"Great course and customer service from Wise Owl throughout, from pre-course checks to the course itself. I had been given a new laptop from work and it was no trouble for the team at Wise Owl to promptly arrange a self check prior to my course. The course itself was very informative and trainer was patient and answered any questions we had. Thank you."
Emily Knight
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
"Our trainer made the course really easy to follow and understand, she was very thorough and I liked that fact that we practiced what we had learnt."
Alison Hopkins
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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)
"This course was very useful and helpful for the work that we will be undertaking at the council in the future. Our trainer was very knowledgeable, very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace. He was able to answer any questions I had and was able to advise on how we are using the system for our performance data. Will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I have previously done the Introduction to SQL course, so wanted to expand my knowledge further and learn how I could implement all the different techniques into our own system. I will be exploring the Power BI courses once we are in a position to do so."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln Council
"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
"An excellent trainer and the course was excellent for me. I have always struggled with formulas but found this explained them really well. Also really great that we have a folder with the spreadsheets we worked on so that I can refer back, and refresh my memory if needed. The course was put together for us based on our knowledge."
Karen Wetton
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"A great trainer who explained everything very well."
Stuart Morley
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"I found this course really useful and I like that the trainer is reactive to questions by diverting slightly off course to demonstrate an answer to the question. I also liked the fact that rather than just DAX the course showed how we could use the DAX Measures in the visuals. I am new to DAX and Power BI and wanted to get a better understanding of the basics before looking at what I can improve on going forwards."
Colin Watts
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Very good training. Well paced, thorough and interactive. Supporting materials were very good and the trainer was very approachable, very helpful and had a really good manner."
Neil Harrison
Halton Borough Council
"Our trainer was brilliant. Very patient and very knowledgeable, could answer all of our questions. I have used Power BI but everything I know is self taught. I wanted to check that I was doing things the right way and find some useful tips and tricks."
Chris Powell
Homes England
"Our trainer was great! Really personable and great at engaging us all."
Sarah Hulme
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"Very good course tailored to our specific requirements."
Mike Hughes
Cheshire East Council
"The trainer was brilliant and very knowledgeable on the subject. He covered the course material at a good pace and was happy to answer any questions"
James Langrick
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The course was brilliant from start to finish. The trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I learned a lot that I can put into practice at work and would definitely be interested in doing another course with WiseOwl. I have recommend the course to my colleagues."
Michael Cutts
Barnsley MBC
"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
"I really enjoyed this course and found the trainer very knowledgeable and approachable. This is the second time I have done the course - in classroom and online and I enjoyed both of them. I wanted a refresher (on what I had previously learnt) as I don't use excel enough in work to put a lot of the tasks into practice. I still learnt extra/new things and I would recommend this course. "
Claire Harrison
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"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."
