"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."

"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
"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!"

"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

"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. "

"Brilliant as usual, we have been using Wise Owl for years. Love the availability of ongoing support after the course if needed."

"Easy to follow, taught at a good speed with great examples that we now have saved to refer back to. I liked that we weren't just watching the training and were able to follow along with every action. The course manuals are also super helpful as following along yourself is more important than having to make lots of notes!"

"Quite intensive with lots to learn but really good trainer and really good documentation."
Andy Dobby
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"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

"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

"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."
