"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
"Our trainer was brilliant! Kept the course at the right pace so everyone kept up and I thoroughly enjoyed the training course."
Graham Watters
The Phoenix Group
"Brilliant course for a beginner, especially with the course manual provided - really useful when working on anything Power BI. Our trainer was absolutely brilliant with us all, judged the pace perfectly and was happy to go on small tangents when questions were asked. "
Mark Bird
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
"Fantastic course, well delivered and very engaging!"
Suzie Beith
The Phoenix Group
"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
"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
"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
"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

"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"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
"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
"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
Stuart Wallace

"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 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
"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
"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
"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
"A really engaging trainer who made the course enjoyable. The content was clear to follow, and we were provided with ample resources to aid us with our training and to take away to use in our own time. This course was recommended and used by my company in the past."
