"I really enjoyed the course and I learned a lot from taking part. Our trainer was very well informed and made it very engaging, explaining concepts well. I took part as I wanted an opportunity to use commands in SQL that I sometimes lack confidence in using on our own datasets, as I fear it going wrong. Doing it in a safe environment built up the confidence to use them going forwards."
Katie Dowden
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"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
"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 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
"Honestly such a brilliant course with brilliant trainer - thank you so much! "
Sakhile Lafayette

"The course gave a great initial introduction to SQL and how to build useful queries that I can use to interrogate our datasets."
Imogen Soper
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"The course was brilliant from start to finish. The trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I learned a lot that I can put into practice at work and would definitely be interested in doing another course with WiseOwl. I have recommend the course to my colleagues."
Michael Cutts
Barnsley MBC
"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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

"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"A brilliant course put together with meticulous detail and taught by an amazing trainer in a fun and engaging manner. I’m extremely grateful for the experience and the content I have learnt. Thank you :) ! I have watched the Wise Owl videos on YouTube for years and am a huge fan, so naturally I jumped at the chance when my employer offered me the opportunity to take the Introduction to SQL course to level up on my existing knowledge."
Paul Symonds
The University of Manchester
"Really good learning pace. Everyone kept up to speed, even when helping anyone who was stuck. Very insightful for the potential use of other support software alongside SQL."
Sam Ohren
Liquid Logic (System C)
"The online set up worked really well with the trainer being able to see what we were doing. I liked that the size of the class was small. The trainer was excellent at explaining things and kept me engaged. I think it's great we were able to copy the files and I can go away and look at the exercises and practice in my own time. I also loved that we saved so many scripts with the examples, as it will be really helpful to refresh my memory. The course manual is also really useful and will be my new bible. Thank you. Wise Owl were recommended by a colleague."
Helene Wardell
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
"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)
"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
"I was happy with the course. The trainer knows his stuff and answered all our questions easily. He also ensured that he addressed any gaps in our knowledge. The course materials are clear. I will have to go back to go through some exercises but I feel far more confident in being able to understand, create or modify more complex SQL scripts now."
Christine Milling
L&Q Group
"Our trainer was great, very clear and happy to go into any questions we came up with. I liked how flexible the course was depending on the attendees' ability levels and interests. I also thought the model of typing along with the trainer (rather than sitting through a bunch of slides) worked really well to keep me engaged and awake, even on a Friday afternoon!"
Isobel Russ
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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. "

"Really enjoyed the course. The trainer was excellent and made the content easy to understand. Our college has used WiseOwl in the past and I'm sure we will use for training in the future."
Jack Draper
Macclesfield College
"Very comprehensive training course without being so much that it became overwhelming. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful trainer who communicated and explained the content effectively. I also think the course manual and exercises provided are excellent and I am sure will be really useful resources post-training."
