"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
"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
"The trainer was highly engaging, very knowledgeable and the concepts were communicated concisely and clearly."
Hugo Dunkason
Clearwater International
"I thoroughly enjoyed the training course. The material was both comprehensive and practical. An excellent trainer who was highly skilled in addressing all of our questions! I’ve previously taken training through WiseOwl and would highly recommend."
Francesca Birkby

"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson

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

"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!"

Sucden Financial Limited
"Fantastic course, well delivered and very engaging!"
Suzie Beith
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

"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
"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."
Lee Smith
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. "
Suzanne Cowan
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
"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
"Course was great and very engaging. Thought the trainer pitched it perfectly and made it a very enjoyable two days. Would highly recommended to others."
Patrick Camm
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
"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."
Madeleine Lewis
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"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
