"The course was very well taught & it was the clear that the trainer was very knowledgeable and had lots of experience. Teaching online was great as the instructor could clearly see what we were doing on the Remote Desktop. Plenty of breaks which was good as too much information too quickly would normally cause a headache! Chose fast track SQL to learn as much as possible in a short space of time. Glad to have learnt parts from both intro to SQL and advanced SQL course, definitely made the most of our time."

"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."
Madeleine Lewis

"I really enjoyed the course. Thank you for all the additional information and the videos you have available. I almost chose the beginner course but after a great chat with one of your trainers, I think I correctly chose the advanced course. I've also had great feedback from other employees at my company who have also taken a course with Wise Owl. Great staff at every point through the journey."

"The 3-day Fast-track SQL course was my second course with Wise Owl and I really enjoyed the course as well as the teaching style. The content and pace was good and our trainer answered all questions asked in detail, showing his knowledge and expertise in the subject. Would recommend this course to anyone."

"Good pace for the course and thoroughly explained examples were used throughout. I like that all the resources used within the course are available to use afterwards."

"The course was well implemented. An excellent trainer, with great knowledge of the subject. The training was well organised and structured, the equipment provided was excellent. "
Sam Walden

"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
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A great trainer and very knowledgeable! The confidence in his training was amazing and I knew that my understanding of SQL will be much better under his guidance. I liked how he was able to support anyone that was finding it hard or challenging, he didn't let anyone feel alone."
Raj Bains
PEI Group
"Really liked the course - enjoyed how the trainer was willing to address additional questions at the end of the course, about indexing and how this applies to our work."
Siobhan Humphreys
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"One of the best tutors I have had for any training course I've ever done (and I have done a few). I haven't done any coding but the trainer was able to lay out the basics and build upon them, to have a good foundation of knowledge to use in more advanced techniques. This course was suggested by my manager and I think I'll be back for the advanced one!"
Alex Howarth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"An excellent trainer, full of energy and really keen to see us improve on our existing SQL skills. Kept me engaged throughout the entire training process. Used SQL in the past but wanted to gain more understanding of the different clauses which are used. Came out of the training with a much better understanding of SQL, in that I now know when to use each clause and how to format queries."
Joshua Woolner
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"The course was well structured, with each section helpfully building on the contents of the previous. The trainer was very clear with his explanations and paced the course well. I was fortunate enough to be the only person on the course, so was able to ask plenty of questions and always received helpful and informative answers."
Ollie Jacob
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A great trainer who explained everything so well and in detail. He would help if you had questions or were stuck on anything. Course content was also really good and covered a lot of areas."
Lauren Buck
Micro Scooters
"The course was very well delivered. Our trainer was very knowledgeable and his jokes even brought a positive mood to the course. He was very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace, will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I chose this course to gain more of an understanding how to use the different elements of SQL to manipulate the data in our council performance system. This has certainly helped me a lot and I am more confident of filtering data, using joins etc which I was a bit apprehensive about before."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln Council
"An excellent trainer and for content that could have been a bit dry, he kept it engaging and helped people understand at whatever level they were at. He is clearly exceptionally knowledgeable and this came across in a really approachable manner. He was happy to spend more time with people when required."
Matthew Fielding
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"It was a great introductory course at a good pace. I had no prior SQL knowledge and found it really useful. It's good that we could copy over the exercises at the end of the course to enable us to practice in our own time. Our trainer was very friendly and approachable"
Cheryl Walker
APSE Manchester
"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
"Very handy. I tend to unfortunately try and focus too much on things I think I might use, instead of the overall course. The trainer is very good at showing why the whole picture is important."
