"I cannot fault the course or trainer. It was the best professional training I've ever received."
Justin Cowley
Derby Homes Ltd
"Our trainer did a great job, who went above and beyond my expectations. I thought the course was really useful and my knowledge with regards SQL has increased 10 fold."
Mike Dolan
Individuals
"Great training, with an amazing trainer. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept the group fully engaged and made sure everyone was comfortable with the content. A great session"
Enmanuel Moreno Gomez
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"The course was really useful and informative. I liked how it was interactive, and you could code/experiment as you went along. I also found the exercises a useful way to continue to solidify what you learnt."
Liz Gabriel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Very good trainer who went out of his way to answer any questions that we had."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass Ltd
"I enjoyed the interactive nature of the course, as personally, I find I learn best by actually carrying out the exercises, rather than just being shown. I also liked the repetition of the tasks, as this helped me learn the principles."
Tom Tuck
Macfarlanes LLP
"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"It was highly interactive: having to type out and run the code alongside the trainer ensured that I learned how to do it (vs trying to absorb lots of theory from powerpoints!) Our trainer was very personable, and ensured that we stayed engaged throughout - not easy to do over a three day course delivered remotely!"
Myriam Telford
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"The course was well presented and understandable. I learnt some new things and came away feeling more confident in the SQL skills I already had. I've no doubt the manual will prove very useful in the future."
Jo Lockett
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable about SQL (and movies!) and was always keen and able to answer any of our questions with expert detail. It was a pleasure to interact with him and he was very welcoming. I would gladly take another course with Wise Owl in the future."
Conor Fegan
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This was probably one of the most engaging and satisfying courses that I have been on. I was originally a bit nervous that I might not be able to keep up with the level of expected prerequisites. However, the course was pitched at the correct level for me, I gained a lot from it and we had an excellent trainer. I would be happy, if I had the opportunity, to attend another course by Wise Owl e.g. a Python or Power BI course."
PJ Bansel
Dale Underwriting Partners
"Very good course - very well delivered, with information given in digestible chunks and learned a lot of very useful tools and techniques. Instructor was very clear and explained each concept well. Would recommend this course."
Oliver Staunton
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Great course - connecting through a remote desktop, I feel was valuable. To have the trainer able to see if I was going wrong was great. Good reputation among my colleagues."
Charlotte Clare
Bedfordshire Police
"Trainer was very enthusiastic, which made a big difference to staying engaged with following along and completing exercises."
Rosie Heape
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"The course gave a great initial introduction to SQL and how to build useful queries that I can use to interrogate our datasets."
Imogen Soper
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"The course was really helpful, informative and covered all areas needed (and listed in the course guide). The trainer was easy to approach and to ask for help and a very effective trainer. This recent experience, along with past experience of Wise Owl, confirms that you're a great company. Your website is the first I go to whenever looking at future training."
Rebecca Kirkby
East Coast Community Healthcare CIC
"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
