"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."
Mitch Chambers

"Well planned and presented."
Rob Cook
Live Nation (Music) UK Limited
"The course was brilliant from start to finish. The trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I learned a lot that I can put into practice at work and would definitely be interested in doing another course with WiseOwl. I have recommend the course to my colleagues."
Michael Cutts
Barnsley MBC
"Really loved the whole experience. I'm a lot more confident and eager to use my skills going forward. The course was a great pace and ensured that you had a great foundation knowledge before moving on to more difficult areas of work. I think we used it because other people in my department have been on it before-I can see why they recommended it!!"
Hannah Bateman
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"Really slick course detailing useful SQL and shortcuts. Brilliant trainer; interested in everyone's progress and helped without embarrassing candidates. Proper nerdy environment, I loved it!! I would recommend Wise Owl to anyone who will listen. Chose the course to fill gaps in my knowledge as I've worked with SQL for over 20 years but never had any formal training."
Catherine Reilly
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson
Derby and Burton 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)
"Our trainer was brilliant, explained everything in great detail and made me feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how silly they might be! Overall it's a brilliant course and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to get to grips with SQL basics. Both of my colleagues had attended this course previously and it came highly recommended by them."
Dean Steffen
Linney Group Ltd
"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
Stuart Wallace
Dale Underwriting Partners
"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."
Aurelia Heyworth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I really enjoyed the course and I learned a lot from taking part. Our trainer was very well informed and made it very engaging, explaining concepts well. I took part as I wanted an opportunity to use commands in SQL that I sometimes lack confidence in using on our own datasets, as I fear it going wrong. Doing it in a safe environment built up the confidence to use them going forwards."
Katie Dowden
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"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)
"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 enjoyed the course, it had a very good structure and our Trainer was top-class!"
Matt Hemming
Liquid Logic (System C)
"Really enjoyed both days and the trainer did an excellent job. "
James Lavelle
Ignite Systems
"I found the course very useful and the trainer was brilliant. The trainer was really friendly and made me feel at ease allowing me to feel more comfortable asking questions when I was stuck. The trainer was also incredibly patient when I did ask questions/get stuck and went at an appropriate speed for the course attendees. I had very little experience with SQL, but I feel much more confident to get started now, having been on this course."
Jade Berry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"An amazing trainer. The online set up and structure of the course worked really well. I learned a lot, thank you!"
Kate Hutchinson
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"Very happy with the content and the trainer, who was great and was able to answer our specific questions and tailor examples to our roles."
