"The trainer taught this VBA course with enthusiasm and explained everything in detail and constantly offered help when needed. I feel confident in VBA after this training course."
Jessie Nelligan
Sellafield Ltd
"Another fab course provided by Wise Owl. The trainer was lovely, very helpful and super knowledgeable. Course content was great and covered lots of topics. Really nice venue, and great lunch choices!"
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"Really liked our trainer who was a great explainer - keep it up!"
Benedict Summers
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"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
"I really liked the trainer and he made everyone feel capable and welcome. The way the course ran was manageable and although there was a lot of content, the course never felt overwhelming."
James Hodgson
Sellafield Ltd
"Our trainer was very engaging and supportive throughout the session. She had no issue with me asking questions or asking to have things repeated - it was encouraged! The booklets were useful for further reference after the course which allowed me to use my knowledge gained in the work place. I am looking forward to completing my Advanced course at a later date!"
Megan Good
Kent Police
"Great trainer and though I use excel everyday, it is amazing how much you can still learn. Appreciative of the course content and the way it was made enjoyable. More so, I am already employing the techniques I have learnt, to improve upon what I thought I was pretty good at..!!"
Roger Cameron
Jollyes
"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
"Thoroughly enjoyed the two days that we spent with the instructor! He was incredibly enthusiastic and seemed to thrive from the enthusiasm that we showed. His wealth of knowledge on the subject of VBA, the ease to which he could write it, and finally how he was able to deliver, made for a very impressive display! Would highly recommend."
Nathan Simmonds
ReAssure UK Services Limited
"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)
"This was more of a refresher course for me after not having used Excel in a decade and yet I honestly learned a lot. Great course and delivery as always :)"
Izzy Dhamdusdi
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)
"Our trainer was very punctual, arriving early to set up and ensure we had a smoothly run day. The course was very well thought out and delivered perfectly. Working in finance results in lots of Excel spreadsheets. The team only know what they have learnt themselves over the years, and the training allows us to raise everyone's game and give insights into functionality, they wouldn't otherwise have knowledge of."
Turkay Seyis
Jollyes
"Very good trainer, course content was at a good pace."
Sarah Goodwin
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"I enjoyed the course and I thought that our trainer was fantastic. He delivered the training in a very structured manner and took the time to explain the use cases and context behind the different functions and formatting techniques. It was also great to bounce some personal excel issues off of him and get solutions."
Kieran Walton
Two Circles
"Great teacher, who explained things thoroughly, thank you."
Hakon Hardrade
Operational Solutions Ltd
"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
"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
"Our trainer was engaging, friendly, professional, helpful and informative."
Terrie Hall
Volumatic 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."
