"A fantastic trainer and so knowledgeable; he was able to answer every query and even spent time looking further into more complex issues for us. He works at a very good pace, is friendly, welcoming and puts you at ease. The exercises work very well and the approach to these is excellent, with our trainer leaving us to work on them unless we ask for help."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the advanced sql course. I had attended the basic sql course in October and this course was a great continuation on the topics learnt. I picked up lots of new and useful skills that I will be able to transfer over into my daily work, which has drastically improved since the basic course. My trainer was superb also, extremely knowledgeable on every topic covered and his passion really came through. He answered all the questions we asked over the 2 days with great insight and knowledge and was really helpful over the duration of the course. I have really enjoyed both courses and would definitely recommend Wise Owl to anyone who requires training in the future."

"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!"

"I was really impressed with the trainer who was knowlegable, articulate and engaging."

"The trainer was great. He explained the basics really clearly and was super helpful if we ever got stuck on something, and went at a good pace so that we could keep up without getting bored. The examples were both fun and relevant to the kinds of things we might want to do at work (like feeding information through from a pop-up box, error checking etc.). The course manual is also really impressive. I would definitely recommend this course."
Jenny Roberts
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
"Our trainer was engaging and he didn’t assume any knowledge, which was helpful because we were able to learn the correct way of doing things from the beginning. I liked how flexible with time the course was, to give us regular breaks to make sure we stayed alert and enough time to do exercises and ask questions. I also liked the set up of the course with the movies/music databases because it was easy to understand but still relatable to what I would need to do in my day-to-day role."

"I found the course very useful and the trainer was brilliant. The trainer was really friendly and made me feel at ease allowing me to feel more comfortable asking questions when I was stuck. The trainer was also incredibly patient when I did ask questions/get stuck and went at an appropriate speed for the course attendees. I had very little experience with SQL, but I feel much more confident to get started now, having been on this course."

"An excellent trainer, efficient and knowledgeable. If someone dropped from the session he'd get them up to speed quickly and without disrupting the flow of the course. The course was well designed and the exercises helped to cement lessons. I also have the physical course manual and exercises, which will be a great resource for me going forward."

"A really engaging trainer who made the course enjoyable. The content was clear to follow, and we were provided with ample resources to aid us with our training and to take away to use in our own time. This course was recommended and used by my company in the past."
Madeleine Lewis

"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. "

"Perfect! The pace was fast, content delivered well and I got everything from the course I was hoping for. As we already have software development experience, it meant we could canter through the content and focus on the applicable differences. Well worth having a 'private' course for us three attendees, as this allowed us to prioritise the content in the time available and gave the opportunity to discuss aspects of our current software project in the context of the course with the trainer. We feel we can 'hit the ground running' now."

"Thank you so much for having me on the course. I really enjoyed it and I am sure that it will be of real benefit to my work. The trainer was great, he explained the course with patience and clarity. I cannot wait to come back for more learning with the team at Wise Owl!"
Sharlene Nair

"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!"

"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."
