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.

"Trainer was great! Very patient with all of us and very knowledgeable in helping us to understand. Amazing communication skills!"
Muhtaseeb Syed

"Really well constructed, excellent trainer and we worked at a good pace."
Becky Young
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"Really happy with the Power BI Fast Track course. Everything was explained clearly and made very easy to understand and the trainer was generous with providing practical tips for working with data and reports above and beyond the syllabus. The communication and set up before the course was also as smooth as possible. I've had a few courses with Wise Owl and looking forward to joining another one in the future. "
Kaili Jarv
Waltham Forest Council
"Easy to follow, taught at a good speed with great examples that we now have saved to refer back to. I liked that we weren't just watching the training and were able to follow along with every action. The course manuals are also super helpful as following along yourself is more important than having to make lots of notes!"
Alice Ryan
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Excellent course. It moved along at quite a pace but was always easy to follow. Covered everything I needed to feel confident working alone. Recommended by co-workers"
John Dalzell

"I really enjoyed the course and found it very helpful with the course handbook making it easy to apply what we have learnt. Our trainer was a lovely person and excellent trainer, very happy with his delivery of the course and his patience with us! Recommendation came from a colleague."
