"This was probably one of the best courses I've been on. I was so impressed with the course content and the delivery. The trainer's ability to deliver quite extensive content while ensuring everyone understood and put it into practice, was awesome. His enthusiasm and attitude generally made this 2 day course an absolute pleasure. The venue was great, really good facilities and in a perfect central location. Going out for lunch was a great touch. Good to get out of the room for an hour and have some nice food! Thanks Wise Owl for a fab training experience!"

"Well rounded course, presented well."
Rob Cook
Live Nation (Music) UK Limited
"I was impressed by our trainer's thoroughness - any questions that he could not answer on the spot, he took away and answered the next day, having found workarounds to even the most obscure of questions we had for him! His pace of teaching and clarity was perfect, taking the stress out of learning new things."
Lisa Anastassiu
The Phoenix Group
"Great course - connecting through a remote desktop, I feel was valuable. To have the trainer able to see if I was going wrong was great. Good reputation among my colleagues."
Charlotte Clare
Bedfordshire Police
"An excellent trainer, full of energy and really keen to see us improve on our existing SQL skills. Kept me engaged throughout the entire training process. Used SQL in the past but wanted to gain more understanding of the different clauses which are used. Came out of the training with a much better understanding of SQL, in that I now know when to use each clause and how to format queries."
Joshua Woolner
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)
"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
Sellafield Ltd
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"Amazing courses! Great trainer, pace and content. I literally couldn't have asked for better introductions to SQL and Power BI. Plus I have some many great resources to refer back to in the future :) Thank you!"
Simone Capp
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer was very friendly, approachable and had a very good knowledge of the subject. The pace of the course was spot on, and I also liked the fact it was a small group - only 4 of us. The remote desktop where the trainer could see our screens, and offer advice whilst we were typing away was excellent - a lot better than having to share screens individually whenever we got stuck... and a lot less time consuming! Overall, really enjoyed the course and would have no hesitation in choosing you again in the future."
Mark Lloyd
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"A fantastic trainer who made sure everything was very clear and understood before moving to the next topic. The book you sent out has been genuinely helpful and I have kept it in my laptop bag for work and have already made additional use of it this morning."
Callum MacKay
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"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
"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was great, moving at a consistent speed whilst making sure everyone was keeping up and understanding everything. I was also glad we jumped straight in at the start of each session and didn't spend forever doing pointless 'ice breakers' at the start (this was once 50 mins on another course I did!!). The breaks were perfectly timed and very much appreciated to keep my concentration levels up and give us a chance to digest each section. Our trainer was friendly and made me feel comfortable to ask questions and didn't make anyone feel silly for doing anything wrong. The content was great and covered a good range of things that I will be using. I liked the set up with the trainer being able to see our screens as well as us being able to see his. It all worked very smoothly! I had no knowledge of Power BI so needed an introductory course. I would very much be interested in the advanced course later in the year once I've practiced. Thank you for the great session and helping me resolve my IT/connection issues before the course!"

"Definitely the best online training experience I've ever had."
Kath Charters
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"The course structure and coaching method were great. Our trainer was a joy to work with, his experience and expertise, as well as people skills were amazing. Could not ask for a better trainer. Will defo be in touch for further training courses and advise etc."
Adaul Akbar
DHU Healthcare CIC
"I found this course really useful and I like that the trainer is reactive to questions by diverting slightly off course to demonstrate an answer to the question. I also liked the fact that rather than just DAX the course showed how we could use the DAX Measures in the visuals. I am new to DAX and Power BI and wanted to get a better understanding of the basics before looking at what I can improve on going forwards."
Colin Watts
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"An excellent tutor, who gave a vivid understanding of how report builder works. He would make sure each and every one of us understood the topic before moving onto the next one. He structured his sessions in a way that it wasn't stressful, which made sure I had enough time to grasp what was being taught."
Joseph Philip
Torus62 Ltd
"An incredible trainer. I've done a fair amount of coaching / training etc in the past and our trainer was so good that I kept having to remember I was doing the course, not just getting tips on how to train well. :) Course content was also excellent - exactly the right pace and depth for me. Thank you."
James Charnock
Manchester Metropolitan University
"Really loved the whole experience. I'm a lot more confident and eager to use my skills going forward. The course was a great pace and ensured that you had a great foundation knowledge before moving on to more difficult areas of work. I think we used it because other people in my department have been on it before-I can see why they recommended it!!"
Hannah Bateman
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I took the Intro to SQL course and highly recommend it. Everything was organized and thoughtful from pre-course to the actual training. Our trainer was really good, knowledgeable, and friendly. As someone with no background in SQL, I was worried that I might not be able to go with the pace of training but our trainer made sure that everyone was getting along with the topics. Learned a lot and I'm excited to apply it all. Interested to learn more too!"
John Austria
Financial Times
"Trainer was very enthusiastic and engaging. He was very pleasant and also willing to spend more, or less time, on whatever we felt was the most valuable for our jobs. This flexibility was really appreciated."
