"Training was great. Our trainer is very knowledgeable and has a very good way of training people."
Amandine Catiau
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."
Jonathan Bibby

"Excellent course and really enjoyed it. Our trainer was brilliant and made the course fun. Thank you again."
Matthew Harris

"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
"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
"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
"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
"Great content in the course. We were given the opportunity to perform exercises which personally I think is the best way to learn. Our trainer was always on hand to answer any questions and made the course interesting and knew when it was time to break! Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot, thanks."
Avril Ball

"A really enthusiastic and engaging trainer. She took what can be a dry topic and kept our attention throughout - really enjoyed it!"
Lewis Paling

"The course in my opinion was fantastic. I got a lot from it, the trainer was great and so were the biscuits! "
Stuart O’Neil
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"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
"I thought the course was superb. The content delivery and the accessibility to all was really impressive, having the exercises to work through during the course helped consolidate the knowledge. The content was really easy to follow and if we were ever stuck, were given the confidence to feel like we could ask for help. I have been on multiple different training courses with different providers and I can honestly say the course was delivered by the best trainer I have ever had. The passion he has for teaching and helping others learn was clearly on show and was so refreshing and great to see. Throughout both days he made you feel so welcome and that no question was a stupid question, he was always there to help and guide you through any problems we had and overall he was just amazing, I couldn't have asked for any more and he went above and beyond my expectations for the course and what I would gain from it. "

Gary Woodcock

"Our trainer was absolutely brilliant and was very engaging and you could see how passionate he was about excel which then made me feel more passionate about excel! He made the course :)"
Katie Clements
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"The course content itself was very well laid out and easy to understand. It ticked the basic boxes of what we were wanting to develop & we are very pleased with the content covered. I would like to personally add that our trainer did an exceptional job of keeping us all engaged and focused on the content. We were all very impressed with his ability, and would highly recommend Wise Owl to other companies looking to develop their internal capabilities."
Bertie Ellis
Multiplex Engineering Limited
"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
Adidas UK
"Our trainer was brilliant. knows his stuff, spoke in a manner which meant we had time to understand and learn and for it to resonate. Spoke with us on our level so we could have more open conversation and he was able then to add further value to the experience. Course was comprehensive, yeah there is a lot to cover but it was covered in a logical manner, everything made sense and if not then he would explain in a way which helped make it clear."
James Ellis
Multiplex Engineering Limited
"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."
