"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."

"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"I really enjoyed the course. Thank you for all the additional information and the videos you have available. I almost chose the beginner course but after a great chat with one of your trainers, I think I correctly chose the advanced course. I've also had great feedback from other employees at my company who have also taken a course with Wise Owl. Great staff at every point through the journey."
Kyle Anabossi
Hoist Finance
"The trainer was highly engaging, very knowledgeable and the concepts were communicated concisely and clearly."
Hugo Dunkason
Clearwater International
"Great course content, booklet is really helpful and nicely printed. Trainer was really helpful and engaging. Thanks again."
Vickesh Patel
Clearwater International
"Really enjoyed the course, it had so so many examples that are going to be really easy to refer back to. I enjoyed breaking things down to the understanding of why something works, thanks!"
Holly Fry
The Phoenix Group
"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
"Our trainer was very knowledgeable and engaging. The course was run at a suitable pace for the group. It was clear that despite big updates to the power automate application in recent weeks, great effort had been made to update content and ensure it was up to speed on how the updated power automate worked, including being prepared for bugs that are present in the new version."
Adam Tranter
The Phoenix Group
"Fantastic course, well delivered and very engaging!"
Suzie Beith
The Phoenix Group
"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 brilliant. Pacing was great. As a company we've used Wise Owl multiple times before. Every course they've run has been fantastic."
Mary Groutage
Sucden Financial Limited
"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
The Phoenix Group
"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
"Great course! Our trainer was excellent in his delivery. Content was great and he was happy to answer off course points."
Scott Sharp
The Phoenix Group
"Our trainer was great! He had the right level of enthusiasm and great knowledge of all aspects of Power BI and how it links to other more familiar tools. I was really worried about the remote aspect of the training, feeling like I wouldn't get as much out of it but I actually think I prefer it to being onsite! You have more of a direct focus with the trainer and they can see what you're doing so clearly and quickly. If we do more, I'm voting for remote!"
Alice Dovey
The Phoenix Group
"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
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course. A great teacher who didn't overcomplicate anything which I was a bit surprised by, as when you think of anything related to coding you'd assume it requires a lot of brain power which can be a bit overwhelming, but that wasn't the case at all. Would love to come back for another course. Thanks!"
Syed Hasnain
Sucden Financial Limited
"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
"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. "
