"Our trainer was so easy to follow, clear with his instructions and very patient. I liked the way the course was segmented, with short breaks. A great experience, thanks!"
Kate Joynson
East Cheshire NHS Trust
"Our trainer was absolutely brilliant and was very engaging and you could see how passionate he was about excel which then made me feel more passionate about excel! He made the course :)"
Katie Clements

"Really enjoyed both days and the trainer did an excellent job. "
James Lavelle

Allison Orchard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer was really helpful, very patient and managed to amend the course and requirements, as we went along."
Jennine Carpenter
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"A fantastic trainer and I'm really pleased I asked for this course - it was exactly what I wanted and I have already used the new knowledge to help with multiple queries that I've been struggling with, since I joined 1.5 years ago! As always, the supporting material is great."
Alex Walker
MPM Products
"The trainer was really engaging and paced the content well."
Ian Getty
Torus62 Ltd
"An amazing course, really provided clarity with the content and I am really looking forward to putting it into practice. Course tutor was really lovely, patient and knowledgeable. Starting to look at further courses with your company for power automate and DAX :) I knew what Power BI could do but had no idea where to start! Now I have attended this course I am confident I could put practices into place that will make my life easier and put capacity back into my diary."
Toni-Marie Norman
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Great team, great trainer, great structure. Was clean and easy to follow along, loved that we get to take away the files we worked on during course."
Jamie Wright
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"Our trainer was great, went into detail and the tangents he went on were relevant to our job roles and useful pieces of skill."
Dan Carter
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"Really great course, learnt so much in 2 days and our trainer was brilliant in feeding the course information to us all."
Neil Billington
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"I love getting consulting or private lessons because we can schedule the hours due to the time zone difference (note: I live in Los Angeles). Also, we are able to cover a lot more in a short period. The draw back of private lessons versus a class setting is sometimes students ask really good questions that one might not think of…to help one formulate an understanding of the topics better. I’m a previous student. However, I originally learned about the class from Wise Owl You Tube VBA tutorials. Wise owl has very structured course material and exercises that is very good…especially from a student learner point of view."

"The trainer was great, he kept a good pace and kept it light hearted and he maintained interest and engagement. He's also VERY FUNNY- or at least does his best to be! The lunch out is a nice touch to leave the room and get a walk and some fresh air."
Alex Pickering
Kepak Group
"Great course, really enjoyed it. It has so much potential to help out with day to day tasks at both work and home. Really useful to have the interactions and overviews of other Microsoft products such as Power BI, adaptive card designer and MS Graph. Whilst I can understand that the new designer has bugs, it was actually quite beneficial encountering these during the course as it allowed us to see how to problem solve them in the future."
Kerry Coyne
The Phoenix Group
"Trainer was on point and very clear and concise in his explanations and demonstrations and very easy to get on with. Would recommend this course to anyone interested in the basics of Power BI."
Michael Cornish
Accord Healthcare
"Very good course with a patient teacher."
Jenny Entwisle
East Cheshire NHS Trust
"It was highly interactive: having to type out and run the code alongside the trainer ensured that I learned how to do it (vs trying to absorb lots of theory from powerpoints!) Our trainer was very personable, and ensured that we stayed engaged throughout - not easy to do over a three day course delivered remotely!"
Myriam Telford
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"An amazing trainer, really knowledgeable and open to discuss our concerns or issues."
Adam Paginton
DHU Healthcare CIC
"I found the course very usefully, the trainer was engaging, friendly and kept the pace of the teaching going but including everyone through out. A pleasant and informative day."
Susan Buick
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"Really enjoyed the course, it had a very good structure and our Trainer was top-class!"
Matt Hemming
Liquid Logic (System C)
