"Perfectly paced course and our trainer made it so easy to follow and if someone struggled he didn't call them out on it, but helped by making suggestions. Perfect way to do it. The course material is very useful and it's good to have."
Vanella Mead
Southampton City Council
"Very professional starting from the pre-course communication and pre-course materials received, to the course itself. The trainer was brilliant, nothing was too drawn out or overexplained but just enough to ensure it was understood, very methodical and professional. Thank you very much, I really enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to book on the next level course."
Trish Smee
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The course was really good, our trainer is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable person who made me feel comfortable when asking questions."
Nicola Mills
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Great course and a great trainer, only wish there'd been an extra day."
Neil Rutherford
Halton Borough Council
"Totally brilliant course, the tutor was fabulous. Would certainly recommend :-)"
Wendy Wood
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"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
"Really enjoyed the course. I did know a lot of the content but by doing it a different way. This course showed me ways of doing things differently, some being much quicker. The trainer was very supporting and approachable, which made learning the new ways so much easier."
Kristine Ogden
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"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
"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)
"Our trainer was great! Really personable and great at engaging us all."
Sarah Hulme
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"Trainer was excellent and very helpful, would highly recommend."
Jade Thomson
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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."
Andy Derbyshire
APSE Manchester
"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
"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
"Very good course tailored to our specific requirements."
Mike Hughes
Cheshire East Council
"The course was very understandable and the trainer was very friendly and funny."
