Student Reviews
This SQL course was very beneficial for me personally in new techniques needed in my job especially for reporting and stored procedures. The instructor was very knowledgable and engaging. Excellent course.
Matthew G. is very professional, he is very knowledgeable about the course and i love the way that he has different ways to explain it if you don't get it in the first time.
Matthew again was very comprehensive and well organized. He personalised the examples and made sure we understood each section. A real credit to the industry
The course was well instructed; Matthew was thorough and well-spoken as he demonstrated and broke down methods and techniques.
Mathew is great instructor. He made complicated concepts in advanced SQL interesting. There are only two of us in the class so all questions are being answered clearly and in details. He also shared valuable real world experience and tips.
good course. Great tutor! Since Mark has a high school teaching background explains complex things in layman terms which is amazing! thanks :)
I have participated in previous SQL courses, and this one is by far the best. From the trainer to the content everything was well informed and insightful. I have learnt so much from this course and feel my confidence with using SQL has increased ten folds.
I loved it. There is a lot of information to process. I would have loved to be able to do exercises on our own
Mark is an excellent instructor and teacher and I'd definitely do another course with him. He's one of the better instructors I've ever come across. I also enjoyed his sense of humour.
Mark was a very enjoyable, knowledgeable, and helpful instructor. The mix of theory, working examples, and real-world examples was very appreciated and I feel confident in absorbing most if not all of the material. I would definitely recommend this course.
Overall, the training was very informative and well-structured. Mark explained concepts clearly. It was a valuable learning experience, and I feel more confident using SQL. Thank you for a great session!
Course was good. Support was provided. Lecturer was knowledgeable. Will recommend course to other colleagues.
This is my second time attending a workshop training with Matthew and I am as pleased with his teaching style and ability to break down complex ideas into something more palletable/easier to understand. Furthermore, he likes to sprinkle humour and also life experiences/teachings throughout the lessons makes it more engaging and breaks up the mundane teaching if needed. Thank you so much Matthew for teaching me! I really enjoyed it :)
I've completed the SQL Essentials course IN PERSON but wanted to do the SQL Advanced course ONLINE to try a different trainer. It was the best decision I've made, and Mark was fantastic. He answered my questions WITH examples and always stayed on topic. Mark also was great at pacing the course. I've had such a great experience that I will be looking at doing a "re-sit" of the Essentials course online with Mark.
Mark was amazing, he went very indepth in everything and made sure to answer all our questions, I am very pleased.
