"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
"Trainer was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject, and able to answer any question I had. The course was delivered at an appropriate speed, ensuring that no one was left behind."
Charlotte Jackson
Sellafield Ltd
"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
"Engagement and guidance from our trainer was amazing. One of the best courses I have attended in terms of delivery."
Michelle Wayte
Marley Ltd
"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)
"The trainer was brilliant and I learnt a lot - thank you."
Sarosh Sethna
Sellafield Ltd
"A great trainer and very patient when trying to get us all set up. Think it can be difficult to gauge an audience when you are doing a group session, however our trainer was very engaging, supportive and delivered the course at a good pace."
Daljit Patel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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)
"The tutor was lovely and very friendly. The course covered all topics but also was an opportunity to ask questions and look at some areas more than others."
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The course was really good and really well delivered, as always. The trainer made the whole experience very enjoyable. I was looking for something to replace VBA in the long term. I'm not sure Office Scripts is quite ready to do this yet but I think the groundwork has been laid and I look forward to future developments."
Philip Wood
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Great course. Really personable trainer. Good content, delivered clearly."
Rachel Brown
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The trainer, was brilliant, really informative. Useful learning the processes and she had a great way of conveying the learning. I was a last minute addition to the course. I wasn't aware of Wise Owl but I will be researching and looking out for future courses."
Adam Goodall
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I really enjoyed the course, the support getting ready in advance making sure my computer was compatible, all the way through to the help and support on the course, was excellent, An excellent tutor. My manager suggested the course and she was really impressed by the support, even setting up the computer a few days before"
Andy Stacey
Scania (Great Britian) Ltd
"Really enjoyed the course and the trainer managed to keep me engaged throughout. Explanations and training material were really good and it was great to be able to take these examples away as reminders."
Marie Kohler
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Very good trainer, course content was at a good pace."
Sarah Goodwin
PwC
"I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was the first excel course I’ve ever been on that was pitched at completely the right level. The tutor was very knowledgeable and took time to answer any queries we had. She checked in with us on our existing knowledge and then built on it. The practice tasks and the materials you go away with will mean I have the ability to regain knowledge on any tasks I don’t immediately start using. The snacks were also appreciated!"
Hazel Kimmitt
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK Ltd
"Really enjoyed it."
Gary Woodcock
Wurth Elektronik
"The paperwork was received within time, and the training covered everything as described and what was required - doing online was excellent, everything went smoothly - would recommend to others."
Debbie Bernard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I thought the course was excellent - well structured, thorough and engaging with good use of worked examples throughout. The manual is very thorough and I appreciate the quality of the physical edition (and the lovely pen!)"
Callum Kirk
Sellafield Ltd
"A fantastic trainer who puts you at ease and is very knowledgeable and personable. It was a pleasure to spend the two days training and I would highly recommend anyone to this course."
