"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
"Loved the really quick tips that were shared - I am already using these fast wins! The trainer was engaging and knowledgeable and really tailored the training to what the delegates needed/wanted, without missing out the already planned content."
Georgina Holmes
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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!"
Alice Ryan

"The trainer made the session fun and engaging."
Daniel Milne
Durham County 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
"Really well constructed, excellent trainer and we worked at a good pace."

Rachel Brown
Southend-on-Sea City 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

"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."

Catriona Gallimore

"Excellent, well delivered with great material."
Andrew Curtis
Gateshead 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
"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
"A brilliant trainer who was great and really approachable. "
Daniel Atthey
Gateshead Council
"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
"All contact pre-course was efficient and professional; our trainer was very knowledgeable and presented the course well. The course isn't particularly hard but does require concentration, so doing it over 2 days was quite intense and anyone coming on the course should bear this in mind and ensure that they are working in a suitable environment. "
Lisa Pouton
Gateshead 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)
"The trainer was excellent, very patient and accommodating."
Katie Sykes
Barnsley MBC
"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
Lucy Ellams
Halton Borough 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."
