"Our trainer was great and made the course really interesting and engaging. We had some technical difficulties but these were all at our end, and everyone at Wise Owl was really helpful and patient in that respect - thank you!"
Michelle Ashworth
Rochdale BC
"I found the content really useful. Each topic was covered thoroughly and the pace was perfect to allow me to feel fully confident before moving on"
Sophie Smith
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"I enjoyed the course. The laptop set up was especially helpful as we could use practical examples and see the results for ourselves. I could see that we were all gaining confidence."
Natalie Yau
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"A great trainer, very attentive and made sure we were all able to grasp what was being taught. He took the time to make sure those with issues were supported. The course content was also very good, provided a very good overview of how we can use AI to improve productivity in the work we do. It helped to generate a lot of ideas and ways we could make improvements to our work. Overall, a great course and one I would recommend for those who have an interest in AI and want to get their foot in the door."
Sukhjeet Gill
Hounslow Council
"The online set up worked really well with the trainer being able to see what we were doing. I liked that the size of the class was small. The trainer was excellent at explaining things and kept me engaged. I think it's great we were able to copy the files and I can go away and look at the exercises and practice in my own time. I also loved that we saved so many scripts with the examples, as it will be really helpful to refresh my memory. The course manual is also really useful and will be my new bible. Thank you. Wise Owl were recommended by a colleague."
Helene Wardell
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board
"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
"A fantastic trainer who made sure everything was very clear and understood before moving to the next topic. The book you sent out has been genuinely helpful and I have kept it in my laptop bag for work and have already made additional use of it this morning."
Callum MacKay
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"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
"Really enjoyed the course. A brilliant trainer, who answered any and all questions and really brought the content to life."
Rebecca Kaur
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I really enjoyed the training and thought our trainer was fantastic at taking us through the content at the right pace, whilst also dealing with topics that came up ad hoc. This will really help us on our Power BI journey! We've used Wise Owl a few times now and find the course content and trainers to be excellent. Thank you!"
Richard Warren
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The trainer was brilliant and adjusted the course to the needs of everyone in the group. We managed to go through many more things than initially assumed. Thank you. Wise Owl was recommended to us by my previous manager and I will definitely consider using Wise Owl for any further development of my team."
Przemyslaw Brzek
TVS Supply Chain Solutions
"A great trainer, always keeping people engaged. So knowledgeable and great at explaining in a way that everyone could relate to."
Suzanne Foody
Signature Senior Lifestyle Ltd
"I really enjoyed how interactive and intuitive everything was. The use of the virtual desktop to connect to, kept me engaged and liked that it was not just reading or showing."
Bruce Forsman
PwC
"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 was great! He had the right level of enthusiasm and great knowledge of all aspects of Power BI and how it links to other more familiar tools. I was really worried about the remote aspect of the training, feeling like I wouldn't get as much out of it but I actually think I prefer it to being onsite! You have more of a direct focus with the trainer and they can see what you're doing so clearly and quickly. If we do more, I'm voting for remote!"
Alice Dovey
The Phoenix Group
"Great course. The trainer was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. Online course format worked well and the way the trainer viewed our screens meant he was able to give us hints/advice if we'd made any typos/errors, without holding the other delegates up."
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"A great trainer, very enthusiastic and very clear in his instructions and led at a good pace. Course content was great for a newbie to Power BI like myself. "
Suzanne Cowan
The Phoenix Group
"Great content in the course. We were given the opportunity to perform exercises which personally I think is the best way to learn. Our trainer was always on hand to answer any questions and made the course interesting and knew when it was time to break! Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, thanks."
Avril Ball
Adidas UK
"I was thoroughly impressed with the course overall. The pre check meeting was a great first impression to the course. Our instructor, was not only an amazing teacher but kept us all entertained and engaged over the 2 days. The course content and pace was perfect for someone like me with no experience of SQL and for those with a bit of experience. I would highly recommend. "
Eliza Edwards
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Excellent really informative, knowledgeable, helpful and kind trainer, from start to finish and I would highly recommend."
