"I found the day very informative and set at an appropriate level for me. Plenty of skills for me to use going forward, already shared some aspects with colleagues."
Paul Fowler
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"Altogether a very positive experience, professional and fun!"
Dane Horgan
Sofa Brands International Ltd
"The trainer was amazing, content was spot on and I benefited much more than expected from the course. Very well presented, communication skills and flexibility with content was appreciated."
Samantha Bangs
Welcome Break
"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
Adidas UK
"Great use of technology seeing how students are getting on on screens and proactively offering support. Interactive and live, perfect for all kinds of learners, visual, auditory, kinetic, you really get the full experience. Safe & open space to ask questions and explore. Good pace and structure."
Rafaela Monteiro
PwC
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. An excellent trainer who maintained a steady pace and customised the course to focus on the areas I needed most."
Faith Hazell
Hertfordshire County Council
"The course manual will be useful as a reference to remind us of what we learnt on the course. Previously enjoyed courses delivered by WiseOwl. We trust WiseOwl for useful course material, engaging tutors that make the course interesting and administrating everything so easily."
Tom Morgan
Hounslow Council
"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
"An excellent trainer as usual, who explains everything in detail and covers a lot of ground in a relatively short time period. Have attended previous courses through work."
Dave Jones
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Our trainer was amazing! She explained everything so well and had no problem re-explaining things for those that needed extra help. She made the 7 hours fly by. I feel like I've learned so much around excel and will be using my new knowledge going forward. Thank you!"
Kaylee Akerman
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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
"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."
Sema Guler
Financial Times
"The trainer was excellent, responded really well to questions, was informative and knowledgeable."
Rebecca Gardner
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
"The course was great. We were a mixed ability group but the trainer provided really clear instructions and was always happy to answer my questions. I learnt loads and it was a really relaxed learning environment. My colleague had attended Wise Owl training in the past and she recommended you."
Anna Bullen
Loughborough University
"Really good course & great that it is such a small group. I have previously attended in-person Wise Owl courses before. The online course worked really well (just a couple of tiny interruptions when people dropped out or sound lost). Taking the time to check the set up ahead of time & being able to have the pack posted to me was great. "
Catherine Turnbull-Ross
Fairhive Homes Ltd
"Our trainer was clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter and kept the course flowing well. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions too, which helped to put the course into context for our business area. I have attended previous training courses with Wise Owl."
Claire Payton
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I really liked the trainer and he made everyone feel capable and welcome. The way the course ran was manageable and although there was a lot of content, the course never felt overwhelming."
James Hodgson
Sellafield Ltd
"Trainer was exceptional, as he had been in all the previous training."
Stuart Gray
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"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."
