"Thoroughly enjoyed the two days that we spent with the instructor! He was incredibly enthusiastic and seemed to thrive from the enthusiasm that we showed. His wealth of knowledge on the subject of VBA, the ease to which he could write it, and finally how he was able to deliver, made for a very impressive display! Would highly recommend."
Nathan Simmonds
ReAssure UK Services Limited
"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"Our trainer was super helpful and always made sure to help/make things clearer if I didn't understand. He really made the course enjoyable too so thanks! "
Lindsay James
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."
Jonathan Bibby

"Really enjoyed the course and delivery style, which was fun and engaging. Our trainer really made everyone feel comfortable and captivated interest with various examples. It has given me some new useful tools for both in and outside of work."
Simon Hayes

Sarah Hulme
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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

"Another excellent course delivered by Wise Owl. Thank you. Wise Owl content is always delivered in a manner that enthuses and motivates; making often complicated subjects much easier to decipher and digest. I will be using Wise Owl again."

"An amazing trainer, really knowledgeable and open to discuss our concerns or issues."
Adam Paginton
DHU Healthcare CIC
"The course was really good and thoroughly enjoyed it, the trainer's knowledge was immense. He explained everything so well. Really great insight to what can be achieved using Power BI, I was invited to attend this course as it is used in my organization. It has given me a taste of what it can be used for."
Alex Litwinski
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Authority
"I thought that the pace of the course was good. We had an excellent trainer; personable, keeping explanations to the point, and leading 'code along' examples of the topics in a way I found both accessible and instructive. I found the suggested real world implementations of concepts that we covered to be helpful. The fundamentals of SQL were covered in such a way that I was able to understand the topics without being side-tracked by complex alternative ways of doing things. The exercises we completed were appropriate for such a short course, and very much helped to solidify my understanding of the useful Left Join. We covered the advanced course at a pace I found to be pleasantly challenging while remaining interesting. Overall I though that the course has been an invaluable help to using SQL in the workplace, and the online training was practical, enjoyable and expertly paced. The course was recommended by a colleague!"
Jonathan Ferguson
Southbank Centre
"Fantastic, engaging and entertaining trainer who moved us through so many different parts of PowerBI, we really got what we needed out of the course. Every question was answered with ease. We were recommended WiseOwl by another company who had equal success with the training."
Ruth Fowler
MPM Products
"An excellent teacher and trainer. The course content was specifically tailored to suit our needs and he did a wonderful job teaching us it and further enlightening us on a number of topics. I can't recommend him highly enough."
Thomas Crozier
Home Office
"An excellent instructor, who is obviously keen on the use of Power BI. He answered every question asked - reflective of his knowledge of Power BI. The 300+ page training document is excellent too. This was my second course with Wise Owl and likely won't be my last."
Ian Grant
Collinson Group
"A great trainer, very attentive and made sure we were all able to grasp what was being taught. He took the time to make sure those with issues were supported. The course content was also very good, provided a very good overview of how we can use AI to improve productivity in the work we do. It helped to generate a lot of ideas and ways we could make improvements to our work. Overall, a great course and one I would recommend for those who have an interest in AI and want to get their foot in the door."
Sukhjeet Gill
Hounslow Council
"An excellent trainer. He explained everything really well and also made the subject of the course really interesting."
