"The trainer, was brilliant, really informative. Useful learning the processes and she had a great way of conveying the learning. I was a last minute addition to the course. I wasn't aware of Wise Owl but I will be researching and looking out for future courses."

"This was a really good course, the best course I've taken in a long time and I am already applying what I've learnt."

"The course was really good. Well-timed and organised and wasn't too slow or fast for a new user to pick up on. I'd done a bit of self-training online but wanted a course where I could interact with and pose questions to a trainer and have a bit more insight into a SQL database."
Andrew Griffiths
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I was thoroughly impressed with the course overall. The pre check meeting was a great first impression to the course. Our instructor, was not only an amazing teacher but kept us all entertained and engaged over the 2 days. The course content and pace was perfect for someone like me with no experience of SQL and for those with a bit of experience. I would highly recommend. "

"Course content was great, clear and easy to follow. A great instructor who kept the course engaging and moved at a good pace, with some good jokes cracked too."

"It's great to get some extra information that isn't usually in the course (a walkthrough about measures was particularly helpful!)"
Jamie Yeo

"Good friendly energetic trainer. Good flow of content kept interest."

"I absolutely loved the course and attending it has given me a lot of food for thought in how I can implement the use within my team. The trainer was superb and communicated clearly the 'how' and 'why' you'd do things in a certain way, looking out for common errors along the way. I needed to know about how to import data into SQL, which wasn't part of the course content, but the trainer was very accommodating by staying behind with me for 10 minutes to show me how I'd do this, which was very much appreciated. I am inexperienced when it comes to using databases and writing script/code, however I had heard about the benefits of using SQL as a tool and wanted to upskill. Thank you for the course - I hope to come on another sometime soon!"

"The course was really engaging and the tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the content at the right pace. The paper workbooks were great as I could make notes for each section. "
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer was engaging and informative, and led the course at the right pace. He had a good understanding of when the group needed a break (especially on the second day of the course which took place on Friday!), and was attentive and responsive to any questions."
Ollie Jacob
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"A great presenter, really helpful and really good at explaining concepts."
Alistair Rice
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This course was pitched just right for our skill levels. Pacing and content were spot on. Our trainer was approachable and fielded all of our daft questions! The venue was located perfectly for the station. Materials provided in support of the course were really good and I'll keep them as reference. I can't think of anything that I would have liked to see changed. We chose this particular course as we were wanting to do a classroom based one (and Manchester was an ideal location) and we have been with Wise Owl before."
Nathan Cain

"The course gave a great initial introduction to SQL and how to build useful queries that I can use to interrogate our datasets."
