"It was a busy three days, but we knew that before we booked. The trainer was superb, clearly instructing us with no repetition or waffle. The online aspect worked very well indeed, I'm sure the trainers must appreciate being able to see each attendees screen. A good email discussion with Wise Owl helped guide us to choose this course."
Kenton Reader
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was taught very well with useful information on key topics and some excellent exercises to actually put the skills into practice. The trainer was highly knowledgeable and went at a good speed, to ensure everything was clearly explained. Others in my organisation had attended the course and found it useful and taught well. Many thanks."

"A fantastic tutor who made the subject really interesting and talked in depth about each process. I felt I learnt quite a lot during the course."
Daniel Milne
Durham County Council
"Fantastic tailored Power BI training. Our trainer was brilliant, knowledgeable and was very patient with us and so supportive of our different levels of knowledge. This course was tailored for a small group of users with mixed Power BI knowledge and WiseOwl were able to accommodate our needs, with no problem at all. Session was received really well and wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
Karen Allen
Halton Borough Council
"Excellent trainer and pace of days. He made you feel relaxed and explained the course content in a easy to understand manner."
Becky Hayes
APSE Manchester
"Very comprehensive training course without being so much that it became overwhelming. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful trainer who communicated and explained the content effectively. I also think the course manual and exercises provided are excellent and I am sure will be really useful resources post-training."
David Caldwell
Cheshire East Council
"Course was great - trainer was very knowledgeable/flexible and happy to talk about related subjects/put things in a context that suited our needs. Have used twice before and course material always met our needs/exceeded expectations."
Luke Ferrans
Southampton City Council
"Thought the course was excellent. All the resources were very good e.g. the handout, pen drive with all the examples. Course content was all relevant. Was a very quick pace but I found that good. Our trainer was great too."
Rachel Taylor
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"To be honest, I received the manual(s) and my first thought was 3 days of training with this amount of content and all online - what a nightmare! I'm a software systems trainer myself and know first hand how tech can fail or lag and it's like trying to herd cats keeping your audience engaged and ensuring everyone is on track. We had a first class trainer, extremely knowledgeable and relatable. He kept the training on track and managed to keep everyone engaged. The frequent breaks definitely helped to maintain concentration and the interactive examples helped to bring the theory to life. The fact that he could also see all of our screens added an extra level of cohesion, something that I have (enviably) never seen before. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wise Owl for any future training needs. "
Sandra Hopwood

"As always, Wise Owl delivered a fantastic course. Straightforward to follow and came away feeling like I've learnt a lot. The paper guide is always appreciated too as it's easier to reference."
Gary Brittain
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Perfectly paced course and our trainer made it so easy to follow and if someone struggled he didn't call them out on it, but helped by making suggestions. Perfect way to do it. The course material is very useful and it's good to have."
Vanella Mead
Southampton City Council
"Enjoyed the course and learned a lot about Power BI, which I will be putting to use. I have been on Wise Owl courses before and always found them to be good."
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Very useful and informative course which has given me greater knowledge on how to write DAX and use other advanced functions in Power BI. Our tutor was a great trainer who had an excellent way of describing complex issues so they could be easily understood. I also enjoyed the training style which meant that we were always engaged in the course and didn't have too many periods, where we were just watching someone show us how to do something. Many thanks."
Paul White
Southampton City Council
"I really enjoyed the course and it will have a significant impact for my service. The course was really well paced so that everyone could keep up regardless of their experience. I find that Wise Owl have a really brilliant ethos. They treat you as an individual and try to understand the training need rather than just throwing out a generic course. They are always happy to adjust their approach to suit the need unlike other maybe larger providers. This makes the training more effective and impactful. It is also much better value for money!"
Tom Dowler

"The trainer made the session fun and engaging."
Daniel Milne

"The trainer was excellent, very patient and accommodating."
Katie Sykes

"The trainer was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. The energy was kept high and friendly. I have attended a previous Wise Owl SSIS course and have referred back to the notes many times. Great content!"
Gary Stroud

"The trainer kept me interested the whole time and had her way of explaining things I wasn't quite sure of. Excellent teacher. I have always struggled with formulas so I wanted to get some more experience."
Sara Rowland

"It was great to know that our trainer could see what we were doing remotely and track with us. A positive experience of an on-line training course. Thank you."
