As a master’s graduate in Computer Science specializing in Big Data Analytics, I found that The BI School helped fill in the gaps in my knowledge and skills. Gaining hands-on experience and upskilling can be challenging, especially when juggling a full-time job and family commitments. The BI School addresses this by offering regular catch-ups and ...

The BI school SQL superhero programme was excellent because of the easy to follow videos, real world examples and live tutoring which is also available. If you get stuck, Nick is available to contact straight away and he talks you through the solution. There is nothing like this on YouTube or even on Coursera. You have a personal and hands on tutor in Nick and that is the game changer. I am more confident in my SQL now than I was before and to be honest, I've tackled really complex solutions. Great course.

I was having a hard time getting hands on experience on advanced topics in SQL and I stumbled on The BI School on LinkedIn. I reached out to Nick and started off with the program and I must say within just 2-3 months my skills have greatly improved and I can say my skills in SQL have sky rocketed.. I do not regret the decision to join the BI school and the community of learners are also amazing and supportive. Thank you Nick!

I joined the BI school to advance my SQL skills as someone who works in data. I must say it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Lessons in each module are explained thoroughly and as students we have weekly zoom meetings with Nick where you can address any challenges you’re saying or even talk about your improvements. Doing this really helps with your weekly ...

Nick’s school is exactly the thing I needed- I used to learn from Datacamp and whilst it had its advantages the BI school has so much going for it: 1. Help from industry expert - Nick has weekly sessions to troubleshoot but can meet ad hoc too 2. BUSINESS applications of SQL- often in Datacamp you would learn SQL through databases of films or movies but the databases Nick uses in his program allow for more business insight...

I started my role of Junior Business Intelligence Developer in December 2022 and needed help in improving my SQL skills so joined the BI School course alongside some mentorship whilst on the job. The course has been brilliant in giving me some great knowledge and good tips to improve my skills and Nick as a mentor has been of great help willing to accommodate my queries and challenges at my workplace in a fast efficient way.

Over the last few months I have participated in Nick's SQL Superhero training to build upon my basic understanding of SQL code within my public sector BI role. The course is very well-structured, starting with the basic queries and journeying through to more advanced concepts and functions. My knowledge and understanding of SQL has been greatly enhanced, and I've already been able to apply some of the skills into my analyst role. Nick is readily available to answer any questions, and his lesson challenges are pitched at the right level ...

The course is run with weekly check-ins over Zoom. This is mainly why I chose The BI School as I liked the idea of meeting someone face to face and for me personally it helped me stay on track with the course. After the end of each check in Nick gave me additional challenges to work on, and was always on hand to guide me in the right direction whenever I got stuck. The course probably covered more than enough for my new role, which has made the role a lot easier to settle in to. Without a doubt Nick is a SQL expert and a fantastic mentor...
