Testimonials
Interaction with the teacher, the opportunity to ask hot questions
Grzegorz Ziegert
I appreciated Folio's wide breadth of knowledge. Not only was he familiar with the course content, but he also knew of constructs in languages we were familiar with to make examples more meaningful to us. During intervals he shared his knowledge of technologies and solutions outside the training scope to provide insights into other solutions we could use in future (and future training).

The ability to ask questions at any time and the more informal / less structured style. This allowed us to pursue the areas of knowledge we were most interested in.

Relevance to BigQuery.

We use BigQuery and the trainer decided we would use BigQuery instead to run all of the codes which was really really useful

Interactive exercises
Matthew Viner - Thames Water Utilites Ltd
It felt very relatable. The exercises were well picked out and I was able to work well with it due to clear knowledge provided.
Leah Bayliss - Thames Water Utilites Ltd
Phil was great! He was both patient and knowledgeable. The training went at a good pace, moving a team of mixed SQL abilities through the basics into more advanced SQL querying together. The exercises were an excellent way for us to commit our newly learned skills to memory, and Phil's instructions/class discussions on numerous ways to achieve the same thing were interesting.
