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 trainer was really helpful and was watching our every move on the remote sessions to make sure we were OK and not lagging behind. Top bloke, really nice, really good experience. Thank you so much! "

Adam Ratcliff (Whitemeadow Furniture Ltd)

"A great trainer with a great personality, a wealth of knowledge and experience from many different sectors. I felt encouraged to ask questions and he provided a further level of detail into the course materials. I have received the monthly email for many years and never felt like being spammed. Wise owl has therefore always been on my radar without being a nuisance. When I reached out for more info, you were very accommodating. It's these touches that made me choose Wise Owl. Thanks again to everyone who helped with tech, admin and training, you make the learning process easy! Keep up the great work."
