"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was just right as it was brisk but I could keep up. There were plenty of interesting topics and I was never just sat listening, I was always involved. My manager attended the course a few years ago and recommended it."
Scott Richardson
Newcastle Building Society
"Great course content, booklet is really helpful and nicely printed. Trainer was really helpful and engaging. Thanks again."
Vickesh Patel
Clearwater International
"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
"I was impressed by our trainer's thoroughness - any questions that he could not answer on the spot, he took away and answered the next day, having found workarounds to even the most obscure of questions we had for him! His pace of teaching and clarity was perfect, taking the stress out of learning new things."
Lisa Anastassiu
The Phoenix Group
"Really loved the course and we learnt so much!! Very easy to follow."
Sarah Underwood

"All good from my point of view, very happy with the training provided again. Have used Wise Owl for a number of courses now, always engaging trainers with good content so was happy to use again."
John Ensor
Montanaro Asset Management Ltd
"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
Dale Underwriting Partners
"A good introduction to Python. A very patient trainer who did a great job delivering and giving extra help when required. Many thanks."
Louise Moir
The Phoenix Group
"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
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"Great course! Our trainer was excellent in his delivery. Content was great and he was happy to answer off course points."
Scott Sharp

"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"A great trainer, his knowledge was amazing and he was really keen to help and make it relevant to us which was great! We were undecided between this and the three day intensive course but really happy we started on this course and can go away and do our own work on macros before moving on to the advance course!"
Grace Aspin-Radford
CFC Underwriting
"Great course, provided by a great trainer, who was really knowledgeable and was also happy to answer the many questions that I had."
Charlie Bruce
LGT Wealth Management UK LLP
"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
"Fantastic course with a fantastic trainer, who really went the extra mile and did an amazing job explaining coding concepts."
Nathaniel Sillett
Dale Underwriting Partners
"I enjoyed the interactive nature of the course, as personally, I find I learn best by actually carrying out the exercises, rather than just being shown. I also liked the repetition of the tasks, as this helped me learn the principles."
Tom Tuck
Macfarlanes LLP
"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
"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"

"Trainer was really good and had expansive knowledge of Power BI. The course went really well and was not made overly complicated, so was easy to understand."
