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).

"The course was well arranged, the material sent out was very handy to have and our trainer was fantastic at delivering the course. He kept us all engaged and made it fun as well as informative. My manager arranged the course to assist with a Data Analytics apprenticeship I have just started so this fitted in perfectly with the start of this."

Pamela Ransome (East of England Co-op)

"Really appreciate the accompanying manual for future reference."

Callum Walker (Cheshire East 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. "

Sandra Hopwood (Reigate and Banstead Borough Council)

"Excel isn't an easy topic to be delivered. Still our trainer succeeded to deliver it, not just keeping our interest awake but with such a flow and it was so easy to understand. The course was also very up to date with the latest (1 months old) excel updates by Microsoft. I had also found their customer service very friendly and customer focused. It was a pleasure to organise the course with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

Marianna Magocsi (Interfood Technology Ltd)

"Really liked the everything about the training; the pre course check to make sure everything is fine on the day and especially the knowledge and delivery of the course by a very friendly tutor."
