Course Reviews

As a novice to SQL I found the training very informative. Interesting speaker, very patient.

Christine - Customer Service - Academic


We enjoyed the course and the instructor was very helpful to us .The documents were organized well.

Saleh Sulaiman - ORACLE SYSTEM APPLICATION DEVELOPER - Defence


This was a very enlightening course. Although having worked with SQL before, and knowing quite a lot of oracle SQL there were still a few things I had no knowledge of. This course has equipped me with far more knowledge than I had before.
