"An excellent presenter and trainer. Well organised course with adequate time to ask questions as well as take breaks from work."
Benjamin Rees
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A fantastic trainer who made sure everything was very clear and understood before moving to the next topic. The book you sent out has been genuinely helpful and I have kept it in my laptop bag for work and have already made additional use of it this morning."
Callum MacKay
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Brilliant from start to end. I am missing it already! Oddly, I think the online format works a bit better than in class, apart from the fact we couldn't all go for a beer at the end of it. I liked how our trainer could monitor all of our work at once and offer guidance without needing to name anyone. The whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable and ran smoothly and I would recommend you as a company with pleasure."
Marketa Koskova
Legal Aid Agency
"I had a great time, thank you so much for a fab course!"
Holly Tyers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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."
Jade Berry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I had done a lot of online tutorials on SQL, so wasn't sure how beneficial attending the course would be for me. However I came away from it feeling a lot more confident in my ability to use SQL and thought it had been a really helpful and useful course to attend. My bosses recommended Wise Owl SQL training to me."
Rachel Hollis
NHS West Yorkshire ICB
"An excellent trainer who explained everything in a very engaging way. I was very unconfident with joins and aggregate functions before the course but now feel competent with them thanks to him."
Thomas Crozier
Home Office
"Really interesting. Trainer was very helpful."
Ellie White
Cambridgeshire Constabulary
"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
"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
"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The trainer was very engaging and explained the course in good detail, easily understood."
Daniel Smith
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"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
"Trainer was very enthusiastic, which made a big difference to staying engaged with following along and completing exercises."
Rosie Heape
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"A great trainer who explained everything clearly. It was great to go to a course like this where things are explained, rather than trying to figure out the basics online. Really enjoyed the course and found it really satisfying that I could do it! Colleagues had done the advanced course with Wise Owl and recommended the company."
Hannah Woods
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"Great course and has made us think about how we can improve our own SQL code in our DB."
Guy Wates
VW Heritage Parts Centre
"A great trainer and it didn't feel like he was just reading from a script. He explained each step and showed us multiple ways to achieve the desired outcome and which methods should be used in a particular situation. He also pointed out any common problems or things we should look out for that he has experienced in his career. Other staff have already taken the course and have had positive things to say about it."
Ben Ryland
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"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
"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)
"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."
