"Trainer was fantastic at keeping us engaged with the content, and going above and beyond to answer any more detailed questions we could have."
Simon Pagden
Hertfordshire County Council
"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
"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 really helpful course, the content was just right in terms of a mix of more simple and more advanced tasks. I learned loads of new stuff. Our trainer was great and I'd recommend the company again."
Jenny Bowman
University of Lincoln
"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A great trainer. Kept everyone involved: easy to say, harder to do. Learnt a huge amount of tips and tricks. The course was tailored to include everything we needed and came recommended by a colleague."
Nick Penny
Hertfordshire County Council
"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was just right as it was brisk but I could keep up. There were plenty of interesting topics and I was never just sat listening, I was always involved. My manager attended the course a few years ago and recommended it."
Scott Richardson
Newcastle Building Society
"All good, informative, friendly and entertaining. Our trainer provided excellent service."
Marcin Gabryelski
Nexperia UK Ltd
"The trainer was great, answered a number of specific questions and expanded to explain why things worked the way they do, which really helped with my own understanding. The training was well paced with plenty of opportunities to have a go and ask questions."
Ruth Pearson
Maggie's
"Another excellent course delivered by Wise Owl. Thank you. Wise Owl content is always delivered in a manner that enthuses and motivates; making often complicated subjects much easier to decipher and digest. I will be using Wise Owl again."
Christopher Evans
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"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
"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
"Company feedback for WiseOwl has been great. Personally, this is the second time I've been on a course with the company and I couldn't fault it."
Hiten Mistry
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"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)
"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
"Really enjoyable introduction to SQL with a great trainer, who kept us all engaged throughout. The exercises were good reinforcement and had a nice level of challenge to them."
Dave Pringle
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"A fantastic trainer and I'm really pleased I asked for this course - it was exactly what I wanted and I have already used the new knowledge to help with multiple queries that I've been struggling with, since I joined 1.5 years ago! As always, the supporting material is great."
Alex Walker
MPM Products
"It was highly interactive: having to type out and run the code alongside the trainer ensured that I learned how to do it (vs trying to absorb lots of theory from powerpoints!) Our trainer was very personable, and ensured that we stayed engaged throughout - not easy to do over a three day course delivered remotely!"
Myriam Telford
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"A great trainer and very patient. Great explanation of content which made it an enjoyable couple of days."
Adam Lucas
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Foundation Trust
"An excellent trainer. Very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand."
Alex Brian
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
