Sample customer feedback

"Tutor was very knowledgeable, helpful and approachable...., made SQL interesting. Course material is very detailed and useful. Found the content really useful and something I will definitely use at work."

Vicky Murphy (Berrymans Lace Mawer (BLM))

"Being a total Excel geek, it was great to see sleeker ways of working with a tool I have used for years. The trainer's pace of training was excellent, and all of the examples used in the content were extremely relatable. The value of the course will definitely be visibly reflected in my office work and personal use of Excel. Most of my Excel experience has been based on self-study, so I was keen to learn new tricks and tips to add some value to my base knowledge."

Debbie Oloruntoba (Plastipak)

"Enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. We had a great tutor and he created a relaxed environment and made participation and questions easy. Also lunch was great. (Advised by a colleague who had previously attended a course.)"

Andrew Whaling (Muse Developments)

"Really enjoyed the two days. Have learned lots of things I can apply in my everyday job. I was referred to Wise Owl by a colleague."

Natalie Gatward (ThoughtWorks Ltd)

There are lots more where these came from (or just refresh this page to change the quotes shown).

Delegates should already be very comfortable with using the basics of Excel. Some financial modelling or accountancy background, while not essential, will be very useful.  This course uses Excel 2016, but will be just as useful if you're using Excel 2013, 2010 or 2007.  Note that this course is an alternative to our two-day Advanced Excel course, not a follow-on.
