"The course was very well delivered. Our trainer was very knowledgeable and his jokes even brought a positive mood to the course. He was very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace, will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I chose this course to gain more of an understanding how to use the different elements of SQL to manipulate the data in our council performance system. This has certainly helped me a lot and I am more confident of filtering data, using joins etc which I was a bit apprehensive about before."

"Trainer was brilliant, can't fault. Content was easy to understand and very digestible. "
Shaun Devonshire

"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"This course was very useful and helpful for the work that we will be undertaking at the council in the future. Our trainer was very knowledgeable, very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace. He was able to answer any questions I had and was able to advise on how we are using the system for our performance data. Will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I have previously done the Introduction to SQL course, so wanted to expand my knowledge further and learn how I could implement all the different techniques into our own system. I will be exploring the Power BI courses once we are in a position to do so."

"I've been on two Wise Owl courses so far and both times I started as a complete beginner and left feeling fairly confident to use the software package, I've been trained on. Our trainer was fantastic. I really appreciated his enthusiasm throughout and his patience when helping me resolve mistakes."
Libin Osman

Rosie Heape
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"An excellent course delivered at just the right pace and taking account of the differing ability levels of all candidates. An exceptional trainer with a fantastic delivery style. I will be recommending to others to use Wise Owl. Chose Wise Owl as a result of previous positive experiences and would definitely chose you again for any future training requirements."

"Great training. Enjoyed the experience and learnt a vast amount. Content provided in the manual and exercises is top-quality."
Dominic Cornthwaite
University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Foundation Trust
"Really good session! Learnt a lot and our trainer was really helpful and really clear on explanations."
Ushni Devraj
PEI Group
"A great trainer and very knowledgeable! The confidence in his training was amazing and I knew that my understanding of SQL will be much better under his guidance. I liked how he was able to support anyone that was finding it hard or challenging, he didn't let anyone feel alone."
Raj Bains
PEI Group
"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
"I had a great time, thank you so much for a fab course!"
Holly Tyers
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"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
"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)
"I really enjoyed the course. It was simple to follow along and was at the right pace to understand everything being taught. Many thanks for a great two days!"
Lorna King
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Our trainer was great, very clear and happy to go into any questions we came up with. I liked how flexible the course was depending on the attendees' ability levels and interests. I also thought the model of typing along with the trainer (rather than sitting through a bunch of slides) worked really well to keep me engaged and awake, even on a Friday afternoon!"
Isobel Russ
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Our trainer was awesome. He very clearly knows his subject inside out, and this was evident in his delivery. He wasn't phased by anything and could look at my colleague's code and know exactly what was going on. He was especially good at helping us with our own code, and giving us a gentle nudge in the right direction. Overall, I would rate this course 11/10. It delivered exactly what was promised and more. I would have struggled to get budget for both Basic and Advanced, so this course was spot on the money (literally)."
