"The course was fantastic; really helpful and the trainer made sure the course was fun and engaging. I've learnt invaluable skills which I'll be able to apply to my day to day work."
Ryan Edwards
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I really enjoyed the course. Thank you for all the additional information and the videos you have available. I almost chose the beginner course but after a great chat with one of your trainers, I think I correctly chose the advanced course. I've also had great feedback from other employees at my company who have also taken a course with Wise Owl. Great staff at every point through the journey."
Kyle Anabossi
Hoist Finance
"The trainer was very knowledgeable with genuine enthusiasm for Excel."
Abigail Stefanowicz
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Great course and customer service from Wise Owl throughout, from pre-course checks to the course itself. I had been given a new laptop from work and it was no trouble for the team at Wise Owl to promptly arrange a self check prior to my course. The course itself was very informative and trainer was patient and answered any questions we had. Thank you."
Emily Knight
Halton Borough Council
"A really engaging trainer who made the course enjoyable. The content was clear to follow, and we were provided with ample resources to aid us with our training and to take away to use in our own time. This course was recommended and used by my company in the past."
Madeleine Lewis
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"Very informative course with a great teacher. Would recommend to anyone starting out!"
Charlotte Turner
Kepak Group
"The course was fantastic as was our trainer, who made it interesting and easy to follow. The range of topics we covered was extensive and we were even able to ask for help around our own PBI issues. Couldn't recommend the course enough! We chose the course as it offered a wide range of topics from visualizations to DAX, which was great for us as a team with varied PBI experience."
Samuel Meadows
Adidas UK
"The course worked well across 2 days. It never felt like an information overload and the agenda was well paced. The trainer was brilliant and conducted himself in a professional and friendly manner. We were at ease during the session and everything clicked. I think this is a testament to our trainer."
Jaime Connelly
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust
"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."
Jess Dyer
CFC Underwriting
"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)
"Great course - exactly the right level for me. Fantastic trainer."
Sally Frost
Department for Education
"All good! I found Wise Owl through a google search about 10 years ago, but I can't remember what I searched for! We used you to deliver some training back then and came back to you this time."
Joanne Elcock
Rochdale BC
"Our trainer delivered an excellent course. He was very engaging and patient and always happy to answer our questions. It was generally a very relaxing online learning environment and the pace of the course was perfect. Content was interesting and it really felt we could apply the learnings to our work. Thanks!"
Gerard Nugent
Stroke Association
"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"A fantastic teacher, and extremely helpful and concise at breaking down difficult concepts."
Alex Morris
Cardinal Newman College
"Quite intensive with lots to learn but really good trainer and really good documentation."
Andy Dobby
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"The trainer was very informative and able to provide answers to any additional questions."
Emily Weston
MLCS3 Ltd
"Great course as always! Delivered well by our trainer, keeping at our pace and adapting to meet our requirements & questions."
Aron Bourne
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"Our trainer provided a clear structure for the 2 days and made what is complicated, easy to understand. He answered questions about our own data whilst delivering all the material."
Matthew Fielding
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun to work with. Much appreciated. I'll be putting what I've learned into practice right away. Thanks again!"
