"The trainer kept me interested the whole time and had her way of explaining things I wasn't quite sure of. Excellent teacher. I have always struggled with formulas so I wanted to get some more experience."
Sara Rowland
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Our trainer made the course really easy to follow and understand, she was very thorough and I liked that fact that we practiced what we had learnt."
Alison Hopkins
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Loved the slicers, drill through filters, filtering reports and maps sections. A thorough grounding provided and some useful tips on data cleansing."
Barry Tobin

"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
"The course was very well delivered. Our trainer was very knowledgeable and his jokes even brought a positive mood to the course. He was very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace, will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I chose this course to gain more of an understanding how to use the different elements of SQL to manipulate the data in our council performance system. This has certainly helped me a lot and I am more confident of filtering data, using joins etc which I was a bit apprehensive about before."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln Council
"Great course and customer service from Wise Owl throughout, from pre-course checks to the course itself. I had been given a new laptop from work and it was no trouble for the team at Wise Owl to promptly arrange a self check prior to my course. The course itself was very informative and trainer was patient and answered any questions we had. Thank you."
Emily Knight
Halton Borough Council
"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
"It was great to know that our trainer could see what we were doing remotely and track with us. A positive experience of an on-line training course. Thank you."
Beverley McNamara
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"I really enjoyed the course. The trainer was very warm and friendly. It was clear he knew his stuff and would answer any questions."
Annmarie Taylor
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"The course was brilliant. A great trainer, very patient and worked at a good speed (I don't like hanging around a lot). He is also a great guy and good fun, made the course very interesting and the days were good."
Karen Harrison
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"It was a very good course, definitely thinking of ways to apply it to our team and use it in the future. I'm hoping that the exercise booklet provided will put theory into practice and the trainer has offered to go through it at a later date, which is very kind of him. Really enjoyed learning from our trainer, he has a likeable personality and is a good teacher."
Katalin Fulop
Devon County Council
"Course content was intense and enjoyable. Lunch venues a great choice and an opportunity to walk outside. So great to be back face to face learning. The trainer has a pleasant and patient manner and adapted his presentation (made larger on screen) to my needs."
Sue Cann
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The trainer made the session fun and engaging."
Daniel Milne
Durham County 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
"This course was very useful and helpful for the work that we will be undertaking at the council in the future. Our trainer was very knowledgeable, very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace. He was able to answer any questions I had and was able to advise on how we are using the system for our performance data. Will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I have previously done the Introduction to SQL course, so wanted to expand my knowledge further and learn how I could implement all the different techniques into our own system. I will be exploring the Power BI courses once we are in a position to do so."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln 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."
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 found the course really useful and easy to follow. It was ideal for someone who knew very little about SQL previously."
Andrew Moss
Cheshire East Council
"Very comprehensive training course without being so much that it became overwhelming. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful trainer who communicated and explained the content effectively. I also think the course manual and exercises provided are excellent and I am sure will be really useful resources post-training."
David Caldwell
Cheshire East Council
