Course Reviews
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.

Great training course, and an excellent lecturer. The course was well structured, and well paced.

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.
