"An amazing trainer who kept the course interesting and engaging. I feel in a really good place after the course to begin working with Power BI more regularly and have a much better understanding of DAX, which I knew hardly anything about prior."
Laura Loades
Adidas UK
"I found the course very informative, the trainer was helpful and knowledgeable. The course manual is a great resource to enable us to apply the skills learnt after the course. A colleague recommended the course."
Kay Jackman
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Covered lots in the two days, clearly explained."
Amy Hilton
Cormar Carpets
"Our trainer was engaging and he didn’t assume any knowledge, which was helpful because we were able to learn the correct way of doing things from the beginning. I liked how flexible with time the course was, to give us regular breaks to make sure we stayed alert and enough time to do exercises and ask questions. I also liked the set up of the course with the movies/music databases because it was easy to understand but still relatable to what I would need to do in my day-to-day role."
Alysha Aitken

"Tutor was friendly and very knowledgeable. Kept us all engaged and answered any queries we had of our own (as a company) and advised alternatives for what wasn't possible."
Victoria Ratcliffe
Dean Group International
"An incredible teacher, who across the 3 days was very entertaining and engaging. His way of explaining and breaking down the course content made it easy to follow and understand. The content was everything we all needed to know and I was able to see how I could apply what I had learnt into my own projects. I came away excited to put my new knowledge into action."
Rachael Kerrigan
Adidas UK
"Good balance of material and application making the course easy to digest. Number of new elements not aware of as Power BI constantly developing, so good way of also keeping up to date. Very knowledgeable trainer!"
Kieth Denison
Oxley Developments
"The course was absolutely great. The trainer displayed competence and passion and made the course very enjoyable to follow. "
Marco Antonelli
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"A great tutor and his approachable manner meant the training session ran very well and was enjoyable. Having used PowerBI everyday I was concerned that I may not pick up much but I was pleasantly surprised to pick up a number of techniques that I will use going forward. Thanks."
Tom Miles
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"Going into an excel course, I was a little hesitant and worried it would be too much information at once. However, our trainer was great from the get go. Very engaging, lots of small breaks in-between, felt I got lots of unanswered questions resolved and quick tricks to feel confident using the excel platform."
Aleisha Buckley-Henry
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I found the content really useful. Each topic was covered thoroughly and the pace was perfect to allow me to feel fully confident before moving on"
Sophie Smith
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"Great course, very informative. The trainer was great and delivered the content very well."
Denise Hearns
Flowtech
"The course was interactive and fun, not boring. The instructor was great, explained things really well and had a lot of patience when going over things a couple of times."
Sarah Thrower
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Apart from really enjoying the course, I did gain a lot of insight into how I currently use Excel and how I should use it. The course exercises are good to practice on."
Mike Walsh
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I found the trainer to be very informative and helpful throughout the entire course. I would thoroughly recommend your company should further training courses of this nature be required. The course was conducted at a pace that suited the entire group, so that even the slower members were able to get the most out of the training session."
Russell Neale
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"I thoroughly enjoyed the advanced sql course. I had attended the basic sql course in October and this course was a great continuation on the topics learnt. I picked up lots of new and useful skills that I will be able to transfer over into my daily work, which has drastically improved since the basic course. My trainer was superb also, extremely knowledgeable on every topic covered and his passion really came through. He answered all the questions we asked over the 2 days with great insight and knowledge and was really helpful over the duration of the course. I have really enjoyed both courses and would definitely recommend Wise Owl to anyone who requires training in the future."
Cameron Daulby
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"Course was well structured and was a pleasure to go through. A great teacher who lead us through all tasks and answered any questions we had."
