"Great trainer, really knowledgeable helpful and a lovely venue in London. Being able to attend despite being the only one on the course was great too! I think the videos that you provide online are brilliant and help to increase awareness of this training. "
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"The course overall was great and I am happy I did it. The trainer was very friendly and taught everything thoroughly and with a lot of patience. The course materials were really helpful and thoroughly covered all aspects of SQL, especially for someone new to it! One thing which was particularly valuable was the step-by-step instructions included within."
Jasdeep Sandhu
CFC Underwriting
"Excellent course, worked well online and felt an excellent interactive experience. Plenty of one on one time and would use again without any doubt. Used WiseOwl before and had the knowledge the course would provide everything needed."
Simon Lyons
The Original Factory Shop
"Lots of insights and useful tips in this course! A great instructor, very clear and to the point!"
Guillaume Riguidel
Live Nation (Music) UK Limited
"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."
PJ Bansel
Dale Underwriting Partners
"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."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"Thoroughly enjoyed the two days that we spent with the instructor! He was incredibly enthusiastic and seemed to thrive from the enthusiasm that we showed. His wealth of knowledge on the subject of VBA, the ease to which he could write it, and finally how he was able to deliver, made for a very impressive display! Would highly recommend."
Nathan Simmonds
ReAssure UK Services Limited
"The instructor made complex content accessible and enjoyable to learn. The manual will also provide further learning and support my SQL use at work. I chose the course based on the strength of the Power BI course (I previously attended) and the standard of this course was just as good."
Sophia Sharpley
Sage Publishing
"I had a great time, thank you so much for a fab course!"
Holly Tyers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The course was brilliant. The trainer clearly knew his stuff and there was obviously a lot of effort that had gone into the resources. I really enjoyed myself."
David Wilson
Liquid Logic (System C)
"A fantastic trainer who made sure everything was very clear and understood before moving to the next topic. The book you sent out has been genuinely helpful and I have kept it in my laptop bag for work and have already made additional use of it this morning."
Callum MacKay
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"A great trainer and very knowledgeable! The confidence in his training was amazing and I knew that my understanding of SQL will be much better under his guidance. I liked how he was able to support anyone that was finding it hard or challenging, he didn't let anyone feel alone."
Raj Bains
PEI Group
"Very happy with the content and the trainer, who was great and was able to answer our specific questions and tailor examples to our roles."
Jaden Bhanabhai
Adidas UK
"A great trainer and it didn't feel like he was just reading from a script. He explained each step and showed us multiple ways to achieve the desired outcome and which methods should be used in a particular situation. He also pointed out any common problems or things we should look out for that he has experienced in his career. Other staff have already taken the course and have had positive things to say about it."
Ben Ryland
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"I thought the course was superb. The content delivery and the accessibility to all was really impressive, having the exercises to work through during the course helped consolidate the knowledge. The content was really easy to follow and if we were ever stuck, were given the confidence to feel like we could ask for help. I have been on multiple different training courses with different providers and I can honestly say the course was delivered by the best trainer I have ever had. The passion he has for teaching and helping others learn was clearly on show and was so refreshing and great to see. Throughout both days he made you feel so welcome and that no question was a stupid question, he was always there to help and guide you through any problems we had and overall he was just amazing, I couldn't have asked for any more and he went above and beyond my expectations for the course and what I would gain from it. "
Cameron Daulby
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"All good from my point of view, very happy with the training provided again. Have used Wise Owl for a number of courses now, always engaging trainers with good content so was happy to use again."
John Ensor
Montanaro Asset Management Ltd
"Our trainer was very engaging and worked the often tricky format of an online classroom, very well. Plenty of interaction with attendees kept things interesting and avoided 'lecturing' type issues I've encountered with other training courses in the past. Course content felt relevant and applicable to my work and I learnt a lot!"
Jake Harrington
University of Lincoln
"A fantastic tutor who made the subject really interesting and talked in depth about each process. I felt I learnt quite a lot during the course."
Daniel Milne
Durham County Council
"Very good, I appreciate the effort and enthusiasm. The trainer is very patient and good at his job."
Bill Kalantzi
