"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
"As always, Wise Owl delivered a fantastic course. Straightforward to follow and came away feeling like I've learnt a lot. The paper guide is always appreciated too as it's easier to reference."
Gary Brittain
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Very good course tailored to our specific requirements."
Mike Hughes
Cheshire East Council
"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
"This has been the best training I have done, an incredible trainer and I was engaged the whole 2 days."
Lewis Johnson
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"Booking and course information were all communicated well. The venue and pace was good. There was a lot of content to cover (re-caps were most welcomed). The trainer showed patience throughout and was able to answer all questions."
Vicky Kearney
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The trainer was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. The energy was kept high and friendly. I have attended a previous Wise Owl SSIS course and have referred back to the notes many times. Great content!"
Gary Stroud
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The content of the course was great and was supported by an extensive manual which I am grateful for. The course is really well organised and I loved that the trainees were applying live what they were learning using the remote desktop. I also loved that the trainer could see on his screen what we were doing and give us live feedback. I have seen how Devon County Council has used Power BI to share their traffic collision data in a visual way, and we would like to achieve something similar in Plymouth. The course is one step forward towards it."
Angelique Kergosien
Plymouth City Council
"I found the course really useful and easy to follow. It was ideal for someone who knew very little about SQL previously."
Andrew Moss
Cheshire East Council
"Thought the course was excellent. All the resources were very good e.g. the handout, pen drive with all the examples. Course content was all relevant. Was a very quick pace but I found that good. Our trainer was great too."
Rachel Taylor
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The trainer was very helpful, friendly and open to questions, which made the sessions a lot more enjoyable and engaging. The pace of the sessions was just right (not too fast but not too slow) and the trainer being able to view our remote desktops was a very useful feature, as it meant he could help us over any stumbling blocks. We covered an impressive range of content, much of which should be useful for my work. I also appreciated the care taken in ensuring the course ran smoothly, i.e. the pre-course checks and the provision of accompanying materials well in advance of the sessions. I had seen examples of what others have done with Power BI and wished to be able to produce similar myself."
Chris BurridgeBarney
Devon County Council
"The trainer kept me interested the whole time and had her way of explaining things I wasn't quite sure of. Excellent teacher. I have always struggled with formulas so I wanted to get some more experience."
Sara Rowland
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The course was very well delivered. Our trainer was very knowledgeable and his jokes even brought a positive mood to the course. He was very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace, will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I chose this course to gain more of an understanding how to use the different elements of SQL to manipulate the data in our council performance system. This has certainly helped me a lot and I am more confident of filtering data, using joins etc which I was a bit apprehensive about before."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln Council
"To be honest, I received the manual(s) and my first thought was 3 days of training with this amount of content and all online - what a nightmare! I'm a software systems trainer myself and know first hand how tech can fail or lag and it's like trying to herd cats keeping your audience engaged and ensuring everyone is on track. We had a first class trainer, extremely knowledgeable and relatable. He kept the training on track and managed to keep everyone engaged. The frequent breaks definitely helped to maintain concentration and the interactive examples helped to bring the theory to life. The fact that he could also see all of our screens added an extra level of cohesion, something that I have (enviably) never seen before. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wise Owl for any future training needs. "
Sandra Hopwood
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"The trainer was excellent, very patient and accommodating."
Katie Sykes

"I really enjoyed the course. The trainer was very warm and friendly. It was clear he knew his stuff and would answer any questions."
Annmarie Taylor
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"Trainer and the training was excellent. We really enjoyed the content, presentation and delivery of the training. Trainer was very practical, friendly and highly helpful which is very different from other training courses I have attended."
Siva Chandrasekaran
Cheshire East Council
"The course was brilliant. A great trainer, very patient and worked at a good speed (I don't like hanging around a lot). He is also a great guy and good fun, made the course very interesting and the days were good."
Karen Harrison
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"The course was brilliant from start to finish. The trainer was friendly and knowledgeable. I felt like I learned a lot that I can put into practice at work and would definitely be interested in doing another course with WiseOwl. I have recommend the course to my colleagues."
Michael Cutts
Barnsley MBC
"I really enjoyed the training and thought our trainer was fantastic at taking us through the content at the right pace, whilst also dealing with topics that came up ad hoc. This will really help us on our Power BI journey! We've used Wise Owl a few times now and find the course content and trainers to be excellent. Thank you!"
