"I found the course very usefully, the trainer was engaging, friendly and kept the pace of the teaching going but including everyone through out. A pleasant and informative day."
Susan Buick
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"The course contained sufficient content for a good introduction to VBA, was well organised (e.g. with sending out training manuals and organising pre-course checks) and came with high quality training materials. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and created an encouraging environment for delegates to share ideas and ask questions. He also added in lots of "tips and tricks", which meant everyone learnt a lot, even if they had some degree of familiarity with VBA going in. Wise Owl had delivered other online trainings to Sellafield staff, so came recommended by colleagues."
Alex Cunningham
Sellafield Ltd
"Great content in the course. We were given the opportunity to perform exercises which personally I think is the best way to learn. Our trainer was always on hand to answer any questions and made the course interesting and knew when it was time to break! Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, thanks."
Avril Ball
Adidas UK
"Really enjoyed the course and delivery style, which was fun and engaging. Our trainer really made everyone feel comfortable and captivated interest with various examples. It has given me some new useful tools for both in and outside of work."
Simon Hayes
Hounslow Council
"The delivery of the course was really well paced, great content and I learnt a lot over the two days. My trainer was professional, engaging, knowledgeable and had a very good teaching technique. I would highly recommend and would love to do more of his courses. The training material provided is appreciated so I can go back and keep practicing."
Hollie Blackburn
Volac International Ltd
"Our trainer was very knowledgeable and presented the course very well. It was easy to follow along and learn what was being taught."
Andrew Kilby
H&T Presspart
"The class size was ideal. The trainer provided a thoughtful and entertaining experience, and was clearly well prepared. Remotely signing in was seamless. I needed proper training on SQL, having had to self-teach for several months."
Alexander Mason
Capel Manor College
"Our trainer was amazing! She explained everything so well and had no problem re-explaining things for those that needed extra help. She made the 7 hours fly by. I feel like I've learned so much around excel and will be using my new knowledge going forward. Thank you!"
Kaylee Akerman
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"An excellent trainer and it was definitely the best online course I have ever attended. Recommendation from previous attendees."
Gill Lee
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service
"It was a great course, very informative, and our trainer was great at being flexible to the group's ability and needs. Would highly recommend."
Kirsty Trent
Department for Education
"Engagement and guidance from our trainer was amazing. One of the best courses I have attended in terms of delivery."
Michelle Wayte
Marley Ltd
"An amazing course, really provided clarity with the content and I am really looking forward to putting it into practice. Course tutor was really lovely, patient and knowledgeable. Starting to look at further courses with your company for power automate and DAX :) I knew what Power BI could do but had no idea where to start! Now I have attended this course I am confident I could put practices into place that will make my life easier and put capacity back into my diary."
Toni-Marie Norman
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"A lot crammed in to three days, but the pacing was good with plenty of breaks. The opportunity to follow along with the remote connection was excellent, knowing we had exact copies of the environment and access to all the working files. Support before (connection check) and the printed documents were a great touch. Our trainer was genuinely happy to be teaching us, knew what he was talking about and was great with all our questions."
Mark Horton
Department for Education
"Our trainer is so engaging and full of enthusiasm and support, never met a trainer like him!"
Rose Kenyon
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"It was a great introductory course at a good pace. I had no prior SQL knowledge and found it really useful. It's good that we could copy over the exercises at the end of the course to enable us to practice in our own time. Our trainer was very friendly and approachable"
Cheryl Walker
APSE Manchester
"The informal chats and lunch we had throughout the day helped make the course really engaging. Given it was a basic overview I feel I now have a really good grasp of Power BI to move forward with. Colleagues had done the course before and said how good it was."
Sophia Sharpley
Sage Publishing
"From the moment we engaged Wise Owl they were professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and not pushy. The pre-set-up was easy and the team were very responsive with all communication we sent. Our trainer was fantastic, engaging, patient, funny, and adapted to our level of experience. I couldn't be happier with the service I got. I was recommended this course from another team in my business, and I can see why they recommended it. I would recommend Wise Owl and will hopefully find another reason to use you again!"
Roberta Liberti
BUPA
"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
"A great trainer, always keeping people engaged. So knowledgeable and great at explaining in a way that everyone could relate to."
Suzanne Foody
Signature Senior Lifestyle Ltd
"Thank you so much to our trainer who provided the training in an engaging and understandable way. Outside of the course content he was also invaluable supporting the team with issues and personalised help. We've used Wise Owl a number of times for training now."
