"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."
Liz Gabriel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Really enjoyed the course, it had a very good structure and our Trainer was top-class!"
Matt Hemming
Liquid Logic (System C)
"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
"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."
Sema Guler
Financial Times
"Great content in the course. We were given the opportunity to perform exercises which personally I think is the best way to learn. Our trainer was always on hand to answer any questions and made the course interesting and knew when it was time to break! Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, thanks."
Avril Ball
Adidas UK
"The course was really well paced. The trainer made sure we understood the basics before continuing."
Megan Roberts
Southbank Centre
"Course was great and very engaging. Thought the trainer pitched it perfectly and made it a very enjoyable two days. Would highly recommended to others."
Patrick Camm
Dale Underwriting Partners
"I enjoyed the course. The laptop set up was especially helpful as we could use practical examples and see the results for ourselves. I could see that we were all gaining confidence."
Natalie Yau
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"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."
Jo Lockett
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"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."
Angus Wood
Liberty Speciality Markets / Global
"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."
Cameron Daulby
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Really good course and the trainer was excellent! I like how time was managed, making sure we spent more time on the more important things and less time on things we may never use."
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"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
"The class size was ideal. The trainer provided a thoughtful and entertaining experience, and was clearly well prepared. Remotely signing in was seamless. I needed proper training on SQL, having had to self-teach for several months."
Alexander Mason
Capel Manor College
"An excellent trainer. Very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand."
Alex Brian
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"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."
Alysha Aitken
Adidas UK
"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
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"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."
