really good trainer and well structured training. I can understand sql clearly and basics even though i used it in the past
The SQL Essentials course was very informative and interactive. I have learnt a lot due to the practical training provided.
Mark was awesome! He stepped us through the system thoroughly and methodically. I would definitely do another course.
I think the course was informative. I like how we were given a lot of references and resources after the course.
very detailed course. and instructor is very knowledgeable. was able to accommodate when IT departments don't allow special permissions
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.
Mark was fantastic - really helpful with the group and gave all people attending the time to raise questions and gave a detailed explanation.
it was very helpful to understand the SQL basic knowledge and how it gets advanced and more and more. it was easy to understand how teacher did his teaching and how the teaching skills were at its best.
Mark has been an amazing instructor! He is incredibly knowledgeable and I've learned a lot during the course. I would highly recommend his course to anyone.
Excellent instructor, explained concepts very clearly such that i am able to immediately apply this knowledge at work.
Very enjoyable course, well explained with examples. I think I'm now starting to understand SQL which has taken years!! Mark is very knowledgeable and friendly.
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.
