"Our trainer was excellent at delivering the online course. He did a great job going through each stage and answering all our questions."
Omotayo Daramola
PwC
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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
"Great sessions, well paced, our trainer was great."
Akosua Bonsu
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The course was great! Our trainer was very engaging and patient with questions and he was enthusiastic throughout the day. All the tips and tricks were so useful and I am certainly going to use these in my job going forward. I am also very grateful to him for spending half of the lunch break with me helping me with a macro problem on a workbook that I use in my job. He took to time to go through the macros with me and explained how they worked. It was beyond what he was meant to do but it has helped my team out hugely by fixing it. During the course it was clear our trainer had a great deal of knowledge of Excel but helping me with the macro problem was amazing and he clearly knows Excel very well. The course also came highly recommended from colleagues."
Nina Witchell
PwC
"The trainer was highly engaging, very knowledgeable and the concepts were communicated concisely and clearly."
Hugo Dunkason
Clearwater International
"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
"Our trainer was absolutely brilliant and was very engaging and you could see how passionate he was about excel which then made me feel more passionate about excel! He made the course :)"
Katie Clements
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"It was incredible, the trainer was first class."
Ross McCarthy
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Our trainer was great. He made two days of excel fun and enjoyable (difficult task). Thank you so much! It was super helpful and will definitely improve my productivity going forwards."
Alice Foster
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
PwC
"Excellent really informative, knowledgeable, helpful and kind trainer, from start to finish and I would highly recommend."
Britney Pettifer
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"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 had a clear understanding of all the sections covered, as it was very well explained. An informative and well presented course."
Barbara Colquhoun
Syntor Fine Chemicals Ltd / Actylis
"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 whole experience was very positive. Clear pre-course communication and remote working assessment was great. An excellent trainer, interactive, positive and patient. Handled individual delegate issues quickly and without causing undue delay to others."
Mario Yeomans
Sellafield Ltd
"Very good course, relatable examples."
