"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"Great course, well informed trainer. Days flew by."
Ryan McNally
APSE Manchester
"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
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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. "

"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."
Beverley McNamara

"The course was really good, our trainer is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable person who made me feel comfortable when asking questions."
Nicola Mills
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Our trainer was amazing and I have a much better understanding of DAX. So many things I now know that I will use going forward (the Italian way). ;) Thanks, William."
William Walker
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"This was one of the best courses I have ever attended! The trainer was engaging and really enthusiastic, always happy to answer questions and discuss the content further where needed. Being able to work through the content ourselves as we were being taught really helped to consolidate my knowledge. The venue was great and very accessible and the food was amazing!"
Charlie Staniforth
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Booking and course information were all communicated well. The venue and pace was good. There was a lot of content to cover (re-caps were most welcomed). The trainer showed patience throughout and was able to answer all questions."
Vicky Kearney
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Very good course tailored to our specific requirements."
Mike Hughes
Cheshire East Council
"It was a great introductory course at a good pace. I had no prior SQL knowledge and found it really useful. It's good that we could copy over the exercises at the end of the course to enable us to practice in our own time. Our trainer was very friendly and approachable"
Cheryl Walker
APSE Manchester
"Our trainer was enthusiastic and very helpful. He took the time to go back, where people had missed things and helped with any questions we had to do with our own work, not focused on the course. He allowed us to tailor the course as we wanted and choose our own path with what he demonstrated. I chose Wise Owl due to its reviews, its price was competitive and covered everything I wanted in a convenient manner. I would ask to go on another Wise Owl course in the future."
James Hinkley
Homes England
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Course content was intense and enjoyable. Lunch venues a great choice and an opportunity to walk outside. So great to be back face to face learning. The trainer has a pleasant and patient manner and adapted his presentation (made larger on screen) to my needs."
Sue Cann
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Thanks for a very useful 2-day course. I think it worked very well remotely and we didn't run into any problems during the 2 days. The trainer was very knowledgeable on SSAS and provided us with some good examples and help when we needed it on the exercises."
James Rapkin
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The content of the course was great and was supported by an extensive manual which I am grateful for. The course is really well organised and I loved that the trainees were applying live what they were learning using the remote desktop. I also loved that the trainer could see on his screen what we were doing and give us live feedback. I have seen how Devon County Council has used Power BI to share their traffic collision data in a visual way, and we would like to achieve something similar in Plymouth. The course is one step forward towards it."
Angelique Kergosien
Plymouth City Council
"I loved the course, it was very engaging and got me so excited about Power BI. I actually love its potential and can see where it can be put into practice within my Service."
Diane Cooper-Ramsden
Barnsley MBC
"Our trainer was great! Really personable and great at engaging us all."
Sarah Hulme
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The course was brilliant. A great trainer, very patient and worked at a good speed (I don't like hanging around a lot). He is also a great guy and good fun, made the course very interesting and the days were good."
Karen Harrison
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"After the course I have a much better understanding of Power BI in general and functionality of DAX."
