these came from (or just refresh this page to change the quotes shown).

The ideal preparation for this course is to attend our two-day Reporting Services course. We will accept other delegates, but you must have a good understanding of how to create reports in SSRS. Delegates must also know some SQL. You will get more out of this course if you have done some Visual Basic, VBA or C# programming before, although this isn't essential.

This course is taught using SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2008 R2 (there are virtually no differences between the versions).
