"Our trainer was professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The course was way better than I thought. The course covers from the most basic to advanced knowledge and I was provided with knowledge that I can use on a daily basis at work, which I think is totally worth it."
Kim Pham
Nationwide Building Society
"The trainer was fabulous, and explained everything thoroughly."
Vicky Morris
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK Ltd
"The trainer was amazing- she provided detailed examples and assisted right away when in need and clearly enthusiastic about the content and as a result made it fun!"
Luke Witchell
Airport Coordination Limited
"I just wanted to highlight the excellent job our trainer did leading the course. Despite it being fully remote, it was an engaging session where everyone felt they could speak up, ask their questions and get the help they needed. I almost felt like we were all sitting in a room together. It was a friendly atmosphere, and I really enjoyed my 2 days. Our trainer was knowledgeable, open and friendly - thank you! "
Ellie Hortop

"Tutor was friendly and very knowledgeable. Kept us all engaged and answered any queries we had of our own (as a company) and advised alternatives for what wasn't possible."
Victoria Ratcliffe
Dean Group International
"The trainer was excellent, responded really well to questions, was informative and knowledgeable."
Rebecca Gardner
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"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

Linda Holland

"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
"Really good course and content. A brilliant trainer who made sure she covered everything we required. Checked in on our knowledge base, supportive and guided everyone through the tasks at hand with thorough explanations as she talked us through the exercises."
Vicky Brooks
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Our trainer was great, explaining each step at speed to match our understanding. Also taking time to explain more basic stuff that may not have strictly been in the course, but making it easier to follow/understand. I learnt a lot."
Brian Lawrence
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Our trainer was great. Very patient throughout, went at a pace which suited everyone's needs and skillset, which was mixed in our session so not straightforward. The course was insightful, every element explained clearly and I certainly learnt new skills and a more fundamental understanding of Excel. Colleague asked where we required help as a team, and gave that brief to Wise Owl."
Matthew Grove
Landauer Group
"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
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"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
"The trainer was very knowledgeable with genuine enthusiasm for Excel."
Abigail Stefanowicz
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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!"
