"The course overall was great and I am happy I did it. The trainer was very friendly and taught everything thoroughly and with a lot of patience. The course materials were really helpful and thoroughly covered all aspects of SQL, especially for someone new to it! One thing which was particularly valuable was the step-by-step instructions included within."
Jasdeep Sandhu
CFC Underwriting
"Our trainer did a great job, who went above and beyond my expectations. I thought the course was really useful and my knowledge with regards SQL has increased 10 fold."
Mike Dolan
Individuals
"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"Very good trainer who went out of his way to answer any questions that we had."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass Ltd
"The course was great. We were a mixed ability group but the trainer provided really clear instructions and was always happy to answer my questions. I learnt loads and it was a really relaxed learning environment. My colleague had attended Wise Owl training in the past and she recommended you."
Anna Bullen
Loughborough University
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. His enthusiasm for the subject and product was infectious."
Vince Baglole
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"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
"I found the course very informative, the trainer was helpful and knowledgeable. The course manual is a great resource to enable us to apply the skills learnt after the course. A colleague recommended the course."
Kay Jackman
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Absolutely loved the course. Fab and really engaging trainer. The pace was good and the way the courses are set up makes it really easy to follow along with the exercises. I have attended a Wise Owl course previously and found the trainer really engaging and the course really useful, so I was hopeful that I would have just as good an experience with this course - which I did :)"
Amanda Wilding
ReAssure UK Services Limited
"Trainer was fantastic at keeping us engaged with the content, and going above and beyond to answer any more detailed questions we could have."
Simon Pagden
Hertfordshire County Council
"I loved the course, it was very engaging and got me so excited about Power BI. I actually love its potential and can see where it can be put into practice within my Service."
Diane Cooper-Ramsden
Barnsley MBC
"An excellent trainer. Very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand."
Alex Brian
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."
Jess Dyer
CFC Underwriting
"Excellent trainer and pace of days. He made you feel relaxed and explained the course content in a easy to understand manner."
Becky Hayes
APSE Manchester
"Perfect! The pace was fast, content delivered well and I got everything from the course I was hoping for. As we already have software development experience, it meant we could canter through the content and focus on the applicable differences. Well worth having a 'private' course for us three attendees, as this allowed us to prioritise the content in the time available and gave the opportunity to discuss aspects of our current software project in the context of the course with the trainer. We feel we can 'hit the ground running' now."
Stuart Green
ENGIE Services Ltd
"I thought the online format worked really well. The course was well-paced and covered all the topics I needed to enable me to fill in the gaps in my Power BI knowledge (having used it a little to date). I feel entirely confident to re-create reports that I have already been working with and also to create new ones with improved design and complexity."
Matthew Tierney
United Endeavour Trust
"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
"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"Trainer was excellent at explaining and teaching, friendly and helpful. Also good flow of material and progression of topics. I also think it was a good idea to check technical set-up before the course."
