"Great training, with an amazing trainer. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept the group fully engaged and made sure everyone was comfortable with the content. A great session"
Enmanuel Moreno Gomez
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Great course that was relevant and taught at a good pace."
Dillon Makhecha
PwC
"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."
Jess Dyer
CFC Underwriting
"A great trainer! The course moved at the perfect pace ensuring we were following the content but covering a vast amount within 2 days."
Victoria Wilson
MLCS3 Ltd
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun to work with. Much appreciated. I'll be putting what I've learned into practice right away. Thanks again!"
Jon Orr
Withers LLP
"I really thought the balance of the course, leaving each member of the team to progress at their own pace with additional help where needed, was excellently carried out and overall this was one of the most informative and enjoyable learning experiences I have had. Huge credit to our trainer for engaging us all in the course and going above and beyond to make sure we got both the most complete and most relevant training we could."
Tim Leadbetter
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"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 great trainer who explained everything clearly. It was great to go to a course like this where things are explained, rather than trying to figure out the basics online. Really enjoyed the course and found it really satisfying that I could do it! Colleagues had done the advanced course with Wise Owl and recommended the company."
Hannah Woods
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"The trainer was very knowledgeable and the pace of the course was adjusted to ensure that everyone understood the exercises. A very enjoyable course."
Karen Hammond
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"The course was really engaging and the tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the content at the right pace. The paper workbooks were great as I could make notes for each section. "
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"It was a great course, very informative, and our trainer was great at being flexible to the group's ability and needs. Would highly recommend."
Kirsty Trent
Department for Education
"Amazing courses! Great trainer, pace and content. I literally couldn't have asked for better introductions to SQL and Power BI. Plus I have some many great resources to refer back to in the future :) Thank you!"
Simone Capp
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer was engaging, friendly, professional, helpful and informative."
Terrie Hall
Volumatic Ltd
"Trainer was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject, and able to answer any question I had. The course was delivered at an appropriate speed, ensuring that no one was left behind."
Charlotte Jackson
Sellafield Ltd
"I found the trainer really dynamic, patient and chatty, and he explained all the content very well and made it interesting to work through by providing a database on films that was invigorating to work through."
George Wherry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Trainer was excellent at explaining and teaching, friendly and helpful. Also good flow of material and progression of topics. I also think it was a good idea to check technical set-up before the course."
Michaela Hoffmannova
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Knowledgeable trainer and useful information included in the sessions. "
Hannah Presswell
Bedfordshire Police
"Excellent course well pitched and well led, by a trainer who has an excellent approach. He was very patient and personable."
Martin Miller
Manchester Metropolitan University
"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"
