"A lot crammed in to three days, but the pacing was good with plenty of breaks. The opportunity to follow along with the remote connection was excellent, knowing we had exact copies of the environment and access to all the working files. Support before (connection check) and the printed documents were a great touch. Our trainer was genuinely happy to be teaching us, knew what he was talking about and was great with all our questions."

"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."

"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."

"Our trainer was clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter and kept the course flowing well. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions too, which helped to put the course into context for our business area. I have attended previous training courses with Wise Owl."

"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!"

"This was a great follow on course to the beginner level. The course was well paced and the trainer fielded questions directly related to our work. Facilities at the venue were excellent as well. The course handbooks with exercises are well produced and will provide a good reference for later use. I'd highly recommend this course/company. Your YouTube channel prompted us to originally choose your course and the fact that there was a regional venue for the class."

"The course was delivered at the right pace and covered a sufficient level of details. Our trainer was excellent at explaining the functionality as we worked through each exercise."
Richard Franklin

"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
