"Really enjoyed the training and I've learned a lot which will be really helpful to my work."
Amelia Jewell
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"A really helpful course, the content was just right in terms of a mix of more simple and more advanced tasks. I learned loads of new stuff. Our trainer was great and I'd recommend the company again."
Jenny Bowman
University of Lincoln
"I thought the course was superb. The content delivery and the accessibility to all was really impressive, having the exercises to work through during the course helped consolidate the knowledge. The content was really easy to follow and if we were ever stuck, were given the confidence to feel like we could ask for help. I have been on multiple different training courses with different providers and I can honestly say the course was delivered by the best trainer I have ever had. The passion he has for teaching and helping others learn was clearly on show and was so refreshing and great to see. Throughout both days he made you feel so welcome and that no question was a stupid question, he was always there to help and guide you through any problems we had and overall he was just amazing, I couldn't have asked for any more and he went above and beyond my expectations for the course and what I would gain from it. "

"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
"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."
Sema Guler
Financial Times
"The course was really well paced. The trainer made sure we understood the basics before continuing."
Megan Roberts
Southbank Centre
"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 superb, he understood how I related to what I was learning and was able to put things into a context that suited me. He made me feel at ease and that no question was a stupid question. I am already recommending you guys to colleagues and want to book another course. Wise Owl was recommended by a colleague in my new team."
Liam Dutson
URIS Group/Towergate Insurance/Commercial
"Our trainer did a great job, who went above and beyond my expectations. I thought the course was really useful and my knowledge with regards SQL has increased 10 fold."
Mike Dolan

"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"It was highly interactive: having to type out and run the code alongside the trainer ensured that I learned how to do it (vs trying to absorb lots of theory from powerpoints!) Our trainer was very personable, and ensured that we stayed engaged throughout - not easy to do over a three day course delivered remotely!"
Myriam Telford
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"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)
"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The course instructor was very knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic to keep everyone involved. The course was not overwhelming and I came away feeling I've learned quite a bit more about SQL."
John Payne
Liquid Logic (System C)
"The course was great. We were a mixed ability group but the trainer provided really clear instructions and was always happy to answer my questions. I learnt loads and it was a really relaxed learning environment. My colleague had attended Wise Owl training in the past and she recommended you."
Anna Bullen
Loughborough University
"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."
