Friendly and professional training ... guaranteeed▼
How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:
We limit our courses to no more than 6 people per class.
Unlike almost every other computer training company, we never subcontract or use freelancers - here's why this matters.
The best courseware in the industry? See for yourself▼
Our course manuals and exercises are by some way the best in the computer training industry. Fortunately you don't have to take our word for this - you can see for yourself:
It's dangerous to be sanctimionius, but we can see no possible benefit that tobacco and gambling companies bring to the world (and quite a lot of harm), so we choose not to work for them. Sorry.
We've put a lot of thought into making our online courses as useful and interactive as possbile:
Delegates use Remote Desktop to connect to our machines, so our trainers can see everyone's screens at all time.
We arrange (without charge) a half-hour pre-course check for each online delegate before courses, to ensure that they everyone will be able to join the course seamlessly when it begins.
As well as providing a PDF of the manual and exercises for each online course delegate we will (again without charge) also post this out to each person a few days before if required.

What other people have said about our Power BI training
Here are some comments we've received about our Power BI + training. You can see all of our 493 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"I found the whole experience with Wise Owl to be excellent, from the booking, through the pre-course technical testing and manuals, to the course itself. It was a pleasure to work with you. I like the fact that our trainer was able to watch over us in our individual environments and gently guide us through when we got stuck (without calling out to the other attendees). When we raised queries that couldn't be answered there and then, he took them away and came back with answers later. Originally chose Wise Owl because we'd been let down by another provider. I hadn't heard of Wise Owl before then but your website gave me a good introduction. I found the way you interacted with me during the booking and prep phases to be very professional. The course itself was excellent and the training manual and exercises will be useful to refer to in future. The style of the training was really good too - only a small number of attendees meant that no one got left behind and we were encouraged to ask questions. I will recommend Wise Owl to others. Thanks"

"Brilliant course for a beginner, especially with the course manual provided - really useful when working on anything Power BI. Our trainer was absolutely brilliant with us all, judged the pace perfectly and was happy to go on small tangents when questions were asked. "
