"This was one of the best courses I have ever attended! The trainer was engaging and really enthusiastic, always happy to answer questions and discuss the content further where needed. Being able to work through the content ourselves as we were being taught really helped to consolidate my knowledge. The venue was great and very accessible and the food was amazing!"
Charlie Staniforth
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"Really happy with the Power BI Fast Track course. Everything was explained clearly and made very easy to understand and the trainer was generous with providing practical tips for working with data and reports above and beyond the syllabus. The communication and set up before the course was also as smooth as possible. I've had a few courses with Wise Owl and looking forward to joining another one in the future. "
Kaili Jarv
Waltham Forest 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
"I have used Wise Owl previously and found them excellent . . . a few years later and still excellent. The whole process is friendly and efficient."
Tom Morgan
Hounslow Council
"Excellent trainer and pace of days. He made you feel relaxed and explained the course content in a easy to understand manner."
Becky Hayes
APSE Manchester
"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
Lucy Ellams
Halton Borough Council
"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
"Very interesting course and learned a lot of new skills around DAX. Just need to put them into practice! Our trainer was also amazing - very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer with multiple different suggestions. "
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk
Southend-on-Sea City 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
"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
"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)
"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
"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
"A fantastic tutor who made the subject really interesting and talked in depth about each process. I felt I learnt quite a lot during the course."
Daniel Milne
Durham County 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
"I found this course really useful and I like that the trainer is reactive to questions by diverting slightly off course to demonstrate an answer to the question. I also liked the fact that rather than just DAX the course showed how we could use the DAX Measures in the visuals. I am new to DAX and Power BI and wanted to get a better understanding of the basics before looking at what I can improve on going forwards."
Colin Watts
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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!"
