"I have been struggling with SQL since being given the task and trying to keep up with my colleagues. This was a very informative course, easy to follow and the trainer was very patient and knowledgeable."
Gaynor Garside-Gee
Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust
"Really liked our trainer who was a great explainer - keep it up!"
Benedict Summers

"A really great teacher."
Orla Emberson
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A very positive experience from start to finish. An extremely good trainer - engaging, thorough and knowledgeable. Wise Owl is a cut above the rest, we will be returning customers! The opportunity to attend this course in a classroom environment was the deciding factor as I think that it provides a better learning experience."
Callum Lewis
URIS Group/Towergate Insurance/Commercial
"The trainer made the session fun and engaging."
Daniel Milne
Durham County Council
"I cannot fault the course or trainer. It was the best professional training I've ever received."
Justin Cowley
Derby Homes Ltd
"This has been the best training I have done, an incredible trainer and I was engaged the whole 2 days."
Lewis Johnson
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"I was thoroughly impressed with the course overall. The pre check meeting was a great first impression to the course. Our instructor, was not only an amazing teacher but kept us all entertained and engaged over the 2 days. The course content and pace was perfect for someone like me with no experience of SQL and for those with a bit of experience. I would highly recommend. "
Eliza Edwards
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"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
"Really well planned course - the use of virtual machines was excellent - not something I've ever experienced during an online training course and it felt very professional. The pre-course check the week before to iron out any technical issues, also meant that we didn't waste time troubleshooting on the day. A great trainer, very knowledgeable and kept the energy high each day which meant the sessions were easy to keep engaged with. I'm looking forward to using what I've learned and putting it into practice! Other members within our team had attended a previous session and described how useful it was."
Jamie-Leigh Edington
Sellafield Ltd
"Excellent course for me as a relative beginner/novice to both SQL and Report Builder. An excellent trainer, friendly and patient to deal with any issues. Very knowledgeable on the course subjects, offering clear and concise explanations throughout. Adaptable to deal with any questions with easy-to-follow answers/examples."
Paul Ash
Hertfordshire County Council
"I found the course really well planned and engaging. The content covered a wide variety of things and I now feel I have a greater understanding and knowledge of Power BI."
Natalie Graham
Sellafield Ltd
"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
"Good balance of fun and keeping to the course topics. Great instructor - not boring at all! Everything ran so smoothly, and I felt comfortable asking questions. Genuinely had fun."
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Excellent course well pitched and well led, by a trainer who has an excellent approach. He was very patient and personable."
Martin Miller

"Our trainer was excellent, very patient, clear and responsive. Very good having the face to face training in our venue."
Juliette Summerfield
Volumatic Ltd
"Our trainer was absolutely amazing, engaging and understandable! His knowledge of Power BI was fantastic, and I truly learnt so much and would recommend to anyone looking to better their knowledge of Power BI. Course content was exceptional. This course was great and the trainer made it even better."
Jonathan Bibby
Adidas UK
"Really enjoyed it."
Gary Woodcock
Wurth Elektronik
"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."
