"This was probably one of the most engaging and satisfying courses that I have been on. I was originally a bit nervous that I might not be able to keep up with the level of expected prerequisites. However, the course was pitched at the correct level for me, I gained a lot from it and we had an excellent trainer. I would be happy, if I had the opportunity, to attend another course by Wise Owl e.g. a Python or Power BI course."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the advanced sql course. I had attended the basic sql course in October and this course was a great continuation on the topics learnt. I picked up lots of new and useful skills that I will be able to transfer over into my daily work, which has drastically improved since the basic course. My trainer was superb also, extremely knowledgeable on every topic covered and his passion really came through. He answered all the questions we asked over the 2 days with great insight and knowledge and was really helpful over the duration of the course. I have really enjoyed both courses and would definitely recommend Wise Owl to anyone who requires training in the future."

"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."

"Sam is an excellent trainer who supported everyone throughout and his passion is (almost) catching!"
Claire Midwinter

"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."

"Really good course. Tutor was very knowledgeable."
Graham Wylie
Gateshead Council
"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."

"A brilliant trainer who was great and really approachable. "
Daniel Atthey
Gateshead Council
"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."

"The course was great. We were a mixed ability group but the trainer provided really clear instructions and was always happy to answer my questions. I learnt loads and it was a really relaxed learning environment. My colleague had attended Wise Owl training in the past and she recommended you."
Anna Bullen
Loughborough University
"A great trainer and very patient. Great explanation of content which made it an enjoyable couple of days."
Adam Lucas
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Foundation Trust
"An excellent trainer, efficient and knowledgeable. If someone dropped from the session he'd get them up to speed quickly and without disrupting the flow of the course. The course was well designed and the exercises helped to cement lessons. I also have the physical course manual and exercises, which will be a great resource for me going forward."
Angus Wood
Liberty Speciality Markets / Global
"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."

"The course was very well run and our trainer was great!"
Euan Wilkins

"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
"The course structure and coaching method were great. Our trainer was a joy to work with, his experience and expertise, as well as people skills were amazing. Could not ask for a better trainer. Will defo be in touch for further training courses and advise etc."
