"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Trainer did a good job of focussing on those elements of the course which were likely to be most relevant to us. It was much better than previous SQL courses I have attended as they tended to focus too much on the theory needed to pass Microsoft certification, which is not relevant to me. I just need to know how to carry out various tasks in SQL and that is what Wise Owl provided. "
David Nolan
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"I found the course very useful and the trainer was brilliant. The trainer was really friendly and made me feel at ease allowing me to feel more comfortable asking questions when I was stuck. The trainer was also incredibly patient when I did ask questions/get stuck and went at an appropriate speed for the course attendees. I had very little experience with SQL, but I feel much more confident to get started now, having been on this course."
Jade Berry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I had a great time, thank you so much for a fab course!"
Holly Tyers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"It was a great introductory course at a good pace. I had no prior SQL knowledge and found it really useful. It's good that we could copy over the exercises at the end of the course to enable us to practice in our own time. Our trainer was very friendly and approachable"
Cheryl Walker
APSE Manchester
"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Really good session! Learnt a lot and our trainer was really helpful and really clear on explanations."
Ushni Devraj
PEI Group
"Trainer was very enthusiastic, which made a big difference to staying engaged with following along and completing exercises."
Rosie Heape
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"The class size was ideal. The trainer provided a thoughtful and entertaining experience, and was clearly well prepared. Remotely signing in was seamless. I needed proper training on SQL, having had to self-teach for several months."
Alexander Mason
Capel Manor College
"A really helpful course, the content was just right in terms of a mix of more simple and more advanced tasks. I learned loads of new stuff. Our trainer was great and I'd recommend the company again."
Jenny Bowman
University of Lincoln
"Our trainer was brilliant, explained everything in great detail and made me feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how silly they might be! Overall it's a brilliant course and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get to grips with SQL basics. Both of my colleagues had attended this course previously and it came highly recommended by them."
Dean Steffen
Linney Group Ltd
"An excellent teacher and trainer. The course content was specifically tailored to suit our needs and he did a wonderful job teaching us it and further enlightening us on a number of topics. I can't recommend him highly enough."
Thomas Crozier
Home Office
"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"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
"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"The course content was excellent and easy to follow, led by a very personable trainer who knew his stuff!"
Hayden Bryon
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"I really enjoyed the course. The notes that were provided are helpful as well. I use it as my guide while working. The course definitely strengthened the foundations of my knowledge with Tabular. It was able to simplify tabular concepts that I did not understand previously. I attended the Power BI Course last year and learned a lot from that training."
Gabriel Averia
Frontline Ltd
"It was highly interactive: having to type out and run the code alongside the trainer ensured that I learned how to do it (vs trying to absorb lots of theory from powerpoints!) Our trainer was very personable, and ensured that we stayed engaged throughout - not easy to do over a three day course delivered remotely!"
Myriam Telford
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"I thought our trainer was great. I should be able to apply the vast majority of learning to my job, which is great. I also like the videos on your website and hope to be a frequent visitor to the site (also as a refresher!). Overall, I'm more than happy with the course, relevance to my work and my interest in developing SQL skills."
Maciej Dobras
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"This was a great follow on course to the beginner level. The course was well paced and the trainer fielded questions directly related to our work. Facilities at the venue were excellent as well. The course handbooks with exercises are well produced and will provide a good reference for later use. I'd highly recommend this course/company. Your YouTube channel prompted us to originally choose your course and the fact that there was a regional venue for the class."
