"Our trainer was great! Really personable and great at engaging us all."
Sarah Hulme
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Our trainer was very supportive of the group and the course was well laid out. The provision of the materials and exercises as a soft copy helps reinforce the learning process and is essential."
Ozkan Cevat
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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!"
Richard Warren
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The trainer made the session fun and engaging."
Daniel Milne

"All good! I found Wise Owl through a google search about 10 years ago, but I can't remember what I searched for! We used you to deliver some training back then and came back to you this time."
Joanne Elcock

"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
Lucy Ellams
Halton Borough 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)
"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
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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
"The trainer was excellent, very patient and accommodating."
Katie Sykes
Barnsley MBC
"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
"A fantastic trainer and so knowledgeable; he was able to answer every query and even spent time looking further into more complex issues for us. He works at a very good pace, is friendly, welcoming and puts you at ease. The exercises work very well and the approach to these is excellent, with our trainer leaving us to work on them unless we ask for help."
Becky Young
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"The course was exceptionally well-delivered, and as a group, we thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. Our trainer was very personable and approachable and his deep knowledge of DAX and Power BI made the content much easier to grasp. We particularly appreciated how he tailored the course to our needs, addressed the examples we provided, and kept the session interactive to reinforce the concepts. The pacing was for us as a group was spot-on, allowing ample time for questions and hands-on practice... and a cuppa ;) Overall, we would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to enhance their Power BI and DAX skills. The trainer was brilliant - his expertise, clear communication, and engaging teaching style made all the difference in making our course both informative and enjoyable. We have undertaken previous courses with yourselves which were similarly well-received by colleagues."
Michael Abson
Durham County Council
"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 training worked perfectly! I had experienced the Power BI training in person but to have an online option that works so well, I can only thank you."
Andy Derbyshire
APSE Manchester
"A great trainer, very attentive and made sure we were all able to grasp what was being taught. He took the time to make sure those with issues were supported. The course content was also very good, provided a very good overview of how we can use AI to improve productivity in the work we do. It helped to generate a lot of ideas and ways we could make improvements to our work. Overall, a great course and one I would recommend for those who have an interest in AI and want to get their foot in the door."
Sukhjeet Gill
Hounslow Council
"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
"The training session was a bit of an eye opener for me in terms of what can be done behind the scenes in Power BI e.g., with data cleaning and setting up parameters. Even though I am already interested in learning this stuff, I imagine it would be easy to deliver that kind of material in a very monotonous and uninteresting way, but the presentation style was really fun and lively which made it a lot easier I think to absorb the lessons. It’s also great to have paper copies of the manuals! Thanks again and I hope to take you up on your offer of sending queries your way, I am sure I will."
Simon Hayes
Hounslow 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."
