This has so far been the best technical training I've attended. The instructors were very patient but also were able to adjust the training on the spot based on my needs. I will for sure recommend the course to some colleagues and will look myself for other courses offered.

Arif - DBA - IT - March 2024
Brian is a great instructor and paced the sessions very well. The course covered all of the essential aspects of Java in good depth. Having access to a VM was great as it removed all the headache of setting up a local environment.
Ashlee - Government - March 2024
Very impressed with the training content and how useful I found it. John, the trainer, was also great, very accommodating and eager to share useful tips and tricks and answered all my questions. I also thought it helped that the workshop examples were usually on the same table, so that could just focus on practicing the specific content. The workshop examples were very well thought out and really helped with letting the acquired knowledge sink in.

Luke - Real Estate - February 2024

Well structured course with great learning examples.

It also helped that I was able to learn at home, saving the travel expense and also flexible.
Mo - Systems Infrastructure Engineer - Academic - January 2024
Stuart is a great lecturer, he is very engaging, goes at the right pace and easily adjusts to the needs of the group.

Jon - Analytical Support Officer - Academic - December 2023

Mathew - Government - November 2023
The course is spot on for those who've maybe utilised python many moons ago and need a refresher, or for someone who's given Python a go and is now ready to "Look under the bonnet" a bit more. I've found it to be a fantastic refresher on training I received over 10 years ago.

Alan was a great instructor with a vast knowledge base that he used to cover the topic in full and explain and answer any questions that we had.

His pace is perfect. A lot of hands-on experience and great course material to follow the workshop. I feel now very well prepared for the coming upgrades. Thanks
Caroline - DBA - Gen Pub & C/O - May 2023
Stuart has been great at being patient and explaining stuff in as many different ways as we needed. He demonstrated a very good grasp on the subject and a good ability to make it simple for new users like myself. I enjoyed his explanations, the attention he gives to "best practice", and even his on-the-side notes of fun facts slightly related. I would have happily gone for another day to be able to cover the whole course calmly, specially as the bit on objects and methods is difficult to grasp quickly.
Citlali - Foundation Scientist - Environmental - May 2023
The course was interesting and well taught. Even if I already had an understanding on the subject, it helped me put all the knowledge into context and have a better understanding of all the logic behind the framework.
Daniele - Software Developer - Finance - May 2023
Tarn was a really great instructor indeed - thank you. He was very knowledgeable with the PostgreSQL Product and explained everything really clearly to all of us.

Chadley - Pharmaceuticals - April 2023
The way Stuart delivered the course was fantastic coding along with him and setting us various challenges to get us thinking about the content he taught. I went on an AWS course and the technical challenges were just copy paste to get things working I much preferred Stuarts approach and also not doing a typical death by powerpoint style presentation.
Douglas - Software Developer - Government - April 2023
I found the course very interesting and very well paced. Tarn was an excellent instructor, very friendly and approachable, and very knowledgeable. I feel I have been given a very good grounding in Postgres and at the same time have the tools to deepen my knowledge.

The course was really good. I found tutor speaking very clearly and slow which was perfect as English in my second language.

Always waited for us to finish our exercise and made sure we understood the subject.
Inga - Junior Developer - Utilities - April 2023
I was very pleased with both the content and pace of the course.

Am seriously considering attending the extended course on Oracle tuning. Thanks!
Nathan - Police - April 2023
Very informative and educational, I asked lots of questions and felt comfortable in doing so. Tutor went out of his way to find out more about a function that was not covered in the course content and went on to explain it with example code afterwards.
Neil - Technical Support - Utilities - April 2023
I really enjoyed this course. Course was perfectly customized to meet our needs at work place. Trainer was very professional and had in depth knowledge of the subject.
Ravindra - DBA - IT - April 2023
I really enjoyed the course. I had some experience in React several years ago and this course was an excellent refresher, and it also taught me several things I didn't know before. I found the code-alongs and case study useful, as I find this is the best way for me to learn coding concepts. I also found it useful to hear about some of the debates about the tools and methods discussed as it helps me see some of the different ways of using them and which tools and methods work best for different types of project. Overall the style of the course worked well for me and I learned a lot.
Richard - Digital Developer - Government - April 2023
The course structure was really amazing. Everything was very nicely explained. Stuart (The instructor) has great knowledge about React and resolved all the queries I had.

Stuart also gave recommendations about the future projects that we could practice, and it was great. Overall, the course and the instructor were both really nice.

Excellent course giving a very good introduction to Python and Data Analysis.

Musie ran the course at exactly the right pace and reacted to questions and areas of interest well, happy to mould the course to our requirements and questions on-the-spot. Very much looking forward to taking this learning and seeing what I can do with it!
Simon - Data Analyst/Manager - Government - April 2023
Excellent instruction and a very enjoyable course. John clearly and concisely answered my questions and explained the areas which I found difficult in an easy to understand manner. Would highly recommend!
Vincenzo - Trainee Software Developer - Utilities - April 2023

Mike - SWC - Outsourcing - March 2023
Had a fantastic time on this course. Stuart was very clear in all of his explanations and demonstrations, working at a pace that allowed everyone to keep up. Really good to have so much context and real world examples. It was also great to have a complete application to take away for reference moving forwards.
Rachael - HEO Software Engineer - Government - March 2023
Excellent course from a great instructor. Favourite out of the 5 or so I have done with StayAhead. Stuart kept things engaging by varying often between practical and theory. Especially appreciated the quizzes first thing in the morning to go over yesterdays content as a primer for the day.

Really enjoyed the course and how Marian presented it, feel I have learnt a lot this week and been well worth while

A brilliant course tailored to our group - cannot commend Tarn highly enough. He listened to our background and work then spent more than time on areas relevant our work and learned broad principles to enable of other areas to gain a really good understanding of what I needed to learn in this subject area. Well done and thanks for the three days you have been with us - I normally hate online courses but Tarn has kept me engaged the whole time. Big thumbs up here :)
Trevor - Higher Systems & Data Analyst - Government - February 2023
I really enjoyed the course and Musie has been very helpful and patient throughout the course no matter how many questions we had. He took the time to help us through any issues and go over any topics that we may not have properly understood. Thank you for a nice training.
Zubilla - Business Intelligence Analyst - Government - February 2023
Good range of topic coverage. Brilliant instructor. Highly recommended.
Adam - Developer - Government - January 2023
Really good and well paced introduction course - trainer was excellent.
Andrew - Government - January 2023
Musie is one of the best tutors I have ever come across - so enthusiastic and knowledgeable - amazing .... Musie - thanks so much - I appreciate I did not have the pre-req for this course but you made it inclusive and very interesting. I really appreciated the time spent and the knowledge you shared. I learned a lot and have taken a lot of courses what an amazing brain you must have!
Arun - Cloud Engineer - Government - January 2023
John - thank you for another excellent training course.
Dan - Commercial Officer - Utilities - January 2023
Trainer Mark is a very affable man who is knowledgeable and above all, given my inexperience, patient. He made the subject enjoyable.
Michael - Government - January 2023
Great course, and very well delivered. Professional and experience trainer. Much preferred Stuart's code-along delivery style, rather than the traditional powerpoint and talking from the presenter, then an expectation for separate independent work. Stuart delivered well with a very mixed group of abilities. He enabled building of confidence in those new to the language, and provided valuable critique of those with prior experience who were trying to push themselves further, beyond what was necessarily prescribed by the course.
Phil - Government - January 2023
Thank you Brian. I really enjoyed the course. Good Pace and very good answers to my questions throughout the course.
Vincenzo - Utilities - January 2023
Mark was very friendly, approachable and understanding and delivered the course in a professional manner. I am certainly taking away a better understanding of AIX and have enhanced my knowledge base due to the content of the course.
Zander - Automotive - January 2023
Adam - Government - December 2022
John was a fantastic trainer - really engaging and kept the course moving at a brilliant pace - I was not so familiar with Linux and he really kept me included. I have really enjoyed the course and think for this particular subject to keep it so lively and engaging is a credit to John. Thanks very much !
Arun - Government - December 2022
Really good course, access and use of StayAhead's training vms really helped enforce learning along with the practical assignments.
Ashley - IT - December 2022
Even that I don't have much experience with Oracle Apex, it was not difficult to understand the concepts and different topics. I highly recommend this course and John (trainer).
Ergys - Principal Technician Software Developer - Government - December 2022
I found that that the course was pitched just at the right level. I was a bit concerned that, having been in software development for some time (although relatively new to Python) that some parts of the course might be of less relevance. Not a bit if it, I have learned stuff in the last 4 days that I would never have picked up from a text book or on-line video. The stuff around Object Oriented programming and how the different data types are used and how you can implement them in Python have been especially useful. I have learned a tremendous amount about python not just about the language itself but, perhaps more importantly, how it could be practically applied in the professional software environment. Stuart was a fantastic presenter and passed over the information in a very informative, understandable, pragmatic way without ever losing your interest. Stuart was always available outside of the course for advice and guidance and was particularly helpful to me when I had queries on certain topics. I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in taking up python. Even for people who have a solid background in python, I am sure that there will be a lot they will pick up from this course.
Giles - Software Engineer - Government - December 2022
Outside of the fact I am in the States and it required me to be up very early for 5 days, I don't regret it for a minute. The course was outstanding. The instructor could not have been better. I have been in IT for 44 years, have taught courses myself, taken many, and believe this was the best course I have ever taken. The material was spot on and all relevant. The labs were perfect and just the right amount. I could not be happier with the knowledge gained and hope I can attend the advanced course in the near future. Thank you again!
John - DBA - Automotive - December 2022
Great course and instructor, very informative and thorough. I was able to follow along easily and learn a lot for advancing my career.
Joseph - IS Specialist : DBA - Academic - December 2022
I have had John before for my Oracle SQL Fundamentals and Advanced training and he is an absolutely brilliant trainer. Very knowledgeable on all of the flavours of SQL and patient and shows us many ways to do things. I was so glad when I saw him when I joined this course. A great asset to your company. Always a pleasure to use StayAead. Great communication, great documentation and guides and come away feeling really enthusiastic about the subject. Would definitely recommend. I will be coming back for more!
Maria - Senior Application Support Analyst - Housing Association / Managed - December 2022
Course written very well. A mixed of different approaches to teaching. I am very glad that I attended this course as a lot have been learned and these skills will be used from tomorrow :) Trainer very approachable, professional and would recommend this to anyone who need to develop their skills.
Salma - Oracle Developer - Utilities - December 2022
Kevin was excellent. He explained information in a very clear and concise manner building upon what had gone before and resulting in my being able to gain a solid grasp of the concepts being taught. He was very patient and happy to address off the cuff questions with meaningful answers. This course has done a great job of solidifying my understanding of Python fundamentals that I now feel confident applying in a real world situation.

It was amazing as usual.
Okoye - Software Engineer - Government - November 2022

Bhavin - IT Dev Ops Engineer - Manufacturing - September 2022
John is an excellent trainer. He has a humble personality. Nice balance of theory and practice. John has full grip and in depth knowledge about this course. He did his best to transfer his knowledge to his class.
Hafiz - Head of Information Technology - Government - September 2022
I had my doubts before the course began in regards to it being virtual and if it would be as good as face to face in a classroom but I was very impressed by John's delivery and the facilities provided by yourselves. John was very helpful throughout and very easy to get on with which I think is very important due to the training being remote.
Ismail - Finance - September 2022
The training course was really good, with a small knowledge of html and css, Alan went at a perfect pace, for me to gain more knowledge. Really enjoyed the course, it was very thorough and Alan could always answer my questions :)
Kerrie - Digital Communications Officer - Housing Association / Managed - September 2022
Brian was an excellent instructor, it was clear that he had an exceptional knowledge of both the history and the workings of the C# language and OO coding in general and was able to provide many useful practical examples to reinforce the concepts he was explaining. I am eager to attend a more advanced course in this language provided by Brian in the future when one becomes available.

Brilliant course for beginning my SQL training, helpful and easy to understand.
Daniel - Commercial Officer - Utilities - August 2022

David - Programmer/Analyst - Academic - August 2022
Well paced teaching with great exercises, documentation and resources to consolidate learning
John - Finance - August 2022

Keiron - Software developer - IT - August 2022
Very happy with the course. Gave me a good overview of the main basics of java. It should give me enough of a foundation to be able to begin working in Java in a professional manner and build on what I have learnt over the past week. Kevin was friendly and as helpful as I found him on a previous course that he taught me. Overall I am very happy with this course.
Luke - CIM Engineer - Manufacturing - August 2022
Stuart was a fantastic teacher, taking me from close to 0 to feeling confident enough to build a whole web app with Angular. Perfectly paced course, 5 stars!
Mark - Finance - August 2022
I'm autistic, which means that full-time courses can be overwhelming and stressful if done poorly. I found this to be perfectly paced, and Stuart's approach - of coding along with us in real time - was by far the best I've come across in any software training course.
Nick - Application Developer - Finance - August 2022
Stuart has been a very helpful and insightful lecturer, who has helped cover topics above and beyond the initial course outline, offering extra assistance when needed. I highly recommend this course to other people.

Adriano - IT - July 2022
Alan is really knowledgeable with regard to HTML and CSS. I found his instruction to be really in-depth and his pacing was really good. His method of teaching focused on the practical side of things, so we were coding along, rather than just reading through the handbook. Alan encouraged us to ask questions if we were stuck and he explained things in a clear and simple way. (…)

Would definitely recommend this course to others who want to learn more about JavaScript.
Peter - Web Developer - Academic - June 2022
The pace was good. There was a brief introduction (a few hours in the morning) to get everyone up to speed, which was about right and meant we could progress quickly to the main part of the course. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions and participate, but importantly we were not pressured to do so. I also liked that the last few hours of the course provided an overview of more advanced features, which gave us an idea of what we could look into after completing the course.
Adam - Government - May 2022
Very good course, John was very helpful and approachable. All learning outcomes successfully achieved, which has given me greater confidence and knowledge within this particular subject.

Sarah - Financial service clerk - Gen Pub & C/O - April 2022
This has been a very useful course, which I will now be able to utilise within my job role. The subject area is quite expansive, but the documentation, environment and labs were set up well to convey the complex content. John has an extensive knowledge of the subject matter, and also the more advanced topics were explained well. Having only dabbled with APEX myself, this has been a very illuminating and useful course.

Very good course and excellent value, Marian was able to adapt the material to our specific needs, it worked well technically despite being run remotely, and we were grateful for the opportunity to have a trial run beforehand. I feel this has been a very useful refresher for me and was extremely useful for our two oracle specialists as they had the opportunity to run through practical scenarios directly applicable to our circumstances. We would definitely request Marian in the future as our trainer.

A brilliant course - thanks Stuart. I've spent hours struggling with async and await, and you've given me a really clear understanding of how it works. One thing that may help is if you push the code to the shared drive more frequently, or updated in real time. I found coding along with you really helpful and enjoyable, but sometimes I didn't have chance to copy everything before you moved to a different file.

Musie was very articulate knew his subject well, you got the feeling he really cared about you wanting to learn, he kept asking questions to make sure we understand what we are learning, he was passionate about coding and very sincere in his approach, overall a good teacher, only negative I would say is sometimes the explanations were too long but overall top marks.

With regards to the course, it was an excellent "Jumpstart" in to the world of AIX for the Solaris/Linux Administrator. The course was well paced and the subjects covered were perfect for those moving in to the world of AIX Administration for established systems. The instructor, Mark Holloway, was excellent, very knowledgeable, helpful and willing to explore the subjects to a pace suited to your abilities. I could not of wished for a better instructor.

Edmund - Delivery Lead - June 2021
Stuart is a fantastic teacher. He first laid the groundwork and then built on this throughout the course. By the end, we were able to create secure, functioning APIs in SpringBoot.

Stuart has an excellent teaching style. Managing to get through a large amount of material without it ever feeling overwhelming or stressful.

Ray - Lead Developer - Academic - February 2021
Second time I've had a course run by Kevin and to be honest I cant fault them. He always goes into depth and doesn't mind explaining a problem in detail. He accommodates for everything you may need and gets across as much detail as possible in a way in which you can understand it and take it in. Cant recommend him enough!

Thought it was a really good, informative course, I had a fairly basic knowledge of databases and it filled in many gaps plus gave me a lot if information to get more comfortable working with and using the information and tips provided.
Matthew - January 2021
Fantastic course - thorough, well explained and insightful into not just the practices of programming, but the "Why" of programming; the mechanics of how it works. Good explanation throughout, with good side-tangents of knowledge about the different languages and why they differ. Enjoyed immensely, and was incredibly useful.
Patrick - Software Test Apprentice - January 2021
The trainer was amazing, he was in depth with his explanations and showed confidence with what he said as well as showing he had a lot of experience. He made sure everyone was involved and knew what was going on and stopped for possible questions. Overall the course was really enjoyable and I'm happy with the structure and delivery. Personally I now feel like I can import python into my job role more than I had before with even more confidence!

Peter - Support Analysis - December 2020
Alan was an amazing teacher, he used as much relevant information as he possibly could. He was down to earth and fitted everything around my needs.

Joao - November 2020
Excellent presentation and patience
Karen - Management Accountant - November 2020
Very good course. I already had a good understanding of the topics covered in the first 2 days but it was good to go over and revisit it.

Asif - Networks & Security Infrastructure Analy - Housing Association / Managed - October 2020
Mark was very knowledgeable and although the course was taught at a fair pace he made sure we all understood the logic of the various sections before moving on. This was my first experience of taking a course remotely and the differences between this and classroom learning were not as great as I'd feared. All in all a useful course, and well taught and administered.
Chris - Applications Support Analyst - Logistics - October 2020
The Ed Sheeran analogy completely changed how I view reactive programming. WOW!

Craig - Senior Software Engineer - October 2020
Another great course, massively improved my knowledge on React from this.
Edward - Software Developer - October 2020
Well done given the ongoing covid-19 situation. Surprised at how few technical challenges it was compared to what is normal these days.

Siv Elisabeth - Analytics Consultant - October 2020
The course was excellent and paced well. As a student who is completely new to ruby and rails my only request would be a more gradual approach to the rails section similar to what was done during the ruby section.
Adam - September 2020
Excellent course and delivery. Well placed with an appropriate level of detail for the mix of experience amongst delegates. Learned a lot and now understand far better why I have been writing some of the JS I have, and more importantly how to do it better next time.

Sondre - Analytics Consultant - September 2020
Overall a very good course. Learned a lot in 3 days. Trainer was great at explaining the content. I felt the case study could have started off better by getting us started on the right path i.e. project structure etc. However as the course went on going back and updating the case study was brilliant and very engaging.
Alexander - SDET - August 2020
Excellent course provided by Stuart, with a friendly and enthusiastic approach. Very informative with Stuart providing excellent information on the topics and able to go into more detail when asked. Already had a lot of experience of JavaScript but this has further improved my knowledge.
Craig - Senior Software Engineer - August 2020
The trainer went at a very good pace and kept asking questions to keep people engaged. The trainer was enthusiastic throughout despite the relative difficulty of the class being online. I'd recommend this course for anyone who wants to get a basic understanding of SQL.
David - Analyst - August 2020
Our trainer, Brian, was very knowledgeable and made the course as interesting as he could. The training was appropriately paced, and was completed in four days, as the content was made slightly bespoke for our needs. Thank you, I would recommended your course and training to others.

Richard - developer - August 2020
I've had Stuart for two Java courses now. Course material is delivered brilliantly in an interesting way with Stuart being excellent to answer further questions people have on the course material.

Samuel - August 2020
Stuart was an excellent trainer for this program. He adapted the course to suit attendants and covered things beyond the scope of the course where asked and in a detailed manner. Couldn't have asked for more from him! Would definitely recommend this course and trainer.
Ben - Software Development Engineer in Test - July 2020
Stuart, as with the Java 1 course, was excellent. Pace was perfect and he explained everything in a clear manner. Feedback on exercises was also really useful!
Ben - Software Development Engineer in Test - July 2020
Great course well delivered. Stuart had a very good practical hands on style to training. In a very short time we went through the basics of Java programming into several quite detailed scenarios. Clearly had a deep background knowledge and kept us all engaged over many days of training, which is not easy.
David - Finance - July 2020
The pace of the course was great. Even when it was clear that we might finish the set course material early the instructor did not try and drag it out at a pace that would not have matched the group. Instead, we were asked for areas of interest we might like to go over at the end if the pace continued, this was very helpful
Dearbhla - Software Engineer - July 2020
Excellent course, helped consolidate and refresh my knowledge of Javascript and learned new things too.
Emma - July 2020
Alan is an excellent trainer, patient, well informed, and concise. Time was managed very well and Alan took the time to review everybody's code with individual help where needed. I'm looking forward to the javascript 2 course.
Gareth - Applications Support 3rd line - July 2020
Very informative course taught by an excellent and experienced instructor.
Harry - Trainee Software Developer - July 2020
Thoroughly enjoyed the JAVA 1 training. Stuart presented and explained java concepts to a very high standard and made this course very beneficial. the style was excellent no powerpoints were used which is a huge positive as i believe learning code from an IDE and following code in this manner results in a better way of learning and understanding. Thank you for the successful training course highly recommend.
James - MSC Software Engineer - July 2020
Course duration was shortened from 9 days to 6 due so the pace was faster which made it slightly harder to keep up and understand however, Stuart was an excellent teacher, extremely thorough with his explanations and really tried to paint the entire picture so you could appreciate what the code was doing, he was also always available via email for further help. He was very friendly and told some great story's/jokes along the way which made the course even better. I really enjoyed my time on the course and just wish it was longer.
Joe - Apprentice Junior software developer - July 2020
Excellent instructor and was able to explain clearly while pacing the content perfectly. Great job.
Kadmin - July 2020
Kevin is a great instructor and his teaching style was really good with appropriate use of examples. Was definitely a great experience.

Nathan - IT Developer - July 2020
I thoroughly enjoyed Stuart's teaching style and personality. He demonstrated concepts with simple practical examples which helped me a lot. I personally benefited from the hands on element because I got an insight into how Java devs use tooling such as Eclipse. I have really go a lot from Stuart's teaching. I found the Spring Course was a bit too fast for me, but that was because Stuart had been asked by BGL to condense a four day course into two days.
Nick - Snr Developer (non-Java/Spring) - Finance - July 2020
Would like to say a huge thank you to Stuart. Very well delivered, the concepts and understandings were covered well and were explained with a clear and thorough understanding of the course material. Feedback was always given and was very thorough. Thanks!

John - SAP Basis Analyst - June 2020
John is a great instructor who tailored the course well to meet our requirements
Jon - SAP systems Analyst - June 2020
Thank you Stuart, it was a really well-delivered course. Some of it was a bit above my level, but I'm not a full-time programmer, so I expected that! I learnt enough to help me understand more about what's possible with Java, and how it can be used. I really liked your training style, and it worked great over Zoom. Will definitely use Stayahead in the future.

Overall, the instructor did an excellent job, he tailored the course for the majority of the class. I would personally like to thank the instructor, John L, he was brilliant and very helpful. He was knowledgeable and explained the concepts really well.

I would have preferred classroom based training, however under the circumstances a very well structured and delivered course.
Steve - Smart Meter Network Engineer - Communications - April 2020
Brilliant lecturer! He is very easy to talk to and ask for help if stuck on something, very helpful considering this was done online remotely. This course started at a good point and explained things without taking forever or sounding like gibberish as often is the issue with coding.

Rahat - Database Engineer - Academic - February 2020

Raymond - Database Administrator - Finance - February 2020
The large amount of time dedicated to installation and configuration was really beneficial as I am new to Postgres and didn't want to miss out on any important features, particularly in relation to web app security surrounding users. Any questions I had were answered by the instructor in full giving me a good idea on how to apply the course material to my own environment at work. I am going to recommend Stay Ahead MySQL training for other developers in my team as they have had MySQL courses cancelled by … (other supplier) twice now and the quality of the courses are equally as comprehensive at Stay Ahead.
Steven - Defence - February 2020
Trainer was very helpful and took the time to fully explain any queries or issues I had.
Aaron - IT - January 2020

Daryl - System Specialist - Communications - January 2020
This is one of the best courses I have been on so far. The instructor was very patient and knew the content well and didn't put any pressure for the work to be done. There wasn't a hurry and we covered a lot of material in a practical and memorable way however there was too much content to cover in the amount of time we had.
Haider - Research - January 2020

Joe - SRE - Broadcasting/TV/Film/Music - December 2019
The course far exceeded my expectations, the level of content was perfectly targeted for someone like myself who has experience in Python, but is self taught. The subjects were covered thoroughly and I learnt so many new techniques, with the exercises being particularly useful for constantly testing the knowledge I had gained during the course. From the basic data types to more complex regular expressions, the trainer thoroughly explained the principles and made everything very clear and easy to understand, as well as explaining any problems I had and working through them. He made the course extremely enjoyable and was clearly extremely well versed in the language.
Josh - Test Engineer - Transport - December 2019
Trainer was exceptionally knowledgeable and was more than happy to run through exercises on a one-to-one basis if we encountered any difficulties. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend.
Robyn - Government - December 2019
Easily the best course I have ever been on. Instructor's command of the topic was evident and he delivered it all with great energy and subtle humour. He also had an ability to leave people just enough time to get through the practical work, whilst at the same time, making sure that people were not struggling, and that they could all keep up. Thanks again!

Toheeb - Database Administrator - Leisure - December 2019
Thoroughly enjoyed this course. Very helpful and extremely informative and very relevant to my work. The five day course was hugely beneficial and I am glad I completed the 3 day and 2 day course consecutively. The workshops broke the chapters up perfectly.
Amy - Utilities - November 2019
Very useful course explaining new features for use within Oracle PL/SQL for Interfaces, programming standards and large data volumes. The sections exploring many techniques for Pl/SQL performance tuning, profiling, tracing, best practices and code analysis will be very useful in my role in support to assist trouble-shooting performance issues in our PL/SQL code and processes used in the Production systems. new techniques for development were also discussed. The instruction was good and with practice where required and plenty of discussion for the real world application. Would recommend this course for Advanced Pl/SQL developers.

Mitch - DevOps Engineer - November 2019

Adam - System Administrator - Defence - October 2019
Kevin was nice and patient. Happy to explain concepts in different ways to allow understanding.

I was fortunate enough to have a 1-to-1 course taught by an instructor which was a brilliant source of knowledge and training and had in-depth knowledge on all aspects of the course, even on some questions outside of the course structure. I was able to ask questions based on my own day-to-day work and applying the course content to my typical work day. No question was left unanswered!

Our instructor is very "excellent" in teaching the subject matter. I am new to the information, but, was able to follow along and grasp a clear understanding of the topic.

Fantastic trainer. The class was a mix of technical and non-technical analysts and everyone fully understood each and every part of the training - even though some sections were slightly harder than others.

Dee - April 2019
Due to business reasons it came to light that I would have to learn SQL Oracle. I came onto this course with no idea how SQL or Oracle worked and I am coming away with a vast knowledge on both. I am more than pleased with how this course went. I have been provided with documents that I can take away with me to continue studying at home. My trainer has an amazing knowledge of both Oracle and SQL and made me feel very comfortable in the classroom. I would highly recommend this course to both a beginner and someone who already has experience with SQL.

Peter - Transport - April 2019
I felt I was comfortable working in REACT before I started this course, however, I learned a hell of a lot and it was a welcome level of toughness that kept me thinking the whole time.

Excellent SQL fundamentals course. Rounded out the experience I had gained in house on certain aspects of SQL to provide a firm foundation for my future development.

lots of information covered will be beneficial for us back in the office improving the efficiency of our current sql scripts and alter the way we create new queries going forward
Steven - Analyst - Government - October 2018
Really good course. Wish I had booked for the database part of the course as I felt like I really learnt a lot in PHP.

The trainer went above and beyond to make the course as applicable and accessible as possible.

Dominic - JUNIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPER - Manufacturing - September 2018
The course is great for the basics of concepts. understood all the concepts and tried them in the starter project. Now while implementing these further, can refer to documentation for real code.
Gurvinder - Tech Lead - IT - September 2018
I thoroughly enjoy the Advanced SQL course and learnt a lot in the duration. The most interesting parts was learning about Oracle + REGEX and how we can use that to identify patterns. I will now incorporate that with my day to day usage. The trainer provided clear examples and explained sections very well, where we did not understand he would clarify further.
James - Insurance - September 2018
Despite last minute issues, Stayahead managed to deliver course online. Much appreciated. Course was very relevant and the trainer gave good examples of circumstances where applications processes could be applied.
Jamie - Finance Systems and Operations Manager - Government - September 2018
Very good course overall. I now have further understanding about the course and feel more comfortable using the UNIX System. A big thanks to the trainer - very friendly character and a very good teacher. Would highly recommend.

Knowledgeable, interesting instruction from the trainer. Course was well-paced and adapted to the current level of knowledge of the class.
Linda - Defence - September 2018
Mark - Senior Data Analyst - Finance - September 2018
Great course material and the tutor was not only very knowledgeable, but also very willing to share his own experience and go the extra mile to ask about our own daily duties to try and tailor scenarios to help us more. Can't wait to progress through to more advanced courses.
Mitch - System Analyst - Postal/Distribution - September 2018
I thought this course was very useful. It showed me what is possible in SQL using techniques I did not know about beforehand. I feel better prepared to write SQL in the future.

It was a wonderful experience, I would definitely recommend taking this course for everyone. The instructor was lovely and helpful. I learned a lot in a very short time. Thank you

Excellent course. Instructor was very knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. Course material and lab exercises were perfect for a week introductory course.
Drew - Government - August 2018
The instructor was really informative with his teaching and the use of practical learning was very useful and was something that helped me learn much more about angular. He was very understanding of where everyone was in terms of knowledge and this helped us gain more knowledge on Angular.
George - Finance - August 2018
The pace of the course was absolutely perfect. The trainer ran through the documentation and presented the questions, examples and answers perfectly. What he does not know about Red Hat Linux isn't worth knowing. I must admit this is the first time I have been on an instructor led course in a long time and found it invaluable. So that I can now put what I have learned into practise. Also being an virtual participant it allowed me to have the course presentation on one screen, the instructions on another and then my VNC / Telnet sessions, and my own notes on another. Thanks
Jason - Wintel Project Engineer - August 2018
Perfect pace for the course, I was lucky enough to be in a small class which meant I could ask all the questions that I liked and we went into further detail where required, or just because it was interesting! I will want to do a follow on course - even more so now that I've had the positive experience.
Jennifer - Operational Performance Manager - Finance - August 2018
The course in general was well organised and the material provided was very good. The trainer was really helpful and explained the course all throughout with the same enthusiasm as the first day. He really took a interest in our background and gave us hints and tips on how could we implement things in our company code.
Jini - Software Programmer - August 2018
The trainer managed to fit a lot of content in a short time with useful, practical examples that grew throughout the two days into a genuinely useful resource to consolidate the knowledge back in the office. A highly recommended course.
Lloyd - Sharepoint Solution Specialist - Charity - August 2018
Great training course, and an excellent lecturer. The course was well structured, and well paced. The documentation was well written, structured and explain in good detail the theory and the steps behind the commands. I feel as if I expanded and basic and advanced features of SQL throughout this course, and it helped solidify my understanding, knowledge and confidence in the language. I would be happy to recommend this course.
Muraz - Postal/Distribution - August 2018
An excellent very well taught course. I found the structure and the balance between presenting and practical work to be just right and I believe I have learnt more from the course than I thought I would at the beginning. I believe that doing practical exercises on the course are most important to testing whether you understand what has been presented.
Phil - Database Developer - Environmental - August 2018
Very good introductory course to Linux. I came with little knowledge of Linux and now feel a lot comfortable and at home when using this OS. Excellent learning facility.
Solomon - Software Contractor - Manufacturing - August 2018
Fantastic RedHat training. I have fully achieved the objective of the course and also very happy with the entire training. The instructor is one of the best I have come across. His knowledge of the subject is amazing and he was able to address all the queries in no time. I would strongly recommend him to other students and work colleagues.
Vishal - IT Technical Specialist - IT - August 2018
The course was comprehensive anyway but the instructor made an effort to add extra detail as he was presenting.
Andrew - Oracle DBA - Oil - July 2018

The pace and depth of the instruction was adjusted to match the ability levels of those present, information was clearly conveyed, our instructor was very approachable and knowledgeable to the extent he was willing and able to answer any questions asked even when they were not directly related to the course objectives. Very impressed, thanks!!!
David - Unix Administrator - July 2018
An excellent course that covers a lot in a week. It reaffirmed some stuff I thought I knew, which is great, but also taught me lots I didn't know. I feel a lot more confident with the stuff this course covers than I did a week ago! Excellent instructor who keeps the subject from becoming dry and boring. Well recommended as your first steps to getting into Java.
Gavin - Software Test Engineer - Insurance - July 2018
Very good introduction to Spring for beginners and those who have some practical experience. Very good practical tips for all the topics covered.
Louis - Software Engineer - Finance - July 2018
Joined this course with no prior experience but a few trials on code academy. The trainer made the class fun and easy to follow. It is a lot of information to take in but it doesn't take long to get comfortable with. As the trainer said, the key is to practice, and this I intend on doing! Thank you very much!

Very knowledgeable instructor, well paced course. Good facilities, great location.
Simon - Business Systems and Projects Team Leade - Government - July 2018

Simon - VLE Developer - Academic - July 2018

Jonathan - Technical Analyst - Finance - June 2018
Great Instructor. Clear, patient, and really helpful.
Kein-Wai - Analyst Developer - Communications - June 2018
I compared courses in Belgium to the one offered by StayAhead, and SA definitely had my preference. I really liked the flexibility of the lecturer concerning extra exercises that had a bit more challenge to them than written down in the course itself.
Nicola - Software Developer - Postal/Distribution - June 2018
Python Trainings (1&2) were excellent and content was explained very well. OOP concept and embedding them in the workshops adds value. Instructors were extremely accommodative and took the time to explain very well.

As before all staff I had interaction with were very helpful, friendly and professional and very informative regarding the local area. Many thanks yet again.
Pauline - IT Manager - Manufacturing - May 2018
I thought this course was great. Learnt a lot, but also helped me to solidify concepts I had in my head already. Have already recommended it to a colleague. Trainer's instruction was excellent.
Will - Oil - May 2018
The trainer knows the material in depth and explains it in a clear manner making it easy to understand/follow. The course has helped me clear up a number of grey areas and I come away knowing a lot more then when I arrived…

Very good course, comprehensive and well structured. Well taught - the trainer obviously is very well versed in all content. Thanks Joe
Joe - IT - April 2018
Excellent course and very well presented. Lecturer was extremely helpful and because the course was one to one very good at presenting examples relevant to my current workplace environment. All content was covered fully and areas of interest were expanded on. Lots of very helpful tips an tricks picked up and I look to applying these when I return to my workplace. I look forward to part two. Receptionist was lovely - very helpful on first day and greeted me every day in a professional and courteous manner - excellent first impression of the company. All staff I met were lovely and lunch vouchers were great idea. Thanks for a great week and see you all soon.
Pauline - IT Manager - Manufacturing - April 2018
I very much enjoyed the course. The course content was spot on and delivered in a very effective manner by the instructor. The pace was good (not too fast) and meant that there was sufficient time to discuss (with other delegates and the instructor) how some of the new features could be used in practice.
Ryan - DBA - Academic - April 2018
I thought this was a really well placed course and the instructor was excellent.
Will - Developer - Government - April 2018
The trainer was very clear and thorough when going through each aspect of the course. He was with a group that had little to no experience with Linux and made us all feel at ease and didn't mind when we asked him 100 questions!
Charlie - Communications - March 2018
Really worth while experience and has helped build on my Oracle DBA knowledge.

Very good trainer, he explains everything clearly and the combination of his slides, worked examples and the handbook work really well together.
Jenny - Digital Archivist - Government - March 2018
The material was well delivered and the instructor cross referenced between the various SQL platforms. Made a big difference towards my understanding of how to effectively manage data and queries to deliver more accurate reports.
Keith - Service Delivery Manager - Government - March 2018
I enjoyed my training with StayAhead. The training centre was easy to find and reach. Very close to a bus stop and underground station. The course content was up to date and had enough workshop materials for practice. The instructors were highly experienced with loads of practical and relevant knowledge. They were very open minded and had great answers to all the questions that I brought with me. Class size was small enough for the instructor to have time and attention for trainee. StayAhead is a place I would choose over and over again.
Medford - System Administrator - Postal/Distribution - March 2018
An excellent teacher and extremely knowledgeable, approachable and adaptive.
Michael - Web and App Analyst - Marketing - March 2018
Very informative course. Covered a lot of ground in the time given. Good basis to further develop upon. I look forward to further follow up training in due course. Instructor was very engaging and knowledgeable.

Simone - Programme Support Officer - NHS - March 2018
Thank you, the course was brilliant. All questions answered, a lot of practical exercises and really good attention to details. I enjoyed it very much.

Great course. Great and bubbly staff! I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanted to know more about HP-UX or just computer systems in general. Thank you!
Alan - Senior Bathymetric Scientist - Environmental - February 2018
Technical course content was excellent and just what I required regards procedures, functions and packages, so the exercises were very useful and learning the syntax and formats and commands. Plenty of time was allocated for practical exercises and writing code which I would encourage on future courses. The theory was much needed also and improved my understanding of PL/SQL I have already seen in daily tasks. The trainer was very knowledgeable and took time to explain sections as required and answers to any questions. The folder will be very beneficial in practicing back at work to consolidate these Oracle skills.
Andrew - Application Support Manager - Postal/Distribution - February 2018
Definitely recommend this to any colleagues starting out on Data Analysis.
Dan - DATA ANALYST - Utilities - February 2018
Excellent trainer. Kept a steady pace and went over anything people was unsure of.

The trainer was very knowledgeable on Tomcat, I feel I have got a great foundation to start administration work on this platform. I cannot wait to put what I have learned into practice.
David - Technical Analyst - Retail / Hire - January 2018
A fantastic course which has opened my eyes to world of SQL. I came here as a complete novice to the subject but feel that I can now go and implement what I've learnt into practice.
David - Email Marketing Manager - Retail / Hire - January 2018
Excellent Lecturer, very steady pace with excellent explanations. Without this course It would have taken months to be at the same level after 5 days.
James - Senior Field Engineer - IT - January 2018
I found the initial part of the course a good way of consolidating what I already knew and I learnt some useful functions that I didn't realise were available to me. The last couple of days on the course has been completely new content for me which I thoroughly enjoyed learning. I can't wait to start using these new skills in my day to day work. Thanks to the trainer for making the course so enjoyable and also going out of his way to find out more advanced bits like 'connect by prior'. I would recommend this course to those that have a brief understanding of SQL but want to get more confident in applying it.
Katie - Senior Business Intelligence Analyst - Academic - January 2018
I've really enjoyed the course, it has had me interested from the start to finish and has improved my knowledge in a lot of areas regarding Oracle. I now feel a lot more confident and I am looking forward to putting the training/knowledge into action.
Mark - Manufacturing - January 2018
I really enjoyed the course. I became very familiar with SUSE as the week progress. The trainer was perhaps the most knowledgeable instructor of any course I have taken. There was not one question that his response was I don't know. When ever we needed help, he resolved quickly, sometimes without even having to look at the screen. As opposed to personality, he made is very easy to take this course, he was fun, quick witted, and easy to talk with. By far my favourite instructor.
Marlon - Environmental - January 2018
Lots learned from the course as I came here with very limited Linux knowledge, the pace and content were fantastic and I will be taking this new knowledge away with me and implementing as required in the work environment. Fantastic tutor that makes you feel at ease with the subject.

Fantastic level of documentation and the lecturers have great in depth knowledge of the subjects.
Jamie - Database Developer - IT - December 2017
I thought the trainer delivered the course in sizeable chunks so delegates did not feel overwhelmed. The course literature is very handy to be able to take away and put into practice back in the office. Would recommend StayAhead to anyone looking for IT training courses.
Jenny - Service Desk Analyst - Housing Association / Managed - December 2017
That was an excellent course and a very good teacher. I enjoyed the whole content explained by the trainer.

Andre - DBA - Police - November 2017
Fantastic course, brilliant teacher. Cannot fault anything. Thank you
Callum - IT - November 2017
This course was really interesting and challenging - especially since I have no previous experience of using SQL. The instructor was very patient, answered all of my stupid questions and made even the most complex parts straight forward and clear. The training materials were also very helpful and clear - I liked having both the paper and electronic version of the core text to work from as it allowed me to compare answers and questions without flicking between pages. The facilities at the training centre were excellent and the food, coffee and snacks were amazing - really enjoyed the three days!
Carolyne - Service Desk Manager - Government - November 2017
Excellent delivered course with new skills learnt especially related to awk and sed
David - Service Delivery Manager - Manufacturing - November 2017
I was very impressed with the course provided/instructed by StayAhead. The trainer was very knowledgeable on the subject, happy to bend the course to meet the needs of the delegates (both in terms of content and timing) and couldn't have done more to help.
Dean - Full Stack Developer - Insurance - November 2017
This is the second course I have done with StayAhead and I can't recommend it highly enough. The trainer has been completely flexible about the course both in terms of content and timings and has strived to make sure we get the most out of the course to take back to our jobs.
Dean - Insurance - November 2017
Was a good few days of training. Came here with not much knowledge on Linux but am now leaving with a solid understanding that I can take back and apply to my job. The trainer was a good teacher and the course itself was taught at a nice pace.
Elliot - Communications - November 2017
Really enjoyed the course and has given me a basic understanding of SQL and a good foundation to build knowledge on.
Jessica - Lead Pricing Analyst - Insurance - November 2017
Very good introduction to Java and object oriented programming in general. Our group was already familiar with the basics of Java. The trainer did very well to adapt the content of the course to our level, digging deeper into some topics and going beyond the scope of the course at times. He even went as far as creating extra material after hours, to tailor the course to our specific needs. He read the group well and maintained a good pace throughout the course. I especially liked the fact that no PowerPoint presentations were involved. This gave us the opportunity to do a lot of hands on coding, which I think is essential to the learning experience. For me personally, the guided case study could have been a bit less guided, as to make me think a bit harder about the solutions. But I wouldn't necessarily change the case study given it is meant to be an introductory course. Overall I think this was a great course. I learned a lot about the theoretical constructs of Java and have a better insight in the Java code I've already worked on. Excellent instructor, very knowledgeable about the topic, friendly and patient. Couldn't ask for more.
Johan - QA Engineer - IT - November 2017
Excellent instruction. He did a great job at targeting the content toward varying levels of ability.
Jon - SMART Performance and Optimisation Manag - Broadcasting/TV/Film/Music - November 2017
This has been by far the best course I have been on. Well organized, the manual which was sent out is so useful and something I will be using in my role. An excellent teacher and I felt the training was excellent despite the trainer having to lecture a group of people at various stages with their Linux knowledge from beginners to experts this did not affect the way I felt I was personally trained. I would recommend this course. Thanks again.
Katie - IT - November 2017
This is my second Stay Ahead course and as with the last one, I thought this to be excellent. The last course I did was in person, so was concerned the online course might not be as easy to follow; I am pleased to say this was most definitely not the case. The trainer was superb and explained the course contents extremely well. I would thoroughly recommend both the course and the instructor; hopefully I will get the opportunity to do more courses with Stay Ahead in the future.
Mark - Unix Systems Engineer - November 2017
Excellent instructor who kept us interested all week and explained everything clearly. He was very patent and sociable made the course very enjoyable
Mark - November 2017
Great course and content was taught at the right pace to ensure full understanding.
Mark - Defence - November 2017
This was a very well constructed course with a good balance of teaching and practical work. I would highly recommend stayahead.com and the trainer to others. I liked the fact the we had both online notes and hard copy notes as it meant I could flick between screens when writing scripts but I had the option to take notes if necessary.
Mel - Management Information Analyst - Government - November 2017
Great tutor. The pace was just right and lots of time to carry out practical exercises to validate our understanding of the learning's. Would recommend the workshop to anyone who is looking to learn more on SQL.
Nigel - Business Data Analyst - Finance - November 2017
This was a Virtual Course delivered excellently by the trainer. Delivery and pace was excellent. The trainer answered all questions and queries well. An enthusiastic Trainer, manages his audience well. Would definitely attend another course given by him.

Andy - Senior Technical Specialist - IT - October 2017
The course was very good at explaining the fundamental principles and filling the gaps in my knowledge. A very good starting point to JavaScript that has provided the foundations and guiding principles that I was after.
Donald - Digital Manager - Communications - October 2017
Good course, lots of explanation all on subjects and the practical exercises were very rewarding. Excellent trainer.
George - Open System Engineer - Finance - October 2017

Kenneth - Software Engineer - Defence - October 2017
Excellent, well-run course - delivered with enthusiasm by an excellent trainer. Good facilities too.
Mike - Government - October 2017
A very well presented course delivered at an appropriate pace for those attending. The instructors knowledge was excellent and his passionate delivery kept me engaged. The course notes for me are a real winner, as I only have occasional use of Unix at work I am sure I will forget much of this week before I am due to use it again, but the way in which the course notes are presented is both logical and functional and I am sure I will use these many times in the future.
Neal - Defence - October 2017
Went from a position of zero knowledge to comfortable familiarity by the end of the course.
Patrick - DBA - IT - October 2017
By far one of the best trainers I have had the please to be taught by. Delivery and pace was excellent and all questions were answered fully in an way which was easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this course and trainer to my colleagues.

Carlos - Deployment Lead - Finance - September 2017
Absolutely brilliant, the SQL training was very comprehensive, the instructor very friendly and all the questions were answered(clearly knows what he is talking about), I am walking out with knowledge I can directly apply to my work process.
Guillaume - Web & app analyst and optimisation manag - Retail / Hire - September 2017
The course was extremely helpful as it met all of my needs. Before I started this course, I had no knowledge of what Linux is or does at all. Now I can take my new findings and knowledge of the OS and apply it to my day-to-day objectives to provide support for my customers and most importantly improve the service I provide. Very knowledgeable instructor who has made me feel extremely comfortable despite having initial nerves before as I was not sure if I would be able to understand such a complex OS in such a short amount of time (one day). I will definitely recommend this course to a few of my colleagues when I return to work.
Joe - ITAM Analyst - IT - September 2017
The trainer was extremely helpful, very pleasant atmosphere and an overall positive experience.

Stephen - IT Technical Team Manager - NHS - October 2014
Our instructor was very knowledgeable and provided lots of extra information. She covered all the material we were provided with, we did more hands-on practice than I initially thought would be involved in this course which was a definite plus for me and a real benefit for my day-to-day job and also comparing that to a few years ago when I had training by Oracle on an earlier version of Oracle where there was minimum hands-on practice. The other benefit apart from the really comprehensive material that was provided and covered during the course of this week was the little tricks that Oracle would probably never reveal regarding licenses, what can and can't actually be used and how to find out.
Vasiliki - Sr Technology Consultant - IT - October 2014
Good instruction. Instructor was flexible in what we asked for. Very pleased with course.

Coming from a place of knowing very little SQL (I thought I knew it), and after I've had a chance to work through the exercises again at my own pace,I will be confident enough and able to conduct SQL tasks. Thank you for your time, explanations and patience Kevin.
Cleo - BI Support Analyst - Finance - January 2012

I thought Alan was very good with his adaptive training styles as some of us are less advanced in Oracle DBA work than others attending the course. I had not done any Oracle 10g or previous DBA administration previously, but his simplistic approach to training was great and he was very helpful with questions and answers. Very good training provided, thanks again for his patience.

It feels this was a good starting point for Java, and the general take was very practical as opposed to being theoretical.
