"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."

Natalie Yau

Imogen Soper

"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
"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
"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This was a great follow on course to the beginner level. The course was well paced and the trainer fielded questions directly related to our work. Facilities at the venue were excellent as well. The course handbooks with exercises are well produced and will provide a good reference for later use. I'd highly recommend this course/company. Your YouTube channel prompted us to originally choose your course and the fact that there was a regional venue for the class."
Nathan Cain
Home Office
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course. A great teacher who didn't overcomplicate anything which I was a bit surprised by, as when you think of anything related to coding you'd assume it requires a lot of brain power which can be a bit overwhelming, but that wasn't the case at all. Would love to come back for another course. Thanks!"
Syed Hasnain
Sucden Financial Limited
"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 well presented and understandable. I learnt some new things and came away feeling more confident in the SQL skills I already had. I've no doubt the manual will prove very useful in the future."
