"Great course and customer service from Wise Owl throughout, from pre-course checks to the course itself. I had been given a new laptop from work and it was no trouble for the team at Wise Owl to promptly arrange a self check prior to my course. The course itself was very informative and trainer was patient and answered any questions we had. Thank you."
Emily Knight
Halton Borough Council
"Really enjoyed the course content and 1-1 interaction with trainer met my additional learning needs. The Trainer was patient and enabled me to practice on exercises that l could use in my work. "
Joanne Brown-Barnes

Alex Brian

"Great course and has made us think about how we can improve our own SQL code in our DB."
Guy Wates
VW Heritage Parts Centre
"The trainer was brilliant and adjusted the course to the needs of everyone in the group. We managed to go through many more things than initially assumed. Thank you. Wise Owl was recommended to us by my previous manager and I will definitely consider using Wise Owl for any further development of my team."

"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)
"An amazing teacher! I was particularly impressed with the pacing off the classes, they never felt too fast or slow. It was a matter of layering simple concepts on top of each other until we could understand something quite complicate, which really worked for me. I've been singing Wise Owl's praises ever since!"
Conor Anderson
PEI Group
"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)
"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."
Sema Guler
Financial Times
"Found it easy to follow, liked being able to see trainer's screen and replicate at the same time. Enjoyed doing the exercises as that helped to cement the process."
Ellen Botto
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"It's great to get some extra information that isn't usually in the course (a walkthrough about measures was particularly helpful!)"
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was taught very well with useful information on key topics and some excellent exercises to actually put the skills into practice. The trainer was highly knowledgeable and went at a good speed, to ensure everything was clearly explained. Others in my organisation had attended the course and found it useful and taught well. Many thanks."
Clare Taylor
London Borough of Lambeth
"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This was a really good course, the best course I've taken in a long time and I am already applying what I've learnt."
Vanessa Todman
Department for Education
"I really enjoyed my training and if I asked a question the trainer wasn't sure about, he was great at getting me an answer. The course documentation is great as well, I'm sure I'll be referring to it lots."
Amy Burton
Synectics Solutions Ltd
"Brilliant from start to end. I am missing it already! Oddly, I think the online format works a bit better than in class, apart from the fact we couldn't all go for a beer at the end of it. I liked how our trainer could monitor all of our work at once and offer guidance without needing to name anyone. The whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable and ran smoothly and I would recommend you as a company with pleasure."
Marketa Koskova
Legal Aid Agency
"I was really pleased by the quality of the course. The fact that the class size was small was also a major plus. I had come across Wise Owl courses on YouTube and was impressed by the quality of teaching."
Daniel Litscher

"The trainer was brilliant, his knowledge & delivery was great and made the 2 days very enjoyable."
Dan Sexton
