SSRS Training

Reporting Services (SSRS) Training Course

£695 + VAT for most venues (£850 + VAT for London)

2 days

If you're wondering whether you should be learning SQL Server Reporting Services, the answer is yes! SSRS (as it's often called) allows you to create impressive reports, including drill-through, indicators, gauges and lots of other whizzy features. You can then publish these reports directly to your company's website in a number of different formats, or push them out to subscribers by email.

This two-day course runs in SSRS 2016, but if you're using SSRS 2012 you'll still be able to attend, as the report design interface has barely changed (even since SSRS 2008 R2).

Sample customer feedback

"Very comprehensive."

Anne Marlow (Central Bedfordshire College)

"I attended the 2 Day SSRS course in London this week. Just wanted to say a big thank you - the content and pace was excellent. The trainer was very engaging and knowledgeable - happy to help with off topic questions. Would definitely use you guys again."

Alison Atterbury (Collinson Group)

"Very helpful. Content was just right for my level."

Rhys Viney (British Medical Association)

"The trainer was very knowledgeable and confident teaching the course and made it very friendly and relaxed. The course was exactly what I required and I'm now confident I can create my own SSIS project whereas I couldn't before attending the course. I had already attended the SSRS course previously so I was keen to use Wise Owl again and I also recommended it to two other colleagues."

Neil Dibsdall (Cybertill Limited)

"Really good, managed to fit so much in. Online tutorials were great."
