"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
"This course was excellent! I had zero knowledge of Power BI when I joined this course and now, I will be developing some really awesome reports that answers some of the most important questions in the organization. I'd like to thank the instructor for his great teaching style and funny humour! For anyone thinking of taking this course, I would highly recommend this as the team at Wise Owl are a great bunch! Thanks a lot, guys!"
Qasim Awan
Manchester University NHS Foundation 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)
"The whole experience was very positive. Clear pre-course communication and remote working assessment was great. An excellent trainer, interactive, positive and patient. Handled individual delegate issues quickly and without causing undue delay to others."
Mario Yeomans
Sellafield Ltd
"Really good course & great that it is such a small group. I have previously attended in-person Wise Owl courses before. The online course worked really well (just a couple of tiny interruptions when people dropped out or sound lost). Taking the time to check the set up ahead of time & being able to have the pack posted to me was great. "
Catherine Turnbull-Ross
Fairhive Homes Ltd
"The trainer's energy made the course fun and engaging. He kept energy high when it might have dipped towards the end of the days."
Jaden Bhanabhai
Adidas UK
"Good balance of material and application making the course easy to digest. Number of new elements not aware of as Power BI constantly developing, so good way of also keeping up to date. Very knowledgeable trainer!"
Kieth Denison
Oxley Developments
"A great tutor and his approachable manner meant the training session ran very well and was enjoyable. Having used PowerBI everyday I was concerned that I may not pick up much but I was pleasantly surprised to pick up a number of techniques that I will use going forward. Thanks."
Tom Miles
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"A great teacher. He allowed time to make sure everyone was following along, explained things thoroughly and even took time out of his evenings to find out more about topics the group was interested in knowing about. I learnt a lot, especially as one of the group who knew the least!"
Sam Smith
Trust Alliance Group
"A fantastic trainer and so knowledgeable; he was able to answer every query and even spent time looking further into more complex issues for us. He works at a very good pace, is friendly, welcoming and puts you at ease. The exercises work very well and the approach to these is excellent, with our trainer leaving us to work on them unless we ask for help."
Becky Young
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"Really helpful, great trainer who was more than happy to answer any questions and show practical examples/solutions in a way that was understandable."
Andeep Chohan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Really enjoyed the course content and 1-1 interaction with trainer met my additional learning needs. The Trainer was patient and enabled me to practice on exercises that l could use in my work. "
Joanne Brown-Barnes
Network Plus
"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
"Our trainer was great! Happy to answer any questions and kept the energy up for the whole session(s). He made sure no one was lost or fell behind and I enjoyed the dad jokes."
Becky Kelly
Equality and Human Rights Commission
"Our trainer delivered a great course with information specific to where we needed support within PowerBI. He made the information clear and easy to understand."
Matthew Fielding
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"Really enjoyed it."
Gary Woodcock
Wurth Elektronik
"Great trainer, really knowledgeable helpful and a lovely venue in London. Being able to attend despite being the only one on the course was great too! I think the videos that you provide online are brilliant and help to increase awareness of this training. "
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"Our trainer was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions effectively and was extremely patient with everyone. Also, the handouts were extensive and will be a great tool when using Power BI moving forward. Thank you! We chose the Introduction course, as most of our team had little/no prior knowledge of Power BI. I would recommend this course to anyone starting out and will hopefully be able to complete more extensive training in the future."
Esther Finch
City of Lincoln Council
"A lot crammed in to three days, but the pacing was good with plenty of breaks. The opportunity to follow along with the remote connection was excellent, knowing we had exact copies of the environment and access to all the working files. Support before (connection check) and the printed documents were a great touch. Our trainer was genuinely happy to be teaching us, knew what he was talking about and was great with all our questions."
Mark Horton
Department for Education
"A great course. Our trainer moved at a perfect pace for us and shared a few extra gems with us on the way. Having been on Wise Owl courses before, you were the first point of call to see if you could help us with the latest training requirement."
Harriet Taylor
