"Brilliant as usual, we have been using Wise Owl for years. Love the availability of ongoing support after the course if needed."
Nicole Tavlas
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Great course and has made us think about how we can improve our own SQL code in our DB."
Guy Wates
VW Heritage Parts Centre
"Brilliant course for a beginner, especially with the course manual provided - really useful when working on anything Power BI. Our trainer was absolutely brilliant with us all, judged the pace perfectly and was happy to go on small tangents when questions were asked. "
Mark Bird
The Phoenix Group
"An amazing trainer! Very engaging and helpful."
Holly Turner
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Really helpful course, delivered in a way that ensured we were all starting from the same point and that we all left each stage at the same point. Very, very useful course with a great tutor."
Joseph Gaskin
Liverpool Health Partners
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course, the trainer was very knowledgeable. He broke the course down well and answered all the questions I had. Best training experience I've had, thank you. Required SSRS training and your company was highly rated on Google and on top searches."
Tom Evans
The Placement Group (TPG)
"The course manual will be useful as a reference to remind us of what we learnt on the course. Previously enjoyed courses delivered by WiseOwl. We trust WiseOwl for useful course material, engaging tutors that make the course interesting and administrating everything so easily."
Tom Morgan
Hounslow Council
"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The course was great. We were a mixed ability group but the trainer provided really clear instructions and was always happy to answer my questions. I learnt loads and it was a really relaxed learning environment. My colleague had attended Wise Owl training in the past and she recommended you."
Anna Bullen
Loughborough University
"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
"Great course as always!"
Ahmed Elbably
PwC
"Great teacher, who explained things thoroughly, thank you."
Hakon Hardrade
Operational Solutions Ltd
"Course was great, trainer was very clear, friendly and knowledgeable. Content was good and great to be given a course manual too, very handy! "
Nazma Begum
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"A great trainer and very patient. Great explanation of content which made it an enjoyable couple of days."
Adam Lucas
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Foundation Trust
"The trainer was great. He explained the basics really clearly and was super helpful if we ever got stuck on something, and went at a good pace so that we could keep up without getting bored. The examples were both fun and relevant to the kinds of things we might want to do at work (like feeding information through from a pop-up box, error checking etc.). The course manual is also really impressive. I would definitely recommend this course."
Jenny Roberts
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
"The trainer was amazing, content was spot on and I benefited much more than expected from the course. Very well presented, communication skills and flexibility with content was appreciated."
Samantha Bangs
Welcome Break
"Great course, really enjoyed it. It has so much potential to help out with day to day tasks at both work and home. Really useful to have the interactions and overviews of other Microsoft products such as Power BI, adaptive card designer and MS Graph. Whilst I can understand that the new designer has bugs, it was actually quite beneficial encountering these during the course as it allowed us to see how to problem solve them in the future."
Kerry Coyne
The Phoenix Group
"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."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass Ltd
"Training was great. Our trainer is very knowledgeable and has a very good way of training people."
Amandine Catiau
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"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."
