Marie Kohler

"Wise Owl was recommended by our IT team and we are very happy with the quality of the content and delivery. We have recommended to another team and to other NHS organisations."
Linda Phillips
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Really slick course detailing useful SQL and shortcuts. Brilliant trainer; interested in everyone's progress and helped without embarrassing candidates. Proper nerdy environment, I loved it!! I would recommend Wise Owl to anyone who will listen. Chose the course to fill gaps in my knowledge as I've worked with SQL for over 20 years but never had any formal training."
Catherine Reilly
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Being able to discuss our requirements with a Wise Owl employee was beneficial to check that the selected course was appropriate for our applications. Completing tasks using a remote desktop was very engaging and allowed me to gain a better understanding of the software and uses."
Joshua Byrne
Sellafield Ltd
"The trainer was brilliant and very knowledgeable on the subject. He covered the course material at a good pace and was happy to answer any questions"
James Langrick

Britney Pettifer
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I really enjoyed the course, the support getting ready in advance making sure my computer was compatible, all the way through to the help and support on the course, was excellent, An excellent tutor. My manager suggested the course and she was really impressed by the support, even setting up the computer a few days before"
Andy Stacey
Scania (Great Britian) Ltd
"The course gave a great initial introduction to SQL and how to build useful queries that I can use to interrogate our datasets."
Imogen Soper
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The course contained sufficient content for a good introduction to VBA, was well organised (e.g. with sending out training manuals and organising pre-course checks) and came with high quality training materials. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and created an encouraging environment for delegates to share ideas and ask questions. He also added in lots of "tips and tricks", which meant everyone learnt a lot, even if they had some degree of familiarity with VBA going in. Wise Owl had delivered other online trainings to Sellafield staff, so came recommended by colleagues."
Alex Cunningham
Sellafield Ltd
"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
Stuart Wallace
Dale Underwriting Partners
"The course instructor was very knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic to keep everyone involved. The course was not overwhelming and I came away feeling I've learned quite a bit more about SQL."
John Payne
Liquid Logic (System C)
"Our trainer delivered an excellent course. He was very engaging and patient and always happy to answer our questions. It was generally a very relaxing online learning environment and the pace of the course was perfect. Content was interesting and it really felt we could apply the learnings to our work. Thanks!"
Gerard Nugent
Stroke Association
"I have been struggling with SQL since being given the task and trying to keep up with my colleagues. This was a very informative course, easy to follow and the trainer was very patient and knowledgeable."
Gaynor Garside-Gee
Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust
"A fantastic tutor who made the subject really interesting and talked in depth about each process. I felt I learnt quite a lot during the course."
Daniel Milne
Durham County Council
"I was impressed by our trainer's thoroughness - any questions that he could not answer on the spot, he took away and answered the next day, having found workarounds to even the most obscure of questions we had for him! His pace of teaching and clarity was perfect, taking the stress out of learning new things."
Lisa Anastassiu
The Phoenix Group
"I took the Intro to SQL course and highly recommend it. Everything was organized and thoughtful from pre-course to the actual training. Our trainer was really good, knowledgeable, and friendly. As someone with no background in SQL, I was worried that I might not be able to go with the pace of training but our trainer made sure that everyone was getting along with the topics. Learned a lot and I'm excited to apply it all. Interested to learn more too!"
