"Our trainer was brilliant! Kept the course at the right pace so everyone kept up and I thoroughly enjoyed the training course."
Graham Watters
The Phoenix Group
"An amazing trainer. The online set up and structure of the course worked really well. I learned a lot, thank you!"
Kate Hutchinson
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"It was great that, as an experienced group we were able to get through the content quickly. The trainer saw that as an opportunity to teach us more than was on the original syllabus, so added value for us, the customer. Thanks."
Paul Griffiths
IQUW (was Agora)
"Very good course tailored to our specific requirements."
Mike Hughes
Cheshire East Council
"Really enjoyed the course, trainer was very helpful and approachable - I learned lots of shortcuts/refreshed my memory - really enjoyable (not often you say that about excel!!!)"
Alex Mason
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
"All good, very pleased and would use company again."
David Griffiths
Hounslow & Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust
"A very positive experience all round. The trainer was knowledgeable, engaging and controlled the session well. I also like how the course was structured."
Christopher Macklen
IQUW (was Agora)
"Great course - connecting through a remote desktop, I feel was valuable. To have the trainer able to see if I was going wrong was great. Good reputation among my colleagues."
Charlotte Clare
Bedfordshire Police
"A great trainer who explained everything so well and in detail. He would help if you had questions or were stuck on anything. Course content was also really good and covered a lot of areas."
Lauren Buck
Micro Scooters
"Course was well presented, clear and informative for a new SQL user. Trainer was excellent, really helpful and couldn't do enough for me - thank you!"
Chris Drapier
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Really loved the course and we learnt so much!! Very easy to follow."
Sarah Underwood
CFC Underwriting
"The course was fantastic from start to finish, really well designed, and our trainer gave plenty of helpful 'real world' hints and tips that you just wouldn't get from a textbook. The course administration was fabulous too, communication was timely and materials were posted well in advance. A few of my colleagues have attended the course before me and recommended it."
Helen Mann
NIHR Academy
"I thought that the pace of the course was good. We had an excellent trainer; personable, keeping explanations to the point, and leading 'code along' examples of the topics in a way I found both accessible and instructive. I found the suggested real world implementations of concepts that we covered to be helpful. The fundamentals of SQL were covered in such a way that I was able to understand the topics without being side-tracked by complex alternative ways of doing things. The exercises we completed were appropriate for such a short course, and very much helped to solidify my understanding of the useful Left Join. We covered the advanced course at a pace I found to be pleasantly challenging while remaining interesting. Overall I though that the course has been an invaluable help to using SQL in the workplace, and the online training was practical, enjoyable and expertly paced. The course was recommended by a colleague!"
Jonathan Ferguson
Southbank Centre
"Course was brilliant and training was excellent in the delivery :)"
Zayaan Rashid
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"I really enjoyed this course and found the trainer very knowledgeable and approachable. This is the second time I have done the course - in classroom and online and I enjoyed both of them. I wanted a refresher (on what I had previously learnt) as I don't use excel enough in work to put a lot of the tasks into practice. I still learnt extra/new things and I would recommend this course. "
Claire Harrison
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Excellent course, ideally paced. The way the trainer explains things makes it so easy to understand. I really love how interactive the Wise Owl courses are, you never feel that you're being talked at, you always feel like you are in control and never left behind."
Paul Maxwell
Innogy Business Services UK Ltd
"It was a busy three days, but we knew that before we booked. The trainer was superb, clearly instructing us with no repetition or waffle. The online aspect worked very well indeed, I'm sure the trainers must appreciate being able to see each attendees screen. A good email discussion with Wise Owl helped guide us to choose this course."
Kenton Reader
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"Great trainer and though I use excel everyday, it is amazing how much you can still learn. Appreciative of the course content and the way it was made enjoyable. More so, I am already employing the techniques I have learnt, to improve upon what I thought I was pretty good at..!!"
