"Course content was great, clear and easy to follow. A great instructor who kept the course engaging and moved at a good pace, with some good jokes cracked too."
Aurelia Heyworth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Trainer was fantastic at keeping us engaged with the content, and going above and beyond to answer any more detailed questions we could have."
Simon Pagden
Hertfordshire County 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
"The trainer was great with all questions asked and helped where she could. You don't find many people going away at night to find the answer."
Jamie Stewart
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"I love getting consulting or private lessons because we can schedule the hours due to the time zone difference (note: I live in Los Angeles). Also, we are able to cover a lot more in a short period. The draw back of private lessons versus a class setting is sometimes students ask really good questions that one might not think of…to help one formulate an understanding of the topics better. I’m a previous student. However, I originally learned about the class from Wise Owl You Tube VBA tutorials. Wise owl has very structured course material and exercises that is very good…especially from a student learner point of view."

"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."
Jonathan Bibby
Adidas UK
"I really enjoyed the course, I learnt some new short-cuts that I will definitely be using going forward. Our trainer was very polite and helpful throughout the day and very patient with the group with some being slower than others. Overall very impressed and will be recommending Wise Owl Training to others. I wanted to understand excel better, I’ve been using excel for years and stuck in old habits with a lot of things that have been made easier eg. Filters, tables, sum."
Amanda Lanchester
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"A really enthusiastic and engaging trainer. She took what can be a dry topic and kept our attention throughout - really enjoyed it!"
Lewis Paling
Wurth Elektronik
"Really enjoyed the course, trainer was very helpful and approachable - I learned lots of shortcuts/refreshed my memory - really enjoyable (not often you say that about excel!!!)"
Alex Mason
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"Good pace, very informative and useful. Good communication before/during & step-by-step resources. Thank you."
Stephanie Hughes
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Our trainer was amazing and I have a much better understanding of DAX. So many things I now know that I will use going forward (the Italian way). ;) Thanks, William."
William Walker
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The course was very well taught & it was the clear that the trainer was very knowledgeable and had lots of experience. Teaching online was great as the instructor could clearly see what we were doing on the Remote Desktop. Plenty of breaks which was good as too much information too quickly would normally cause a headache! Chose fast track SQL to learn as much as possible in a short space of time. Glad to have learnt parts from both intro to SQL and advanced SQL course, definitely made the most of our time."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass 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
"Really good course and content. A brilliant trainer who made sure she covered everything we required. Checked in on our knowledge base, supportive and guided everyone through the tasks at hand with thorough explanations as she talked us through the exercises."
Vicky Brooks
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Apart from really enjoying the course, I did gain a lot of insight into how I currently use Excel and how I should use it. The course exercises are good to practice on."
Mike Walsh
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"The course was very good. Extremely useful for my job role, the trainer was very informative and I came away feeling a lot more confident than when I started. Thanks again."
Scott Quarmby
Network Plus
"Our trainer delivered a great course with information specific to where we needed support within PowerBI. He made the information clear and easy to understand."
Matthew Fielding
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"Trainer was excellent at explaining and teaching, friendly and helpful. Also good flow of material and progression of topics. I also think it was a good idea to check technical set-up before the course."
Michaela Hoffmannova
