"Great course. The trainer was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. Online course format worked well and the way the trainer viewed our screens meant he was able to give us hints/advice if we'd made any typos/errors, without holding the other delegates up."
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"The trainer was highly engaging, very knowledgeable and the concepts were communicated concisely and clearly."
Hugo Dunkason
Clearwater International
"The course contained sufficient content for a good introduction to VBA, was well organised (e.g. with sending out training manuals and organising pre-course checks) and came with high quality training materials. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and created an encouraging environment for delegates to share ideas and ask questions. He also added in lots of "tips and tricks", which meant everyone learnt a lot, even if they had some degree of familiarity with VBA going in. Wise Owl had delivered other online trainings to Sellafield staff, so came recommended by colleagues."
Alex Cunningham
Sellafield Ltd
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I found the trainer to be very informative and helpful throughout the entire course. I would thoroughly recommend your company should further training courses of this nature be required. The course was conducted at a pace that suited the entire group, so that even the slower members were able to get the most out of the training session."
Russell Neale
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"Great teacher, who explained things thoroughly, thank you."
Hakon Hardrade
Operational Solutions Ltd
"The trainer was fabulous, and explained everything thoroughly."
Vicky Morris
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK Ltd
"Being on a course with staff from my team made sure that the course was tailor made for us, it was great when we could ask questions especially how this training would work for our own excel workbooks. The trainer was very helpful to explain using our work examples. We had heard good things about Wise Owl, and as we had recently completed the intermediate course, it made good sense to continue with the same provider."
Debbie Bernard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I was very impressed with the range of content covered, especially given that the course was only a day long. The course material was clearly explained with lots of helpful exercises, allowing me to cement my learnings in a practical environment. Additionally, I appreciate the emphasis placed on explaining the best way to apply various formulae in practice (for example, by explaining the benefits of index,match and xlookup over a vlookup)."
Joel Bernbaum
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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)
"Trainer was very enthusiastic and engaging. He was very pleasant and also willing to spend more, or less time, on whatever we felt was the most valuable for our jobs. This flexibility was really appreciated."
Callum Morley
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Trainer was very friendly and answered all of our questions."
Katie Hindle
Kepak Group
"Our trainer was very supportive of the group and the course was well laid out. The provision of the materials and exercises as a soft copy helps reinforce the learning process and is essential."
Ozkan Cevat
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Really enjoyed the course, trainer was very helpful and approachable - I learned lots of shortcuts/refreshed my memory - really enjoyable (not often you say that about excel!!!)"
Alex Mason
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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
"Loved the really quick tips that were shared - I am already using these fast wins! The trainer was engaging and knowledgeable and really tailored the training to what the delegates needed/wanted, without missing out the already planned content."
Georgina Holmes
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Excellent really informative, knowledgeable, helpful and kind trainer, from start to finish and I would highly recommend."
Britney Pettifer
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Good course. Presented well and a good amount of exercises."
Steven Collins
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"So many additional tips and tricks from our trainer, as well as the core course content. Really useful and a big eye opener to what's possible! Thank you."
Philippa Reynolds
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was taught very well with useful information on key topics and some excellent exercises to actually put the skills into practice. The trainer was highly knowledgeable and went at a good speed, to ensure everything was clearly explained. Others in my organisation had attended the course and found it useful and taught well. Many thanks."
