What other people have said

Our thanks to everyone who agreed to share their thoughts. All of the following reviews are from the last 3 calendar years:

"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was great, moving at a consistent speed whilst making sure everyone was keeping up and understanding everything. I was also glad we jumped straight in at the start of each session and didn't spend forever doing pointless 'ice breakers' at the start (this was once 50 mins on another course I did!!). The breaks were perfectly timed and very much appreciated to keep my concentration levels up and give us a chance to digest each section. Our trainer was friendly and made me feel comfortable to ask questions and didn't make anyone feel silly for doing anything wrong. The content was great and covered a good range of things that I will be using. I liked the set up with the trainer being able to see our screens as well as us being able to see his. It all worked very smoothly! I had no knowledge of Power BI so needed an introductory course. I would very much be interested in the advanced course later in the year once I've practiced. Thank you for the great session and helping me resolve my IT/connection issues before the course!"

Donna Sahni (Look Ahead Care and Support)

"I would like to feedback that this was the best course I have undertaken in the last 16 years since I have started working. I have undertaken many courses from a lot of different providers and this was the best. The online experience was perfect, very smooth and I have never seen a 100% hand-on course!! I would recommend your training happily to anyone. The trainer was simply out of this world!!! In addition to his professionalism, knowledge and experience, he also has some very rare qualities as a trainer. The way he guided all of us, corrected or supported someone anonymously and the flow of the training. He explained everything and remained calm with dummies every time we were stuck, even the way he was doing his jokes was phenomenal!!! We already have a list of 20 actions and improvements to do, and this is the first time I am taking back to my work practice so many improvements from a training course. Thank you very much!"

Apostolis Fakis (Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT)

"Great instructor with good examples that demonstrate each aspect of Power BI. Great documentation and friendly and knowledgeable instructors."

Adam Hughes (Volac International Ltd)

"Our trainer was very friendly and delivered the course in a way that made it fun and enjoyable, but also easy to understand. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone looking to get into SQL."

Katie Horton (The Modern Milkman)

"Very comprehensive training course without being so much that it became overwhelming. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful trainer who communicated and explained the content effectively. I also think the course manual and exercises provided are excellent and I am sure will be really useful resources post-training."

David Caldwell (Cheshire East Council)

How our training courses work

Below are some notes on how Wise Owl courses work, to help you decide whether they're for you or not.

What you'll need

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

  1. A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
  2. A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

  • For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
  • For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

What you won't need

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed.  This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers, and these will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

The start of the course

For online courses you will be able to join up to half an hour before the course begins. This will give you time to:

  • familiarise yourself with the set-up;
  • meet your trainer; and
  • get to know the other delegates!

For classroom training it's always nice if people arrive a bit early too, to give people time to meet each other (and drink coffee).

You'll be given a full colour courseware manual, an exercise booklet to go with the course and a USB stick for taking course files away (we'll post all this to you for online courses).

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
