Not sure if we deserve all the reviews you can see on this site? Here are some of the things we do (very) differently to earn them.
How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:
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:

If you can't see the course you want listed above, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.
Here are some comments we've received about our Power Platform + training. You can see all of our 528 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
Lucy Ellams
Halton Borough Council
"The informal chats and lunch we had throughout the day helped make the course really engaging. Given it was a basic overview I feel I now have a really good grasp of Power BI to move forward with. Colleagues had done the course before and said how good it was."
Sophia Sharpley
Sage Publishing
"A great tutor and the course was incredibly informative. Our trainer was able to tailor elements of the course to our needs, so almost had the feel of a one to one training course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to further their knowledge and understanding of Power BI. Initially I was unsure as to whether to choose the Data or Report Power BI course, however I felt the course's description explained the differences well."
Sophie Jones
The University of Manchester
"Firstly, great that pre course checks took place to ensure no delay in getting started, and we all had packs sent out. Secondly, great that we could all be seen and that our trainer was excellent at keeping an eye on us all and helping us through any issues e.g. if we had missed a step in the sequence / clicked on the wrong thing etc so we were all progressing at the same pace. Also, he answered any questions we asked or found out the answers during breaks. Our trainer was really patient, and his personality meant we felt comfortable to interact and ask questions / for help when required. I would definitely recommend Wise Owl to others :-)."
Claire Muxworthy

"All round, really good - having a trainer who not only knows their stuff but is also constantly engaging was really refreshing."
Andrew Booker

"Good pace, very informative and useful. Good communication before/during & step-by-step resources. Thank you."
