Terrie Hall
Volumatic Ltd
"The VBA course was great. I learnt a lot in 3 days and didn't feel like I had to practice alone at all. There was sufficient support the whole time and could ask any questions I wanted without slowing the progress. The course was finished timely and we learnt more than expected. The course came well recommended and I am likely to recommend to anyone else who needs similar training."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the training course. The material was both comprehensive and practical. An excellent trainer who was highly skilled in addressing all of our questions! I’ve previously taken training through WiseOwl and would highly recommend."
Francesca Birkby
MUFG Securities
"Our trainer was great, explaining each step at speed to match our understanding. Also taking time to explain more basic stuff that may not have strictly been in the course, but making it easier to follow/understand. I learnt a lot."
Brian Lawrence
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Excellent course for me as a relative beginner/novice to both SQL and Report Builder. An excellent trainer, friendly and patient to deal with any issues. Very knowledgeable on the course subjects, offering clear and concise explanations throughout. Adaptable to deal with any questions with easy-to-follow answers/examples."
Paul Ash
Hertfordshire County Council
"I cannot fault the course or trainer. It was the best professional training I've ever received."
Justin Cowley
Derby Homes Ltd
"Great trainer. Pace of course was brilliant and learnt a lot. Really useful for expanding my skill set."
Kristin McIntosh
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"Course was engaging as we had to complete the work ourself, rather than just watch someone else do it. Our trainer was very enthusiastic and passionate about Power BI, which also helped enhance the experience."
Callum Smith
The Phoenix Group
"Our trainer made the course fun, engaging and interesting. All modules covered were well explained and the examples created very helpful in understanding how we can make a start with Power BI. The course came recommended from a colleague."
Michael Newman
Caisson iO
"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 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
"Our trainer was very engaging and worked the often tricky format of an online classroom, very well. Plenty of interaction with attendees kept things interesting and avoided 'lecturing' type issues I've encountered with other training courses in the past. Course content felt relevant and applicable to my work and I learnt a lot!"
