Course Reviews
Mark has been great and knowledgeable in his field of SQL. lots of tips and shortcuts where a book cant tell you
Very insightful and as a returnee to using SQL, it is a valuable refresher. Furthermore, I learnt a lot of new things I didn't know before and most importantly why we would do it in certain ways, e.g. subqueries
Great course! Especially loved how Mathew used examples to illustrate both how things work and how they don’t … Show and not tell only. Made everything so much clearer
This training is a great course. I have learned so much from Matthew! I appreciate his patience in explaining complex concepts into small bits of information so that the whole class can grasp the idea. He has also presented real-case scenarios so we can appreciate the application and usage. I only suggest for this course to be a 3-4 day course so that there'll be enough time for hands-on exercises.
