"Our trainer was great and made the course really interesting and engaging. We had some technical difficulties but these were all at our end, and everyone at Wise Owl was really helpful and patient in that respect - thank you!"
Michelle Ashworth

"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
"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
"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)
"The online set up worked really well with the trainer being able to see what we were doing. I liked that the size of the class was small. The trainer was excellent at explaining things and kept me engaged. I think it's great we were able to copy the files and I can go away and look at the exercises and practice in my own time. I also loved that we saved so many scripts with the examples, as it will be really helpful to refresh my memory. The course manual is also really useful and will be my new bible. Thank you. Wise Owl were recommended by a colleague."
Helene Wardell
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
"A great trainer, who explained everything very clearly. He made sure all topics were covered and understood by everyone. Really enjoyed this course and will definitely be looking into attending more Wise Owl courses."

"The course is full on but very informative and the course files are great. I have trained with Wise Owl before and found it great."
Shirley Grayson

"Trainer was brilliant! Explained concepts so clearly and the size of the training group was great."
Sophie Alderson
Department for Education
"Our trainer made the course very enjoyable with his enthusiasm and humour. He made sure I felt like I could ask all and any questions I wanted, despite also having to pay extra attention to the other trainee."
Philip Howlett
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"The tutor I had was the most enthusiastic, humorous and intelligent teacher I could have ever asked for. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the course content and as a result I never felt lost or unsure about anything complex. Will highly recommend to anyone else I come across who needs this."
Alex Morris
Cardinal Newman College
"Good balance of fun and keeping to the course topics. Great instructor - not boring at all! Everything ran so smoothly, and I felt comfortable asking questions. Genuinely had fun."
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I took the Intro to SQL course and highly recommend it. Everything was organized and thoughtful from pre-course to the actual training. Our trainer was really good, knowledgeable, and friendly. As someone with no background in SQL, I was worried that I might not be able to go with the pace of training but our trainer made sure that everyone was getting along with the topics. Learned a lot and I'm excited to apply it all. Interested to learn more too!"
John Austria
Financial Times
"An excellent tutor, who gave a vivid understanding of how report builder works. He would make sure each and every one of us understood the topic before moving onto the next one. He structured his sessions in a way that it wasn't stressful, which made sure I had enough time to grasp what was being taught."
Joseph Philip
Torus62 Ltd
"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."
Mitch Chambers

"This has been the best training I have done, an incredible trainer and I was engaged the whole 2 days."

"Great training, with an amazing trainer. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept the group fully engaged and made sure everyone was comfortable with the content. A great session"
Enmanuel Moreno Gomez
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer was very supportive of the group and the course was well laid out. The provision of the materials and exercises as a soft copy helps reinforce the learning process and is essential."
