"The whole team at WiseOwl were great! With some technical problems our end, I can only thank them for their perseverance with getting their training course delivered to their standard high quality. Our trainer was super friendly, funny and very, very knowledgeable. Everything you want from someone running a 2 day course. He was engaging throughout, and built a very good relationship with the team very quickly. This meant the training was fun for all and invaluable in terms of the skills and knowledge shared. Having previously attended a course from WiseOwl, I knew that picking another one would be of equal quality. The team were about to get stuck into complex excel modelling, therefore, being able to create a bespoke course for the business modelling, to cover some advanced features was super important."

"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"I enjoyed the course and picked up loads of really useful tips. I am already beginning to use Power BI to produce new visualisations for data that I am currently analysing."
Simon Hart

"A great course! The trainer is so knowledgeable but explained everything in terms I could understand. He also spoke about examples which would fit into my line of work, this really helped to add perspective and depth to my understanding."
Claire Payton

"Our trainer ensured that we all stayed with him throughout and his pace and willingness to make DAX less like a foreign language made it a very enjoyable course. I cannot wait to put what we learnt into practice. Thank you! We had previously done the Intro to SQL and PBI courses which were also very well received - so it was a no-brainer to come back!"
Anthony Swales
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
"Our trainer made the course very accessible, really appreciated his enthusiasm!"
Conor Maloney

"The paperwork was received within time, and the training covered everything as described and what was required - doing online was excellent, everything went smoothly - would recommend to others."

"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"A great presenter, really helpful and really good at explaining concepts."
Alistair Rice
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"This course was pitched just right for our skill levels. Pacing and content were spot on. Our trainer was approachable and fielded all of our daft questions! The venue was located perfectly for the station. Materials provided in support of the course were really good and I'll keep them as reference. I can't think of anything that I would have liked to see changed. We chose this particular course as we were wanting to do a classroom based one (and Manchester was an ideal location) and we have been with Wise Owl before."
Nathan Cain

"Amazing courses! Great trainer, pace and content. I literally couldn't have asked for better introductions to SQL and Power BI. Plus I have some many great resources to refer back to in the future :) Thank you!"
Simone Capp
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"I had a great time, thank you so much for a fab course!"
Holly Tyers
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Our tutor was fantastic, a really great course conveyor. Content was useful and interesting as well. Would highly highly recommend."
Seán Guilfoyle
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"All good for me. Clearly like any course of this nature, I now need to find time to put the learning into practice."
Jeff Bird
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"A really nice trainer who made the course really accommodating. A really worthwhile course."
Holly Keay
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"It's great to get some extra information that isn't usually in the course (a walkthrough about measures was particularly helpful!)"
Jamie Yeo
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Having attended Wise Owl courses before, I knew this would be the best way to learn more about SQL in a structured setting. I enjoyed the course and the content covered many useful SQL features. The trainer was friendly and welcoming and his delivery was excellent. He is clearly very knowledgeable about SQL and was able to answer all of our questions with ease. He gave us plenty of time to do the exercises with his help, which was particularly good as I sometimes find I forget things if I don't take the time to do them myself, once I've learnt them. Although a basic level of knowledge of SQL is naturally assumed going into an advanced course, I was never put on the spot or had to recall things that weren't in the course. I quite liked that approach."
Conor Fegan
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"The course was well structured, with each section helpfully building on the contents of the previous. The trainer was very clear with his explanations and paced the course well. I was fortunate enough to be the only person on the course, so was able to ask plenty of questions and always received helpful and informative answers."
Ollie Jacob
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Great course! Good practical overview of PowerBI, made even better because our trainer had developed content and exercises tailored to our data. He really knows his stuff and answered all our questions well. Other colleagues had done this course and gave great feedback on it."
