"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
"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
"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
"Course content was great, clear and easy to follow. A great instructor who kept the course engaging and moved at a good pace, with some good jokes cracked too."
Aurelia Heyworth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I really thought the balance of the course, leaving each member of the team to progress at their own pace with additional help where needed, was excellently carried out and overall this was one of the most informative and enjoyable learning experiences I have had. Huge credit to our trainer for engaging us all in the course and going above and beyond to make sure we got both the most complete and most relevant training we could."
Tim Leadbetter
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"I found the course very useful. The activities will be useful for future reference when implementing some of the content. The trainer was very patient and made the course easy to follow and enjoyable."
Sarah Clarke
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"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
Individuals
"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
"I really enjoyed the course and the IT worked well. It was really well delivered by an extremely knowledgeable trainer, who kept us engaged with his humour. He was willing to go above and beyond the course contents to help us."
James Parsonage
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"Very good course - very well delivered, with information given in digestible chunks and learned a lot of very useful tools and techniques. Instructor was very clear and explained each concept well. Would recommend this course."
Oliver Staunton
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"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
"A really enjoyable course, very well led by the trainer. Course materials very comprehension. Would recommend WiseOwl to others as a great provider. "
Jo Whiteside
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust
"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 class size was ideal. The trainer provided a thoughtful and entertaining experience, and was clearly well prepared. Remotely signing in was seamless. I needed proper training on SQL, having had to self-teach for several months."
Alexander Mason
Capel Manor College
"Really enjoyed both days and the trainer did an excellent job. "
James Lavelle
Ignite Systems
"I enjoyed the course. The laptop set up was especially helpful as we could use practical examples and see the results for ourselves. I could see that we were all gaining confidence."
Natalie Yau
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"The instructor made complex content accessible and enjoyable to learn. The manual will also provide further learning and support my SQL use at work. I chose the course based on the strength of the Power BI course (I previously attended) and the standard of this course was just as good."
Sophia Sharpley
Sage Publishing
"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"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
"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."
