Dave Jones
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Excellent experience of admin, training materials and our trainer was fantastic! A colleague recommended the training as we were really struggling to get started as a team with PowerBI. The training has provided us with the perfect starting point."
Dave Few
Macclesfield College
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course, the trainer was very knowledgeable. He broke the course down well and answered all the questions I had. Best training experience I've had, thank you. Required SSRS training and your company was highly rated on Google and on top searches."
Tom Evans
The Placement Group (TPG)
"Great course, trainer was excellent. Highly recommend - thank you."
Lisa Wilkins
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Loved it & love that we can keep all our work and are encouraged to use what we learn on any real application, doesn't have to be work related, the trainers just wants us to learn. Was super informative and all the trainers were so lovely."
Fionn Denvir
PwC
"This course was excellent! I had zero knowledge of Power BI when I joined this course and now, I will be developing some really awesome reports that answers some of the most important questions in the organization. I'd like to thank the instructor for his great teaching style and funny humour! For anyone thinking of taking this course, I would highly recommend this as the team at Wise Owl are a great bunch! Thanks a lot, guys!"
Qasim Awan
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"Good pace with relevant content, ensured all people were involved and up to date."
Phil Lawley
H&T Presspart
"This was a really good course, the best course I've taken in a long time and I am already applying what I've learnt."
Vanessa Todman
Department for Education
"The trainer was fabulous, and explained everything thoroughly."
Vicky Morris
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK Ltd
"I have attended a few PBI courses and we had by far the best tutor I've come across, his knowledge and teaching methods were amazing! He brought context to the lessons using examples to explain difficult DAX concepts by comparing and contrasting DAX formulas, which I found easier to digest. Also, we were all working together as a group so no one was left behind. The course was chosen based on the listed content, but our trainer made a valid point that all (Wise Owl) course instructors are encouraged to influence the course contents and tailor these when needed, I think this approach works well!"
Lola Beyioku
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"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
"It was highly interactive: having to type out and run the code alongside the trainer ensured that I learned how to do it (vs trying to absorb lots of theory from powerpoints!) Our trainer was very personable, and ensured that we stayed engaged throughout - not easy to do over a three day course delivered remotely!"
Myriam Telford
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"The course was very informative and the teacher was great. I had dreaded it, expecting a day of being read a PowerPoint presentation, but I found it interesting and engaging! "
Hannah Jenkins
Dransfield Properties Ltd
"Going into an excel course, I was a little hesitant and worried it would be too much information at once. However, our trainer was great from the get go. Very engaging, lots of small breaks in-between, felt I got lots of unanswered questions resolved and quick tricks to feel confident using the excel platform."
Aleisha Buckley-Henry
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. An excellent trainer who maintained a steady pace and customised the course to focus on the areas I needed most."
Faith Hazell
Hertfordshire County Council
"The trainer, is very good. He has excellent knowledge but his delivery style engaged from the start and, his approach of bite-sized pockets of demo, practice and Q&A meant a lot of skills and knowledge were covered throughout the day and it didn't feel like too much. Even his 'dad-jokes' contributed to the learning as it allowed focus at the key points :). Highly recommend."
Lesley Beckwith
Barnsley MBC
"An amazing trainer and really helped with engaging with the course. I loved the follow along aspect which made sure that we kept focus - I learned so much."
