"Really good session! Learnt a lot and our trainer was really helpful and really clear on explanations."
Ushni Devraj
PEI Group
"Our trainer was super helpful and always made sure to help/make things clearer if I didn't understand. He really made the course enjoyable too so thanks! "
Lindsay James
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"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
"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."
Conor Fegan

"The course was really well paced. The trainer made sure we understood the basics before continuing."
Megan Roberts
Southbank Centre
"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
"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
"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 enjoyable introduction to SQL with a great trainer, who kept us all engaged throughout. The exercises were good reinforcement and had a nice level of challenge to them."
Dave Pringle
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"Really enjoyed both days and the trainer did an excellent job. "
James Lavelle
Ignite Systems
"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
"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."
Jonathan Bibby
Adidas UK
"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson
Derby and Burton 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
"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was just right as it was brisk but I could keep up. There were plenty of interesting topics and I was never just sat listening, I was always involved. My manager attended the course a few years ago and recommended it."
Scott Richardson
Newcastle Building Society
"The course tutor was very friendly and welcoming to the course. He worked at a perfect pace for us to follow along with and understand. The course content was just enough to get started and not to overload the learner. I would highly recommend Wise Owl and will use again. This course was chosen as it came highly recommended by a colleague who did the advanced SQL course."
Finley Gray
NWF Agriculture Ltd
"Lots of insights and useful tips in this course! A great instructor, very clear and to the point!"
Guillaume Riguidel
Live Nation (Music) UK Limited
"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."
Sema Guler

"Great course and has made us think about how we can improve our own SQL code in our DB."
