"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."
Jen Lloyd
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"The trainer was excellent, responded really well to questions, was informative and knowledgeable."
Rebecca Gardner
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was the first excel course I’ve ever been on that was pitched at completely the right level. The tutor was very knowledgeable and took time to answer any queries we had. She checked in with us on our existing knowledge and then built on it. The practice tasks and the materials you go away with will mean I have the ability to regain knowledge on any tasks I don’t immediately start using. The snacks were also appreciated!"
Hazel Kimmitt
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK Ltd
"Great training, with an amazing trainer. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept the group fully engaged and made sure everyone was comfortable with the content. A great session"
Enmanuel Moreno Gomez
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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."
Hiten Mistry
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"Trainer was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject, and able to answer any question I had. The course was delivered at an appropriate speed, ensuring that no one was left behind."
Charlotte Jackson
Sellafield Ltd
"I liked the screen sharing element of the course. Not only did it make it really easy to fix any issues and for the trainer to see where someone was struggling, but also removed the temptation to reply to an email and fall behind."
Grace Lockyer
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A brilliant trainer who was great and really approachable. "
Daniel Atthey
Gateshead Council
"I cannot fault the course or trainer. It was the best professional training I've ever received."
Justin Cowley
Derby Homes Ltd
"Really helpful course, delivered in a way that ensured we were all starting from the same point and that we all left each stage at the same point. Very, very useful course with a great tutor."
Joseph Gaskin
Liverpool Health Partners
"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
"I enjoyed the course and I thought that our trainer was fantastic. He delivered the training in a very structured manner and took the time to explain the use cases and context behind the different functions and formatting techniques. It was also great to bounce some personal excel issues off of him and get solutions."
Kieran Walton
Two Circles
"Really great course and really appreciate this being changed last minute to provide me with the content and experience needed for SSRS reporting."
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun to work with. Much appreciated. I'll be putting what I've learned into practice right away. Thanks again!"
Jon Orr
Withers LLP
"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"Our trainer was very knowledgeable with the content, he knew exactly how the system worked, how to resolve issue and what it was capable of. He is a very likable person and confident with his delivery. The training was relaxed but very informative, and it was enjoyable as well."
Jo Harrison
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Very informative course with the correct amount of work covered to suit all attendees. A very knowledgeable tutor with vast experience of the software. Looking forward to attending future courses! "
Shaun Cunningham
H&T Presspart
"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. "
Cameron Daulby
