"I found the day very informative and set at an appropriate level for me. Plenty of skills for me to use going forward, already shared some aspects with colleagues."
Paul Fowler
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"The course content was really relevant for me to put into practise through spreadsheets I already have. The course trainer explained thoroughly, was patient and helpful throughout, felt very at ease asking questions when I was unsure."
Tara Boyle
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"I think the course was great and the trainer's approach/personality really helped make it feel like a friendly and encouraging environment. I really enjoyed his energy and a lot of the little tips/tricks that were shared along the way, such as things like Alt H O I, Ctrl shift L, and many more that everyone in the room could really take away and use every day. My personal favourite takeaway and learning was power query, which was awesome and I'm already starting to think of ways to implement this in my day-to-day. Thanks so much for a super couple of days!"
George Salter

"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
"Knowledgeable trainer and useful information included in the sessions. "
Hannah Presswell

"The course was interactive and fun, not boring. The instructor was great, explained things really well and had a lot of patience when going over things a couple of times."
Sarah Thrower

"A great trainer, thorough and kind."
Lauren Dunne
Landauer Group
"I really enjoyed the course, I learnt some new short-cuts that I will definitely be using going forward. Our trainer was very polite and helpful throughout the day and very patient with the group with some being slower than others. Overall very impressed and will be recommending Wise Owl Training to others. I wanted to understand excel better, I’ve been using excel for years and stuck in old habits with a lot of things that have been made easier eg. Filters, tables, sum."
Amanda Lanchester
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience following the recent advanced Excel training session conducted for our team. From start to finish our trainer's expertise and teaching style exceeded all our expectations. His deep knowledge of Excel is truly impressive as is his ability to convey complex concepts in an understandable and engaging manner, which made the training not only informative but also enjoyable. He demonstrated a remarkable talent for breaking down intricate functions and formulas, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their starting skill level, could grasp the material confidently. The practical examples and hands-on exercises provided were incredibly helpful, allowing us to immediately apply what we learned to real-world scenarios. This training has undoubtedly equipped us with valuable skills and new insights that will significantly enhance our productivity and efficiency. Thank you for this amazing training session! It has truly been valuable!"

Marco Antonelli

"I really enjoyed my Excel course. The fact that the course was interactive and we followed along made it a lot more engaging than just being spoken to. Highly recommend!"
Laura Gallimore

"The trainer was great with all questions asked and helped where she could. You don't find many people going away at night to find the answer."
Jamie Stewart
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"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."
Clare Taylor
London Borough of Lambeth
"Excellent Course. Trainer was eloquent and explained subject matter very well and was also very patient."
Anna Kulpa
Landauer Group
"Thoroughly enjoyed this course and I found it all useful. I went into the course already thinking I knew a lot about VBA having self trained myself a couple of years back - however, I learnt so many efficiencies and new methods that I look forward to trying out my learning in new tasks over the next weeks and months. A shout out also to our trainer who I thought was not only very knowledgeable but also a genuinely lovely person. He really wanted us to get the most out of the course and I loved how engaged he was with us a group at all times of the day (including lunch)."
Sean Rowley
Nationwide Building Society
"The trainer was excellent, responded really well to questions, was informative and knowledgeable."
Rebecca Gardner
