"Our trainer was excellent! He presented enthusiastically, encouraged engagement and answered questions constructively. He tested positive for Covid half way through the online course but pushed through despite this just as enthusiastically as before, when he could have very reasonably found an alternative teacher to take over."

"Having attended Wise Owl courses before, I knew this would be the best way to learn more about SQL in a structured setting. I enjoyed the course and the content covered many useful SQL features. The trainer was friendly and welcoming and his delivery was excellent. He is clearly very knowledgeable about SQL and was able to answer all of our questions with ease. He gave us plenty of time to do the exercises with his help, which was particularly good as I sometimes find I forget things if I don't take the time to do them myself, once I've learnt them. Although a basic level of knowledge of SQL is naturally assumed going into an advanced course, I was never put on the spot or had to recall things that weren't in the course. I quite liked that approach."

"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."

"I absolutely loved the course and attending it has given me a lot of food for thought in how I can implement the use within my team. The trainer was superb and communicated clearly the 'how' and 'why' you'd do things in a certain way, looking out for common errors along the way. I needed to know about how to import data into SQL, which wasn't part of the course content, but the trainer was very accommodating by staying behind with me for 10 minutes to show me how I'd do this, which was very much appreciated. I am inexperienced when it comes to using databases and writing script/code, however I had heard about the benefits of using SQL as a tool and wanted to upskill. Thank you for the course - I hope to come on another sometime soon!"

"This was more of a refresher course for me after not having used Excel in a decade and yet I honestly learned a lot. Great course and delivery as always :)"

"Huge thanks to our trainer, he was fab. Very knowledgeable and made the content much easier to absorb. Found the sessions really engaging and came away with a good understanding of the subject and how I should progress next. Have attended excellent courses with Wise Owl previously."

"I enjoyed the course and picked up loads of really useful tips. I am already beginning to use Power BI to produce new visualisations for data that I am currently analysing."

"It's great to get some extra information that isn't usually in the course (a walkthrough about measures was particularly helpful!)"

"The course was really engaging and the tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the content at the right pace. The paper workbooks were great as I could make notes for each section. "

"The trainer, was brilliant, really informative. Useful learning the processes and she had a great way of conveying the learning. I was a last minute addition to the course. I wasn't aware of Wise Owl but I will be researching and looking out for future courses."

"I've been on two Wise Owl courses so far and both times I started as a complete beginner and left feeling fairly confident to use the software package, I've been trained on. Our trainer was fantastic. I really appreciated his enthusiasm throughout and his patience when helping me resolve mistakes."
Libin Osman

"The trainer was excellent - he took the time to "get to know the students", was warm and welcoming - was very patient when people were struggling with difficult concepts - it was a truly enjoyable experience (never thought i would say that about excel - lol!!!)"
Alex Mason

"The course was really useful and informative. I liked how it was interactive, and you could code/experiment as you went along. I also found the exercises a useful way to continue to solidify what you learnt."
