Matt Hemming

"I was really impressed with the trainer who was knowlegable, articulate and engaging."
Chris Webb
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"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
"Lots of insights and useful tips in this course! A great instructor, very clear and to the point!"
Guillaume Riguidel
Live Nation (Music) UK Limited
"A great trainer and very knowledgeable! The confidence in his training was amazing and I knew that my understanding of SQL will be much better under his guidance. I liked how he was able to support anyone that was finding it hard or challenging, he didn't let anyone feel alone."
Raj Bains
PEI Group
"The course was perfect, really learned a lot for the two days. Trainer was very flexible and knowledgeable about good practice SQL."
Minesh Gokal
PEI Group
"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
"Really great course and really appreciate this being changed last minute to provide me with the content and experience needed for SSRS reporting."
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"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
"A very good and experienced trainer who was very good at explaining SQL concepts clearly and succinctly to allow us to understand the concepts quickly."
Toby Lawrence
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The course tutor was very friendly and welcoming to the course. He worked at a perfect pace for us to follow along with and understand. The course content was just enough to get started and not to overload the learner. I would highly recommend Wise Owl and will use again. This course was chosen as it came highly recommended by a colleague who did the advanced SQL course."
Finley Gray
NWF Agriculture Ltd
"Course content was great, clear and easy to follow. A great instructor who kept the course engaging and moved at a good pace, with some good jokes cracked too."
Aurelia Heyworth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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)
"The course was very well taught & it was the clear that the trainer was very knowledgeable and had lots of experience. Teaching online was great as the instructor could clearly see what we were doing on the Remote Desktop. Plenty of breaks which was good as too much information too quickly would normally cause a headache! Chose fast track SQL to learn as much as possible in a short space of time. Glad to have learnt parts from both intro to SQL and advanced SQL course, definitely made the most of our time."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass Ltd
"A fantastic trainer and I'm really pleased I asked for this course - it was exactly what I wanted and I have already used the new knowledge to help with multiple queries that I've been struggling with, since I joined 1.5 years ago! As always, the supporting material is great."
Alex Walker
MPM Products
"Our trainer was very friendly, approachable and had a very good knowledge of the subject. The pace of the course was spot on, and I also liked the fact it was a small group - only 4 of us. The remote desktop where the trainer could see our screens, and offer advice whilst we were typing away was excellent - a lot better than having to share screens individually whenever we got stuck... and a lot less time consuming! Overall, really enjoyed the course and would have no hesitation in choosing you again in the future."
Mark Lloyd
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"Very enjoyable course, communication and procedure from start to finish was great as well. I had everything I needed well in advance, which is a huge plus; this meant no faffing around on the day-of and we were straight in there."
Bradley Swift
Torus62 Ltd
"Our trainer was very engaging and worked the often tricky format of an online classroom, very well. Plenty of interaction with attendees kept things interesting and avoided 'lecturing' type issues I've encountered with other training courses in the past. Course content felt relevant and applicable to my work and I learnt a lot!"
Jake Harrington
University of Lincoln
"Really good course and the trainer was excellent! I like how time was managed, making sure we spent more time on the more important things and less time on things we may never use."
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"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."
