"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
"Fantastic tailored Power BI training. Our trainer was brilliant, knowledgeable and was very patient with us and so supportive of our different levels of knowledge. This course was tailored for a small group of users with mixed Power BI knowledge and WiseOwl were able to accommodate our needs, with no problem at all. Session was received really well and wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
Karen Allen
Halton Borough Council
"I really enjoyed the course and the way it was set out - one of the most enjoyable and useful training sessions I've done. A lot of content was covered at a good pace with options to ask questions. I really like the way the course is interactive and easy to keep up."
Zahra Bashir
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Trainer was very enthusiastic and engaging. He was very pleasant and also willing to spend more, or less time, on whatever we felt was the most valuable for our jobs. This flexibility was really appreciated."
Callum Morley
PwC
"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
"The day was great, really got us thinking and we had an absolutely fab trainer! Recommended by a colleague."
Gavin Kenny
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
"Overall a great course, the small number of participants made it more welcoming. The course booklets is probably one of the best if not better course materials I've ever received on a course."
Mick Gonsalves
Cambridgeshire Constabulary
"The trainer was amazing, he really knew his stuff, was interesting in the way he presented things (even when the topic could have easily been boring) and went above and beyond."
Joe Sanders-Wilde
Hounslow Council
"Fantastic trainer and delivered the course to a very high standard, I learnt a lot from the course which will make my role much easier and quicker."
Marie Lea
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
Lucy Ellams
Halton Borough Council
"I found the course very useful. The activities will be useful for future reference when implementing some of the content. The trainer was very patient and made the course easy to follow and enjoyable."
Sarah Clarke
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"This was probably one of the most engaging and satisfying courses that I have been on. I was originally a bit nervous that I might not be able to keep up with the level of expected prerequisites. However, the course was pitched at the correct level for me, I gained a lot from it and we had an excellent trainer. I would be happy, if I had the opportunity, to attend another course by Wise Owl e.g. a Python or Power BI course."
PJ Bansel
Dale Underwriting Partners
"Our trainer was so easy to follow, clear with his instructions and very patient. I liked the way the course was segmented, with short breaks. A great experience, thanks!"
Kate Joynson
East Cheshire NHS Trust
"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
"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"I enjoyed the course and I thought that our trainer was fantastic. He delivered the training in a very structured manner and took the time to explain the use cases and context behind the different functions and formatting techniques. It was also great to bounce some personal excel issues off of him and get solutions."
Kieran Walton
Two Circles
"I enjoyed the 3-day course, I found all elements beneficial. I have done a Power BI course before with learning tree and can honestly say I found this more useful, and I feel more confident with Power BI than going into the course. The course was well structured, the units were well balanced through the 3 days. The trainer was the star of the show, it was very clear he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He explained each unit in a way which was easy to grasp and practise. He also did a very good job explaining the under workings of DAX to help us understand what was going on in the background. What I liked most was the movie data set we worked with throughout the whole course. Most data sets are related to sales, companies etc. I found working with a movie data set more interesting and engaging. Great three days, I would happily study with Wise Owl again."
Jonathan Hernandez
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Really enjoyed the course content and 1-1 interaction with trainer met my additional learning needs. The Trainer was patient and enabled me to practice on exercises that l could use in my work. "
Joanne Brown-Barnes
Network Plus
"Absolutely the best tutor I've had in any capacity thus far. Very charismatic and great jokes to keep the class awake and going, through an intense program. Keeping an eye on our screens so he's able to help if anyone has an issue - couldn't ask for better."
Ramzi Tallaa
PwC
"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."
