"The course was invaluable in building my confidence with Power BI. The trainer was very clear and helpful and I have already built my first dashboard."
Peter Eddleston

"The trainer was excellent, responded really well to questions, was informative and knowledgeable."
Rebecca Gardner

"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. "

"It was incredible, the trainer was first class."
Ross McCarthy
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I really enjoyed my Excel course. The fact that the course was interactive and we followed along made it a lot more engaging than just being spoken to. Highly recommend!"
Laura Gallimore
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I really enjoyed the course, I learnt some new short-cuts that I will definitely be using going forward. Our trainer was very polite and helpful throughout the day and very patient with the group with some being slower than others. Overall very impressed and will be recommending Wise Owl Training to others. I wanted to understand excel better, I’ve been using excel for years and stuck in old habits with a lot of things that have been made easier eg. Filters, tables, sum."
Amanda Lanchester
Mitsubishi Electric 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
"Great course, very informative. The trainer was great and delivered the content very well."
Denise Hearns
Flowtech
"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
"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
"The course was fantastic as was our trainer, who made it interesting and easy to follow. The range of topics we covered was extensive and we were even able to ask for help around our own PBI issues. Couldn't recommend the course enough! We chose the course as it offered a wide range of topics from visualizations to DAX, which was great for us as a team with varied PBI experience."
Samuel Meadows
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
"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
"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
Adidas UK
"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
"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 :)"
