"The class size was ideal. The trainer provided a thoughtful and entertaining experience, and was clearly well prepared. Remotely signing in was seamless. I needed proper training on SQL, having had to self-teach for several months."
Alexander Mason
Capel Manor College
"Wise Owl was recommended by our IT team and we are very happy with the quality of the content and delivery. We have recommended to another team and to other NHS organisations."
Linda Phillips
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun to work with. Much appreciated. I'll be putting what I've learned into practice right away. Thanks again!"
Jon Orr
Withers LLP
"The trainer was great. He explained the basics really clearly and was super helpful if we ever got stuck on something, and went at a good pace so that we could keep up without getting bored. The examples were both fun and relevant to the kinds of things we might want to do at work (like feeding information through from a pop-up box, error checking etc.). The course manual is also really impressive. I would definitely recommend this course."
Jenny Roberts
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
"Well structured course and the trainer adapted the pace of learning to benefit my needs. I feel I have come away from the course with more knowledge than I expected to and feel confident I will be able to utilise my new skills going forward. Manual is great. Thank you."
Julie Chapman
Hereford Sixth Form College
"Great sessions, well paced, our trainer was great."
Akosua Bonsu
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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 teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"I was impressed by our trainer's thoroughness - any questions that he could not answer on the spot, he took away and answered the next day, having found workarounds to even the most obscure of questions we had for him! His pace of teaching and clarity was perfect, taking the stress out of learning new things."
Lisa Anastassiu
The Phoenix Group
"Great course and a great trainer, only wish there'd been an extra day."
Neil Rutherford
Halton Borough Council
"Trainer was amazing! Learning online was great."
Po Ruby
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"It was incredible, the trainer was first class."
Ross McCarthy
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"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
"Training was very interactive and this helped keep me engaged throughout both days - the course was quite a long one to do over teams but it didn't feel like it."
Caitlin Irving
Sellafield Ltd
"An amazing trainer and really helped with engaging with the course. I loved the follow along aspect which made sure that we kept focus - I learned so much."
Nawal Raza-Malik
Department for Education
"An excellent trainer who covered the content in an engaging fashion and ensured everyone was able to understand and use the concepts in the manual. The online format also worked very well, which allowed for easy and efficient learning."
Kane Harper
Sellafield Ltd
"Brilliant course on Power BI and DAX by a great trainer. As some of us were novices he made sure to answer every question - no question was a silly one. He applied an element of fun to the course too. Would highly recommend. Thank you!"
Sarah Huett
Peabody Trusts
"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
"Really enjoyed the course, which covered a lot of ground and the trainer certainly knew his stuff. Many thanks."
Kevin McWhirter
The Phoenix Group
"The tutor I had was the most enthusiastic, humorous and intelligent teacher I could have ever asked for. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the course content and as a result I never felt lost or unsure about anything complex. Will highly recommend to anyone else I come across who needs this."
