"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."

"The course structure and coaching method were great. Our trainer was a joy to work with, his experience and expertise, as well as people skills were amazing. Could not ask for a better trainer. Will defo be in touch for further training courses and advise etc."

"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

"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."

"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."

"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"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."

"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."

"A great trainer and very patient. Great explanation of content which made it an enjoyable couple of days."
Adam Lucas

"Another excellent course delivered by Wise Owl. Thank you. Wise Owl content is always delivered in a manner that enthuses and motivates; making often complicated subjects much easier to decipher and digest. I will be using Wise Owl again."
Christopher Evans
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"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
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"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
"I took the Intro to SQL course and highly recommend it. Everything was organized and thoughtful from pre-course to the actual training. Our trainer was really good, knowledgeable, and friendly. As someone with no background in SQL, I was worried that I might not be able to go with the pace of training but our trainer made sure that everyone was getting along with the topics. Learned a lot and I'm excited to apply it all. Interested to learn more too!"
John Austria

"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)
"An amazing teacher! I was particularly impressed with the pacing off the classes, they never felt too fast or slow. It was a matter of layering simple concepts on top of each other until we could understand something quite complicate, which really worked for me. I've been singing Wise Owl's praises ever since!"
