"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. "

"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 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."

"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

"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."

Hounslow 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!"

"I have used Wise Owl previously and found them excellent . . . a few years later and still excellent. The whole process is friendly and efficient."

"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)
"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
"I loved the course, it was very engaging and got me so excited about Power BI. I actually love its potential and can see where it can be put into practice within my Service."
Diane Cooper-Ramsden
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!"
Richard Warren
Southend-on-Sea City 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

Andy Dobby

"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!"
