John is an exceptional teacher. I first completed the SQL course with him four years ago, followed by PL/SQL two years later, and most recently, the Advanced SQL training. Each course has significantly contributed to my career development. John’s teaching style, clarity, and support have made a lasting impact on my learning journey.

This is now my second course with John at StayAhead and once again the delivery was simply excellent. I was a little bit worried coming in that I wouldn't have the requisite knowledge, however, I found that it was just about the perfect level between being able to understand the concepts and stretching the grey matter. Best fun I've had at work for a while now and would very highly recommend the course to anyone who's taking on more PL/SQL work in their job. Hoping to come back for more in the future!!

The course was particularly good and certainly took my PL/SQL to another level. A lot of extremely useful stuff beyond programming. And certainly gave ideas what is possible. The instructor was particularly good and very knowledgeable and anything he didn't know he would investigate and come with the explanation. That is not my first class with him and one of the reason, I actually book with this company.
