"The ice breaker the trainer used at the start was really important I felt. Not only was it relevant to the example scenarios used throughout the course, but it also helped create a comfortable atmosphere within the group. Additionally, the trainer’s follow-up on our discussions demonstrated genuine interest, which made the experience even more engaging."
Heeral Miller

"A great instructor and the course content was perfect for the skills I was wanting to learn. Wise Owl came recommended by a few people, so definitely has a great reputation for quality courses and instructors."
Alexandra Thacker

"Our trainer was great, really patient and knowledgeable. It was a great set up following on Teams and doing the same thing at the same time. He knew when someone needed support and quickly helped them. Would recommend anyone to use wise owl."

"It's sometimes easy to give top marks on a review; however, this is absolutely deserved. The trainer was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. He ensured everyone was on track, kept note of queries and expanded things when he could. I thought the content, and flow, was really well thought out and appreciated the manual, etc. we get to keep (particularly as paper copies). I think the technology implementation for online was one of the best I have experienced too, with the trainer being able to see everything as it's going. Brilliant overall and I will be recommending you to others, and pushing for more courses."
David Earle

"This was probably one of the most engaging and satisfying courses that I have been on. I was originally a bit nervous that I might not be able to keep up with the level of expected prerequisites. However, the course was pitched at the correct level for me, I gained a lot from it and we had an excellent trainer. I would be happy, if I had the opportunity, to attend another course by Wise Owl e.g. a Python or Power BI course."
PJ Bansel

"The VBA course was great. I learnt a lot in 3 days and didn't feel like I had to practice alone at all. There was sufficient support the whole time and could ask any questions I wanted without slowing the progress. The course was finished timely and we learnt more than expected. The course came well recommended and I am likely to recommend to anyone else who needs similar training."
Kieran Patel
Nationwide Building Society
"Our trainer explains things in a very clear and easy to follow manner. You can see the enthusiasm he has for the subject. He makes the overall experience very enjoyable and definitely maximised our learning capabilities. To be honest, it was a pleasure to run through the course with him for the two days!"
Alexia Sidders
MUFG Securities
"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

"Very informative course and the Trainer was able to adjust the course based on the experience within the learners."

Scott Sharp

Hugo Dunkason
Clearwater International
"Our trainer was professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The course was way better than I thought. The course covers from the most basic to advanced knowledge and I was provided with knowledge that I can use on a daily basis at work, which I think is totally worth it."
Kim Pham
Nationwide Building Society
"Definitely one of the best courses I've ever been on. Our trainer was fantastic and made it really enjoyable. The two days flew and being able to work alongside him when completing the examples was a brilliant way to learn. Appreciate the overview of the resources available and thank you once again!"
Nigel McCleary
The Phoenix Group
"A great trainer, very enthusiastic and very clear in his instructions and led at a good pace. Course content was great for a newbie to Power BI like myself. "
