Sample customer feedback

Our thanks to everyone who agreed to share their thoughts (note that some of these reviews may be for our online courses).

"Great course, brilliant interaction, I've learnt a lot! The trainer was great!"

John Dwyer (Richmond Housing Partnership (RHP))

"An excellent trainer, clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in running the course. He was personable and witty, keeping it light but also quite firm to ensure we kept on track. The pace felt right, and I liked that there was in-person training, not just on-line; that helps me focus on learning as it's easier to get distracted when on-line. The support materials for reference afterwards are also very useful"

Karen Skinner (LifeArc)

"Very well taught as with other Wise Owl courses I've attended. "

Isobel Russ (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC, ex MHCLG))

"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))

"The trainer was excellent, very knowledgeable and really easy to follow, with a great personality which made training, fun!"

Alex Radford (Marley Ltd)
