Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology - computer training references

We don't have yet any testimonials for the PHARMACEUTICALS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY sector - below is a listing of some testimonials we have received recently from people working for companies in other sectors.

We are grateful to all of the people listed below for giving us permission to publish their feedback on our web site.

We employed the training services of Wise Owl to add a VB for Access skillset to our database developers. Three of us undertook the course, we found it to be extremely well put together, tailored to our skill levels, informative and fun. It was also a very convenient training location and very reasonably priced. The course documentation provided was also excellent. I would certainly say that it was a "wise move" to use Wise Owl, we will definitely use them again and would recommend them to other organisations.

Brian Clarke - Birthdays Limited

Dave Wakefield gave us exactly the training we wanted. He was very helpful and professional and the training session was very useful. I would be happy to recommend Wise Owl.

Dave Robinson - Richardson Research

I was most impressed by the willingness of the trainer to assist me with any queries - both the course content and trainer were both excellent.

Kevin O'Brien - Synstar International Ltd

Wise Owl provided a course which was relevant to my needs at a reasonable cost. The knowledge and experience of the trainer together with the enjoyable exercises made the day both interesting and productive.

Trevor Winslow - Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson

The tutor made me feel at ease and was quite happy to go over topics which I was not sure about. I would definitely use Wise Owl again for any future training needs.

Andrew Mansfield - Intavent Orthofix Ltd.

We ordered a tailor made training session to teach a team of technophobes the art of charts! By the time the day was over all the staff were producing fantastic material, under expert and patient supervision. The training manuals are so easy to understand, written in plain English with concise diagrams so that you do not have to remember or write anything down, it is all there for you in the manual. Wise Owl could make a fortune re-writing the self assembly instructions for flat pack furniture! Failing that they should stick to computer training, which they do very well indeed!

Julie Pittilla - Pittilla Public Relations

I first came across Wise Owl Business Solutions on the Internet. My initial enquiry was responded to promptly. The Excel Visual Basic 2-day' course I attended was delivered very professionally, which made it thoroughly enjoyable and I learnt a lot too! Attending the course will prove very useful in my work!

Sidhraj Bapodra - Euronext.Liffe

I found Wise Owl to be informal and relaxed yet still very professional. After attending a previous course, I had no doubts over using Wise Owl again to build on my knowledge and attended an Access Visual Basic 2-day course. This had a well balanced content, dealing with basic principles right through to more complex areas. I will happy to choose and recommend Wise Owl again in the future!

Graeme Pyke - Provecta Car Plan Ltd

I was looking for a fast course which got straight to the point which is just what I found with Wise Owl. I was impressed by the friendliness of the trainer and the suitable speed at which we worked. I shall choose Wise Owl for my future training needs again and recommend them to my colleagues.

Nas Hussain - Line Up Communications

I was made to feel at ease by the trainer early on in the course and therefore felt that I could ask more questions! The Access course was tailored to our needs which was great. I was impressed by all aspects of the course which was very informative. Please send more details of other courses available.

Louise Rowson - Altrincham Grammar School for Boys

I was very impressed with the breadth of knowledge of the trainer.... I would choose Wise Owl again due to the professional and helpful way in which the course was administered!

Simon Bowley - DEFRA

Having searched on the internet for a course to fit my needs, I booked online with Wise Owl for two Access courses and received an excellent pre-course pack which included very useful maps and directions. The logical process of the course content together with a very helpful, informative trainer and a lovely lunch will ensure that I shall choose Wise Owl again in the future - excellent all round!

Suzy Ning - Cheshire & Merseyside WDC

I found Wise Owl through an internet search. They had a Project course at the right time and price to suit me. The trainer's knowledge was very good and a small number of delegates meant that we all received more personal tuition than you would normally expect. I would certainly choose Wise Owl for IT training again in the future.

Jackie Letham - Jayelle Consulting Limited

I have now attended three Wise Owl courses and would wish to attend more. I was impressed by the trainers' knowledge of their subjects and willingness to help. Wise Owl courses represent an excellent way of learning, covering a lot of useful and relevant information in a short time.

Kurt Kleinschmidt - Tameside MBC

The VB training was excellent and very effective. There was a good mix of theory, examples and practice. The trainer was very good at giving help, but not the answer, to the practice exercises so you had to engage your brain and really learn the subject rather than just regurgitate the examples parrot fashion! Macro concepts were clearly explained in everyday language as were techniques for continuous improvement (such as recording macros, debugging and help). This means that the training given to us in the 2 days has not only taught us to write a range of useful macros but has also opened the door to improving our own macro writing skills. All this and the course was great fun too! I will be recommending Wise Owl to others.

Katharine Hoare - Royal Mail

This was one of the best IT courses that I've ever been on. I have been able to use it immediately in my work.

Amanda Nijjar - Royal Mail

The course was very good and thorough. The amount of information and guide provided along with the friendly and helpful attitude of the trainer was impressive.

Tracey Ashton - Teleresources Campaign Centre

The trainer was very knowledgeable and his presentation professional. I would certainly choose Wise Owl again and recommend them to others.

Simon Waring - Emerson Process Management

Everything about the (Excel VBA Macros) course was absolutely first class. The facilities and materials were outstanding, and the trainer was excellent. I've gained an awful lot from the course, and have already implemented some of the things I've learned in some of our existing reports and systems. The knowledge and skills will be invaluable over the next few months as we develop SRO systems in the new University.

Andrew Stevens - University of Manchester

The course (Access for Developers) was exactly what I wanted. Both the enthusiasm and knowledge of the trainer were impressive - as was the lunch!. I had attended another Access course with a different company shortly before and the difference in quality between the two was enormous.

His ability to interact with the delegates at anytime to answer questions and queries was great.

The knowledge that I gained from the course (Advanced VBA for Applications) was excellent. The low number of delegates was beneficial and the free USB stick and lunches were good too!

C. Henman - A C Nielsen

The course was run very efficiently and the relaxed and personable manner of the course trainer put us at ease.

The course was tailored to fit our companies specific needs but adaptable enough to address all the extra questions raised by individuals. I received excellent one-to-one assistance without losing the flow of the overall course.

Microsoft Access training - Access Introduction for Developers (3 days) - I was able to learn rapidly during this well thought out and well-presented course. The small group size allowed the trainer to deal in detail with every question that arose. I was also able to spend some time looking at personal projects with the trainer, which helped a great deal. I regarded the event a resounding success and a pleasure to attend. (MWH reserve the right to withdraw this statement at any time in the future).

Gordon Wallace - MWH UK Ltd.
