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.

Here are some comments we've received about our Power BI + training. You can see all of our 404 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"Fantastic Trainer and Online Training Experience. Power BI has always been something that I have been wary of, but thanks to the amazing trainer, everything was explained so simply, I now feel at ease with the system."
Terry Lancaster
Manchester Metropolitan University
"An incredible teacher, who across the 3 days was very entertaining and engaging. His way of explaining and breaking down the course content made it easy to follow and understand. The content was everything we all needed to know and I was able to see how I could apply what I had learnt into my own projects. I came away excited to put my new knowledge into action."
Rachael Kerrigan
Adidas UK
"Course and trainer were awesome!"
Ahmed Elbably
PwC
"Our trainer was clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter and kept the course flowing well. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions too, which helped to put the course into context for our business area. I have attended previous training courses with Wise Owl."
Claire Payton
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions effectively and was extremely patient with everyone. Also, the handouts were extensive and will be a great tool when using Power BI moving forward. Thank you! We chose the Introduction course, as most of our team had little/no prior knowledge of Power BI. I would recommend this course to anyone starting out and will hopefully be able to complete more extensive training in the future."
Esther Finch
City of Lincoln Council
"My tutor was extremely good, very detailed and adapted the lesson, where necessary, to match my ability. I even asked if we could include a task where I would need to troubleshoot DAX to see what was missing and this was included with ease. Thanks again!"
