"Sam is an excellent trainer who supported everyone throughout and his passion is (almost) catching!"
Claire Midwinter
Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service
"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
"I thought using the remote desktop so that the trainer could see what we were doing on the screen was a really efficient way of running training. Time was made for questions and the trainer customised the training based on questions that were asked by the group. I learned so much from the three days. The YouTube videos were so clearly explained and were invaluable, they gave confidence that the course would be of high quality."
Mel Rea
Hertfordshire County Council
"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
Stuart Wallace
Dale Underwriting Partners
"The course was very well run and our trainer was great!"
Euan Wilkins
Department for Education
"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I really enjoyed the course. It was simple to follow along and was at the right pace to understand everything being taught. Many thanks for a great two days!"
Lorna King
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"The course was brilliant from start to finish. The trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I learned a lot that I can put into practice at work and would definitely be interested in doing another course with WiseOwl. I have recommend the course to my colleagues."
Michael Cutts
Barnsley MBC
"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
"Overall a great course, the small number of participants made it more welcoming. The course booklets is probably one of the best if not better course materials I've ever received on a course."
Mick Gonsalves
Cambridgeshire Constabulary
"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."
Adaul Akbar
DHU Healthcare CIC
"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."
Jonathan Bibby
Adidas UK
"The course was really useful and informative. I liked how it was interactive, and you could code/experiment as you went along. I also found the exercises a useful way to continue to solidify what you learnt."
Liz Gabriel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"Excellent, well delivered with great material."
Andrew Curtis
Gateshead Council
"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
"Really enjoyed the course, it had a very good structure and our Trainer was top-class!"
Matt Hemming
Liquid Logic (System C)
"The trainer was fantastic. He was great fun and made us feel confident that we could achieve anything. He was very accommodating and always took the time to explain things clearly."
Darren Higgins
Linney Group Ltd
"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."
