"I thought the course was superb. The content delivery and the accessibility to all was really impressive, having the exercises to work through during the course helped consolidate the knowledge. The content was really easy to follow and if we were ever stuck, were given the confidence to feel like we could ask for help. I have been on multiple different training courses with different providers and I can honestly say the course was delivered by the best trainer I have ever had. The passion he has for teaching and helping others learn was clearly on show and was so refreshing and great to see. Throughout both days he made you feel so welcome and that no question was a stupid question, he was always there to help and guide you through any problems we had and overall he was just amazing, I couldn't have asked for any more and he went above and beyond my expectations for the course and what I would gain from it. "

"The course content was really relevant for me to put into practise through spreadsheets I already have. The course trainer explained thoroughly, was patient and helpful throughout, felt very at ease asking questions when I was unsure."
Tara Boyle
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"I really thought the balance of the course, leaving each member of the team to progress at their own pace with additional help where needed, was excellently carried out and overall this was one of the most informative and enjoyable learning experiences I have had. Huge credit to our trainer for engaging us all in the course and going above and beyond to make sure we got both the most complete and most relevant training we could."
Tim Leadbetter
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"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!"
Scott Castro
Addleshaw Goddard
"I really enjoyed the course. It was simple to follow along and was at the right pace to understand everything being taught. Many thanks for a great two days!"
Lorna King
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Our trainer made the course very enjoyable with his enthusiasm and humour. He made sure I felt like I could ask all and any questions I wanted, despite also having to pay extra attention to the other trainee."
Philip Howlett
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"This course was exactly what I needed to get up to speed on PowerBI, and I now feel confident in working with it in my role. The offer of continued help from the trainer if we were to e-mail was greatly appreciated too. I had never used PowerBI before and needed something that took me from newbie to reasonable user in a short timeframe, and this ticked all the boxes."
Scot Hickinbottom
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"After the course I have a much better understanding of Power BI in general and functionality of DAX."
Olga Sergushova

"Great course - exactly the right level for me. Fantastic trainer."

"The course was very good. Extremely useful for my job role, the trainer was very informative and I came away feeling a lot more confident than when I started. Thanks again."

"Really enjoyed the course. A brilliant trainer, who answered any and all questions and really brought the content to life."

"Another fab course provided by Wise Owl. The trainer was lovely, very helpful and super knowledgeable. Course content was great and covered lots of topics. Really nice venue, and great lunch choices!"
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"The course contained sufficient content for a good introduction to VBA, was well organised (e.g. with sending out training manuals and organising pre-course checks) and came with high quality training materials. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and created an encouraging environment for delegates to share ideas and ask questions. He also added in lots of "tips and tricks", which meant everyone learnt a lot, even if they had some degree of familiarity with VBA going in. Wise Owl had delivered other online trainings to Sellafield staff, so came recommended by colleagues."
Alex Cunningham
Sellafield Ltd
"The course tutor was very friendly and welcoming to the course. He worked at a perfect pace for us to follow along with and understand. The course content was just enough to get started and not to overload the learner. I would highly recommend Wise Owl and will use again. This course was chosen as it came highly recommended by a colleague who did the advanced SQL course."
Finley Gray
NWF Agriculture Ltd
"Our trainer explained things so clearly and was so patient when I got a bit behind. An excellent trainer."
Allison Orchard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Excellent training structured nicely to keep everyone engaged. Our trainer's delivery was excellent and would recommend to others."
Matthew Terry
Galliford Try Environmental / ESD
"Really enjoyed the training and I've learned a lot which will be really helpful to my work."
Amelia Jewell
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"The course content was great, perfect level for the group and our trainer was brilliant, very patient and kept us engaged throughout the day. We chose this course as we have a lot of data that we could analyse ourselves - we normally have to ask others for help which can take time but hopefully now we will be able to have a go. The content was great for beginners, and maybe in the future we can progress further!"
Laura Potter
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Company feedback for WiseOwl has been great. Personally, this is the second time I've been on a course with the company and I couldn't fault it."
