About half of our courses are created bespoke for a single organisation, and either delivered onsite (usually somewhere in the UK, but we're willing to travel!) or online. For onsite courses we will usually provide and set up the necessary computers free of charge.

There are four main reasons why you might want to book tailored training like this:

  1. If you have 3 or more people, organising custom training will probably be cheaper than booking people individually onto a scheduled course.
  2. You'll be able to choose the content of any training, and be able to pause it for discussions on how you'll use software internally, or ask to take digressions.
  3. You may not be able to travel to our venues, so it might be easier to ask us to travel to you.
  4. You may not be able to make the dates of our published scheduled courses, and want to be able to choose when your training takes place.

If you'd like a quote for how much a tailored course would cost please let us know what you'd like to achieve and we'll get back to you (normally within half a working day).

What other people have said about our SQL training

Here are some comments we've received about our SQL training . You can see all of our 399 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.

"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

"A fantastic trainer and I'm really pleased I asked for this course - it was exactly what I wanted and I have already used the new knowledge to help with multiple queries that I've been struggling with, since I joined 1.5 years ago! As always, the supporting material is great."

Alex Walker

MPM Products

"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

Adidas UK

"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "

Jessica Clark

West Berkshire Council

"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 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."

About this Bite-sized Joins in SQL course

Click on one of the tabs below to see the given information about this SQL course.

This half-day course will teach you how to get data out of SQL Server databases like this one:

Example of linked tables

You'll learn how to create joins linking tables together in different ways.

During the course we'll cover inner joins, outer joins, left joins, right joins and reticulated spline joins (only one of those is made up).

Pre-requisites

You should only attend this course if you already know how to create basic queries in SQL, and understand the structure of tables and databases.

What you'll need to bring

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

  1. A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
  2. A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed.  This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers using our whizzy Wordsworth online training system, and these computers will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

  • For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
  • For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it). We will also ask you whether you want to receive a printed copy of the course manual (and post this to you if you do).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
