"A fantastic trainer and so knowledgeable; he was able to answer every query and even spent time looking further into more complex issues for us. He works at a very good pace, is friendly, welcoming and puts you at ease. The exercises work very well and the approach to these is excellent, with our trainer leaving us to work on them unless we ask for help."
Becky Young
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"I thought using the remote desktop so that the trainer could see what we were doing on the screen was a really efficient way of running training. Time was made for questions and the trainer customised the training based on questions that were asked by the group. I learned so much from the three days. The YouTube videos were so clearly explained and were invaluable, they gave confidence that the course would be of high quality."
Mel Rea

"Our trainer was so easy to follow, clear with his instructions and very patient. I liked the way the course was segmented, with short breaks. A great experience, thanks!"
Kate Joynson

"Our trainer was great and made the course really interesting and engaging. We had some technical difficulties but these were all at our end, and everyone at Wise Owl was really helpful and patient in that respect - thank you!"

"The course content was perfect for our group and the trainer was really good - very personable and friendly. Wise Owl came recommended through a colleague who had attended a Wise Owl training session previously. Thank you."

"Loved the course. The trainer was extremely thorough, clear, helpful and engaging. We were all delighted with his teaching."

"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

"Great course. The trainer was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. Online course format worked well and the way the trainer viewed our screens meant he was able to give us hints/advice if we'd made any typos/errors, without holding the other delegates up."
Lyndsey Bell

"I really enjoyed how interactive and intuitive everything was. The use of the virtual desktop to connect to, kept me engaged and liked that it was not just reading or showing."
Bruce Forsman

"Absolutely loved the course. Fab and really engaging trainer. The pace was good and the way the courses are set up makes it really easy to follow along with the exercises. I have attended a Wise Owl course previously and found the trainer really engaging and the course really useful, so I was hopeful that I would have just as good an experience with this course - which I did :)"

"Fantastic course and our trainer was amazing! The way the course ran with the use of remote desktop and the trainer being able to ensure you were following the right steps worked really well and ensured no one was left behind. I learnt so much from the course that I can't wait to apply into my day to day role!"
Laura Murphy
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course. A great teacher who didn't overcomplicate anything which I was a bit surprised by, as when you think of anything related to coding you'd assume it requires a lot of brain power which can be a bit overwhelming, but that wasn't the case at all. Would love to come back for another course. Thanks!"
Syed Hasnain
Sucden Financial Limited
"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."

"Our trainer was really helpful, very patient and managed to amend the course and requirements, as we went along."
Jennine Carpenter

"Thoroughly enjoyed the training, the course is really interesting and can't wait to start building reports. Trainer was excellent, his ability to easily explain processes helped massively and his knowledge of the system was clearly excellent as he was able to answer, in detail, every question thrown at him. Great course, great trainer."

"I enjoyed the 3-day course, I found all elements beneficial. I have done a Power BI course before with learning tree and can honestly say I found this more useful, and I feel more confident with Power BI than going into the course. The course was well structured, the units were well balanced through the 3 days. The trainer was the star of the show, it was very clear he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He explained each unit in a way which was easy to grasp and practise. He also did a very good job explaining the under workings of DAX to help us understand what was going on in the background. What I liked most was the movie data set we worked with throughout the whole course. Most data sets are related to sales, companies etc. I found working with a movie data set more interesting and engaging. Great three days, I would happily study with Wise Owl again."
Jonathan Hernandez
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"A really good trainer, able to cope easily with the random questions we had and to ensure that everyone was able to keep up, despite differing levels of knowledge."
Zoe Oakley
Hertfordshire Constabulary
"An excellent trainer. Very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand."
Alex Brian

"Perfect! The pace was fast, content delivered well and I got everything from the course I was hoping for. As we already have software development experience, it meant we could canter through the content and focus on the applicable differences. Well worth having a 'private' course for us three attendees, as this allowed us to prioritise the content in the time available and gave the opportunity to discuss aspects of our current software project in the context of the course with the trainer. We feel we can 'hit the ground running' now."
