"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
"A fantastic trainer who made sure everything was very clear and understood before moving to the next topic. The book you sent out has been genuinely helpful and I have kept it in my laptop bag for work and have already made additional use of it this morning."
Callum MacKay
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"The course instructor was very knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic to keep everyone involved. The course was not overwhelming and I came away feeling I've learned quite a bit more about SQL."
John Payne
Liquid Logic (System C)
"The course overall was great and I am happy I did it. The trainer was very friendly and taught everything thoroughly and with a lot of patience. The course materials were really helpful and thoroughly covered all aspects of SQL, especially for someone new to it! One thing which was particularly valuable was the step-by-step instructions included within."
Jasdeep Sandhu
CFC Underwriting
"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."
Jonathan Bibby
Adidas UK
"Well planned and presented."
Rob Cook
Live Nation (Music) UK Limited
"Brilliant from start to end. I am missing it already! Oddly, I think the online format works a bit better than in class, apart from the fact we couldn't all go for a beer at the end of it. I liked how our trainer could monitor all of our work at once and offer guidance without needing to name anyone. The whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable and ran smoothly and I would recommend you as a company with pleasure."
Marketa Koskova
Legal Aid Agency
"Fantastic course with a fantastic trainer, who really went the extra mile and did an amazing job explaining coding concepts."
Nathaniel Sillett
Dale Underwriting Partners
"Company feedback for WiseOwl has been great. Personally, this is the second time I've been on a course with the company and I couldn't fault it."
Hiten Mistry
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"A great trainer who explained everything clearly. It was great to go to a course like this where things are explained, rather than trying to figure out the basics online. Really enjoyed the course and found it really satisfying that I could do it! Colleagues had done the advanced course with Wise Owl and recommended the company."
Hannah Woods
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"Our trainer made the course very enjoyable with his enthusiasm and humour. He made sure I felt like I could ask all and any questions I wanted, despite also having to pay extra attention to the other trainee."
Philip Howlett
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"I really thought the balance of the course, leaving each member of the team to progress at their own pace with additional help where needed, was excellently carried out and overall this was one of the most informative and enjoyable learning experiences I have had. Huge credit to our trainer for engaging us all in the course and going above and beyond to make sure we got both the most complete and most relevant training we could."
Tim Leadbetter
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"The course was very well run and our trainer was great!"
Euan Wilkins
Department for Education
"Great course as always! Delivered well by our trainer, keeping at our pace and adapting to meet our requirements & questions."
Aron Bourne
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was just right as it was brisk but I could keep up. There were plenty of interesting topics and I was never just sat listening, I was always involved. My manager attended the course a few years ago and recommended it."
Scott Richardson
Newcastle Building Society
"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
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"The course was really good and really well delivered, as always. The trainer made the whole experience very enjoyable. I was looking for something to replace VBA in the long term. I'm not sure Office Scripts is quite ready to do this yet but I think the groundwork has been laid and I look forward to future developments."
Philip Wood
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"An excellent presenter and trainer. Well organised course with adequate time to ask questions as well as take breaks from work."
Benjamin Rees
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A really great teacher."
