"Our trainer was very friendly, approachable and had a very good knowledge of the subject. The pace of the course was spot on, and I also liked the fact it was a small group - only 4 of us. The remote desktop where the trainer could see our screens, and offer advice whilst we were typing away was excellent - a lot better than having to share screens individually whenever we got stuck... and a lot less time consuming! Overall, really enjoyed the course and would have no hesitation in choosing you again in the future."

"The course structure and coaching method were great. Our trainer was a joy to work with, his experience and expertise, as well as people skills were amazing. Could not ask for a better trainer. Will defo be in touch for further training courses and advise etc."

"The trainer was brilliant and adjusted the course to the needs of everyone in the group. We managed to go through many more things than initially assumed. Thank you. Wise Owl was recommended to us by my previous manager and I will definitely consider using Wise Owl for any further development of my team."

"A great trainer who explained everything clearly. It was great to go to a course like this where things are explained, rather than trying to figure out the basics online. Really enjoyed the course and found it really satisfying that I could do it! Colleagues had done the advanced course with Wise Owl and recommended the company."
Hannah Woods

"Really enjoyed the course, well delivered and some great topics."
Gemma Tomlinson

"An excellent trainer. Very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand."
Alex Brian
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"The tutor was really good at making sure the people with more experience didn't get bored whilst going at a pace slow enough for the beginners. The course material is clear and structured."

"I cannot fault the course or trainer. It was the best professional training I've ever received."

"The course was very well run and our trainer was great!"
Euan Wilkins
Department for Education
"An excellent trainer, efficient and knowledgeable. If someone dropped from the session he'd get them up to speed quickly and without disrupting the flow of the course. The course was well designed and the exercises helped to cement lessons. I also have the physical course manual and exercises, which will be a great resource for me going forward."
Angus Wood

"All contact pre-course was efficient and professional; our trainer was very knowledgeable and presented the course well. The course isn't particularly hard but does require concentration, so doing it over 2 days was quite intense and anyone coming on the course should bear this in mind and ensure that they are working in a suitable environment. "
Lisa Pouton
Gateshead Council
"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."
Jess Dyer

"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."

"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."

"A great trainer, really engaging and made even the complex topics simple to understand."
Rob Mason

"Really enjoyed the course, it had a very good structure and our Trainer was top-class!"
Matt Hemming
Liquid Logic (System C)
"This was probably one of the most engaging and satisfying courses that I have been on. I was originally a bit nervous that I might not be able to keep up with the level of expected prerequisites. However, the course was pitched at the correct level for me, I gained a lot from it and we had an excellent trainer. I would be happy, if I had the opportunity, to attend another course by Wise Owl e.g. a Python or Power BI course."
PJ Bansel
Dale Underwriting Partners
"The trainer was superb, he understood how I related to what I was learning and was able to put things into a context that suited me. He made me feel at ease and that no question was a stupid question. I am already recommending you guys to colleagues and want to book another course. Wise Owl was recommended by a colleague in my new team."

"The course content was excellent and easy to follow, led by a very personable trainer who knew his stuff!"
Hayden Bryon
