"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
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"A great trainer and it didn't feel like he was just reading from a script. He explained each step and showed us multiple ways to achieve the desired outcome and which methods should be used in a particular situation. He also pointed out any common problems or things we should look out for that he has experienced in his career. Other staff have already taken the course and have had positive things to say about it."
Ben Ryland
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"The course was really helpful, informative and covered all areas needed (and listed in the course guide). The trainer was easy to approach and to ask for help and a very effective trainer. This recent experience, along with past experience of Wise Owl, confirms that you're a great company. Your website is the first I go to whenever looking at future training."
Rebecca Kirkby
East Coast Community Healthcare CIC
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course, the trainer was very knowledgeable. He broke the course down well and answered all the questions I had. Best training experience I've had, thank you. Required SSRS training and your company was highly rated on Google and on top searches."
Tom Evans
The Placement Group (TPG)
"The training worked perfectly! I had experienced the Power BI training in person but to have an online option that works so well, I can only thank you."
Andy Derbyshire
APSE Manchester
"The course overall was great and I am happy I did it. The trainer was very friendly and taught everything thoroughly and with a lot of patience. The course materials were really helpful and thoroughly covered all aspects of SQL, especially for someone new to it! One thing which was particularly valuable was the step-by-step instructions included within."
Jasdeep Sandhu
CFC Underwriting
"I was very pleased with the course and pace of it, the small group I think helped as whilst we had differing levels of experience we were similarly matched. The trainer was friendly and helpful throughout. The resources sent out prior to the training session were also beneficial and the trainer referred back to it at relevant points, so we knew where to look when not on the course. I had already used the software previously but found I still learnt a lot from this course. I had some knowledge of the content but it had been self taught for the majority and as such I wanted to learn what the software could do, to support the work that I was already doing."
Adrian Hall
Changing Lives
"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"A fantastic trainer who made sure everything was very clear and understood before moving to the next topic. The book you sent out has been genuinely helpful and I have kept it in my laptop bag for work and have already made additional use of it this morning."
Callum MacKay
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"An excellent trainer, full of energy and really keen to see us improve on our existing SQL skills. Kept me engaged throughout the entire training process. Used SQL in the past but wanted to gain more understanding of the different clauses which are used. Came out of the training with a much better understanding of SQL, in that I now know when to use each clause and how to format queries."
Joshua Woolner
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"The trainer was very engaging and explained the course in good detail, easily understood."
Daniel Smith
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Really good learning pace. Everyone kept up to speed, even when helping anyone who was stuck. Very insightful for the potential use of other support software alongside SQL."
Sam Ohren
Liquid Logic (System C)
"This course was pitched just right for our skill levels. Pacing and content were spot on. Our trainer was approachable and fielded all of our daft questions! The venue was located perfectly for the station. Materials provided in support of the course were really good and I'll keep them as reference. I can't think of anything that I would have liked to see changed. We chose this particular course as we were wanting to do a classroom based one (and Manchester was an ideal location) and we have been with Wise Owl before."
Nathan Cain
Home Office
"An excellent presenter and trainer. Well organised course with adequate time to ask questions as well as take breaks from work."
Benjamin Rees
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Great trainer, really knowledgeable helpful and a lovely venue in London. Being able to attend despite being the only one on the course was great too! I think the videos that you provide online are brilliant and help to increase awareness of this training. "
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"The trainer was great, answered a number of specific questions and expanded to explain why things worked the way they do, which really helped with my own understanding. The training was well paced with plenty of opportunities to have a go and ask questions."
Ruth Pearson
Maggie's
"The course was really well paced. The trainer made sure we understood the basics before continuing."
Megan Roberts
Southbank Centre
"Our trainer did a great job, who went above and beyond my expectations. I thought the course was really useful and my knowledge with regards SQL has increased 10 fold."
