Truly an introduction course into everything SQL. It covered the basics and fundamentals. Mark was always one step ahead while explaining things, as I go to ask a question he has already started to breakdown what he is talking about. Was very impressed with the resources he has shared with us, and giving us the chance to contact him after if need be was the cherry on top.

Matthew was an excellent instructor for the SQL Essentials course. His extensive experience as an IT professional really showed in the way he explained concepts and connected them to real‑life scenarios. The practical tips, clear explanations, and supportive learning environment made the two days engaging and genuinely valuable. Much appreciated for your great insights and experience!

Very well structured course. The instructor was very patient and led the course at a good pace where beginners like me could understand concepts easily. Good course material as well.

The overall training session with Mark was very insightful and helpful in understanding key SQL concepts to get started. He provided great analogies and kept me engaged during the session. Interaction with the class would have made it involved more active participation. Perhaps some time in the end for problem solving would have also been quite insightful and useful to cross any last doubts.

THIS COURSE IS EASY TO FOLLOW AND MARK IS GOOD AT EXPLAINING THE DETAILS OF THE LANGUAGE ITSELF. I ENJOYED THE COURSE BUT I DO HOPE WE COULD EXPAND A BIT MORE ON SOME CLAUSE RELATING TO DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE.

I did this course as a follow up course from when I did it back in August. I found it quite valuable as we covered things we never covered the first time. Things were also explained a lot clearer.
