"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
"Our trainer was excellent, very patient, clear and responsive. Very good having the face to face training in our venue."
Juliette Summerfield
Volumatic Ltd
"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

"The course content was great, perfect level for the group and our trainer was brilliant, very patient and kept us engaged throughout the day. We chose this course as we have a lot of data that we could analyse ourselves - we normally have to ask others for help which can take time but hopefully now we will be able to have a go. The content was great for beginners, and maybe in the future we can progress further!"
Laura Potter

"I found the course extremely helpful and enjoyable. The content was broad but I found I was able to understand it effectively with the trainer's help. He was excellent throughout and I greatly appreciate his support and expertise. "
Sam Dove

"Very happy with the content and the trainer, who was great and was able to answer our specific questions and tailor examples to our roles."
Jaden Bhanabhai

"Our trainer was very refreshing to have teach this course, it seemed like he cared about what he was teaching which helped make the overall experience a positive one - he was more than happy to stop and help whenever somebody got stuck on a step/task. I would be happy to do more courses."
George Stearn
Mitsubishi Electric 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
"Our trainer was great, explaining each step at speed to match our understanding. Also taking time to explain more basic stuff that may not have strictly been in the course, but making it easier to follow/understand. I learnt a lot."
Brian Lawrence
Mitsubishi Electric 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
"Excellent course and really enjoyed it. Our trainer was brilliant and made the course fun. Thank you again."
Matthew Harris

"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."

"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."
