"Altogether a very positive experience, professional and fun!"
Dane Horgan
Sofa Brands International Ltd
"Everyone fully enjoyed the course over the two days and found their brains stretched from so much learning - but all in a good way! Our trainer was incredibly engaging and helped us identify areas we could work on to ensure our skills in PowerBI match what our organisation is asking from us."
Harriet Wilson
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
"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. "

"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers

"The trainer was very knowledgeable with genuine enthusiasm for Excel."
Abigail Stefanowicz
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Learned how cool PBI is. I now feel confident in the possibilities and use-cases of PBI!"
Phoebe Farrelly
PwC
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Power BI course. The structure and content was great. I kept up with the pace and understood everything that was being taught. I really appreciate how both trainers made a lot of jokes and tried to get to know us, this showed me they truly cared about our learning rather than them just trying to rush through the course. I think this is possibly the best training course I have ever been on! Keep shining!"
Paula Gjelaj
PwC
"The trainer was amazing, he really knew his stuff, was interesting in the way he presented things (even when the topic could have easily been boring) and went above and beyond."
Joe Sanders-Wilde
Hounslow Council
"Really appreciated the course, our trainer was very helpful. I have already started doing things differently and built a new little ecosystem better than I'd previously done. Already recommended you guys to our team. "
Jessie Stroud
BBI Services Ltd
"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"A really helpful course, the content was just right in terms of a mix of more simple and more advanced tasks. I learned loads of new stuff. Our trainer was great and I'd recommend the company again."
Jenny Bowman
University of Lincoln
"Our trainer was very engaging and worked the often tricky format of an online classroom, very well. Plenty of interaction with attendees kept things interesting and avoided 'lecturing' type issues I've encountered with other training courses in the past. Course content felt relevant and applicable to my work and I learnt a lot!"
Jake Harrington
University of Lincoln
"Course was engaging as we had to complete the work ourself, rather than just watch someone else do it. Our trainer was very enthusiastic and passionate about Power BI, which also helped enhance the experience."
Callum Smith
The Phoenix Group
"Our trainer was an absolute gentleman, kept the course entertaining but clearly knew his stuff and was very keen to answer any questions. I don't live in England or Scotland but if I ran into him I would be in a good mood. I was signed up for a few courses by a manager, they were brilliant and I genuinely really enjoyed learning the small details of Power BI I wouldn't normally have time to think about."
Fionn Denvir
PwC
"Trainer was great, really relaxed, engaging and most importantly patient!"
Catriona Gallimore
Halton Borough Council
"The course was excellent, very insightful!"
Emma Morgan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"One of the best and most informed training courses I have been on. We chose this course as a intensive introduction to Power BI and DAX. Our trainer understood we were new to the systems and took his time with the basics to make sure we understood the more complex parts easier. I now have a good working knowledge of both systems."
Jonathon Thurston
Peabody Trusts
"I found the course very useful. The activities will be useful for future reference when implementing some of the content. The trainer was very patient and made the course easy to follow and enjoyable."
Sarah Clarke
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"I found the whole experience with Wise Owl to be excellent, from the booking, through the pre-course technical testing and manuals, to the course itself. It was a pleasure to work with you. I like the fact that our trainer was able to watch over us in our individual environments and gently guide us through when we got stuck (without calling out to the other attendees). When we raised queries that couldn't be answered there and then, he took them away and came back with answers later. Originally chose Wise Owl because we'd been let down by another provider. I hadn't heard of Wise Owl before then but your website gave me a good introduction. I found the way you interacted with me during the booking and prep phases to be very professional. The course itself was excellent and the training manual and exercises will be useful to refer to in future. The style of the training was really good too - only a small number of attendees meant that no one got left behind and we were encouraged to ask questions. I will recommend Wise Owl to others. Thanks"
Simon Head
The Phoenix Group
"The trainer was great. He explained the basics really clearly and was super helpful if we ever got stuck on something, and went at a good pace so that we could keep up without getting bored. The examples were both fun and relevant to the kinds of things we might want to do at work (like feeding information through from a pop-up box, error checking etc.). The course manual is also really impressive. I would definitely recommend this course."
