"Brilliant course for a beginner, especially with the course manual provided - really useful when working on anything Power BI. Our trainer was absolutely brilliant with us all, judged the pace perfectly and was happy to go on small tangents when questions were asked. "
Mark Bird

"A great trainer, engaging throughout. I loved the tidbits about keyboard shortcuts too."
Jeanne Childs
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our trainer for his patience and kindness throughout the course. I truly enjoyed the sessions, which were delivered at a smooth and steady pace, making the content easy to absorb and understand."
Jubril Aminu
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Our trainer was absolutely amazing, engaging and understandable! His knowledge of Power BI was fantastic, and I truly learnt so much and would recommend to anyone looking to better their knowledge of Power BI. Course content was exceptional. This course was great and the trainer made it even better."
Jonathan Bibby

"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
"An excellent trainer. He explained everything really well and also made the subject of the course really interesting."
Tina Samways
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"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
"I was lucky enough to have 1 to 1 training. The trainer was so helpful, patient and I really learnt a lot. Also really enjoyed the course. The trainer simplified the commands and formulas in a way that no longer made me scared of excel!"
Mary Griffin
Network Plus
"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
Lucy Ellams

Lisa Wilkins

"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

"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
"Really enjoyed the course. The trainer made the experience even more enjoyable with his humour and was very likeable."
Hannah Pavlou
Great Western Railway (GWR)
"My tutor was extremely good, very detailed and adapted the lesson, where necessary, to match my ability. I even asked if we could include a task where I would need to troubleshoot DAX to see what was missing and this was included with ease. Thanks again!"
Scott Castro
Addleshaw Goddard
"Tutor was friendly and very knowledgeable. Kept us all engaged and answered any queries we had of our own (as a company) and advised alternatives for what wasn't possible."
Victoria Ratcliffe
Dean Group International
"Another excellent course delivered by Wise Owl. Thank you. Wise Owl content is always delivered in a manner that enthuses and motivates; making often complicated subjects much easier to decipher and digest. I will be using Wise Owl again."

"Lovely and enthusiastic trainer who remained upbeat and engaging throughout."
Louisa Martin

"The course was really useful and informative. I liked how it was interactive, and you could code/experiment as you went along. I also found the exercises a useful way to continue to solidify what you learnt."
Liz Gabriel

"The course was delivered at the right pace and covered a sufficient level of details. Our trainer was excellent at explaining the functionality as we worked through each exercise."
