"Really helpful course, delivered in a way that ensured we were all starting from the same point and that we all left each stage at the same point. Very, very useful course with a great tutor."
Joseph Gaskin
Liverpool Health Partners
"Excellent really informative, knowledgeable, helpful and kind trainer, from start to finish and I would highly recommend."
Britney Pettifer

"The trainer was very engaging and gave clear explanations."
Daniel Brierley
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK 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."
Madeleine Lewis
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"Apart from really enjoying the course, I did gain a lot of insight into how I currently use Excel and how I should use it. The course exercises are good to practice on."
Mike Walsh
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"The training session was a bit of an eye opener for me in terms of what can be done behind the scenes in Power BI e.g., with data cleaning and setting up parameters. Even though I am already interested in learning this stuff, I imagine it would be easy to deliver that kind of material in a very monotonous and uninteresting way, but the presentation style was really fun and lively which made it a lot easier I think to absorb the lessons. It’s also great to have paper copies of the manuals! Thanks again and I hope to take you up on your offer of sending queries your way, I am sure I will."
Simon Hayes
Hounslow Council
"Good balance of material and application making the course easy to digest. Number of new elements not aware of as Power BI constantly developing, so good way of also keeping up to date. Very knowledgeable trainer!"
Kieth Denison
Oxley Developments
"Very interesting course and learned a lot of new skills around DAX. Just need to put them into practice! Our trainer was also amazing - very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer with multiple different suggestions. "
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Our trainer was amazing!!!"
Olivia Ciubotaru

"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. His enthusiasm for the subject and product was infectious."
Vince Baglole
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Our trainer is so engaging and full of enthusiasm and support, never met a trainer like him!"
Rose Kenyon
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"An incredible teacher, who across the 3 days was very entertaining and engaging. His way of explaining and breaking down the course content made it easy to follow and understand. The content was everything we all needed to know and I was able to see how I could apply what I had learnt into my own projects. I came away excited to put my new knowledge into action."
Rachael Kerrigan
Adidas UK
"An excellent trainer who explained everything in detail and had plenty of patience! The course material was very good, the booklet will come in handy now I'm back in the office and getting used to using Power BI."
Lynne Smith
Manchester Metropolitan University
"Excellent course/venue, trainer explained clearly and nothing was too much trouble."
Matt Austin
Singleton Birch Ltd
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"Thought the course was excellent. All the resources were very good e.g. the handout, pen drive with all the examples. Course content was all relevant. Was a very quick pace but I found that good. Our trainer was great too."
Rachel Taylor
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"A really good trainer and appreciated him talking through stuff, even when we went off on a tangent."
Matthew Barnes
Signature Senior Lifestyle Ltd
"Engagement and guidance from our trainer was amazing. One of the best courses I have attended in terms of delivery."
Michelle Wayte
Marley Ltd
"I have attended a few PBI courses and we had by far the best tutor I've come across, his knowledge and teaching methods were amazing! He brought context to the lessons using examples to explain difficult DAX concepts by comparing and contrasting DAX formulas, which I found easier to digest. Also, we were all working together as a group so no one was left behind. The course was chosen based on the listed content, but our trainer made a valid point that all (Wise Owl) course instructors are encouraged to influence the course contents and tailor these when needed, I think this approach works well!"
Lola Beyioku
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"I found the course very informative, the trainer was helpful and knowledgeable. The course manual is a great resource to enable us to apply the skills learnt after the course. A colleague recommended the course."
