Sarosh Sethna

"The trainer was very engaging and explained the course in good detail, easily understood."
Daniel Smith
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Trainer was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject, and able to answer any question I had. The course was delivered at an appropriate speed, ensuring that no one was left behind."
Charlotte Jackson
Sellafield Ltd
"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
"Our trainer was great helping lead us through the basics of Power BI and then pushing us further towards more advanced techniques, as we asked how we might use the software for our own problems. Highly recommended by our colleagues and I would have to agree with them."
Freddie Wright
Singleton Birch Ltd
"The trainer was brilliant! He explained everything really well, kept everyone well engaged and handled any problems brilliantly. The course itself was interesting and well structured, the course handbook being provided prior to the course was a huge help also. Would definitely recommend this course."
Bethany Jones
Sellafield Ltd
"This was probably one of the best courses I've been on. I was so impressed with the course content and the delivery. The trainer's ability to deliver quite extensive content while ensuring everyone understood and put it into practice, was awesome. His enthusiasm and attitude generally made this 2 day course an absolute pleasure. The venue was great, really good facilities and in a perfect central location. Going out for lunch was a great touch. Good to get out of the room for an hour and have some nice food! Thanks Wise Owl for a fab training experience!"
Maxine Ward
Sellafield Ltd
"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
"Our trainer was super helpful and always made sure to help/make things clearer if I didn't understand. He really made the course enjoyable too so thanks! "
Lindsay James
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Excellent course/venue, trainer explained clearly and nothing was too much trouble."
Matt Austin
Singleton Birch Ltd
"I found the course really well planned and engaging. The content covered a wide variety of things and I now feel I have a greater understanding and knowledge of Power BI."
Natalie Graham
Sellafield Ltd
"Our trainer was great, super engaging, clear and provided a thorough run through of everything."
Charlotte Dennison
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Our trainer made the course very enjoyable with his enthusiasm and humour. He made sure I felt like I could ask all and any questions I wanted, despite also having to pay extra attention to the other trainee."
Philip Howlett
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"The course contained sufficient content for a good introduction to VBA, was well organised (e.g. with sending out training manuals and organising pre-course checks) and came with high quality training materials. Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable, and created an encouraging environment for delegates to share ideas and ask questions. He also added in lots of "tips and tricks", which meant everyone learnt a lot, even if they had some degree of familiarity with VBA going in. Wise Owl had delivered other online trainings to Sellafield staff, so came recommended by colleagues."
Alex Cunningham
Sellafield Ltd
"Perfect! The pace was fast, content delivered well and I got everything from the course I was hoping for. As we already have software development experience, it meant we could canter through the content and focus on the applicable differences. Well worth having a 'private' course for us three attendees, as this allowed us to prioritise the content in the time available and gave the opportunity to discuss aspects of our current software project in the context of the course with the trainer. We feel we can 'hit the ground running' now."
Stuart Green
ENGIE Services Ltd
"Really well planned course - the use of virtual machines was excellent - not something I've ever experienced during an online training course and it felt very professional. The pre-course check the week before to iron out any technical issues, also meant that we didn't waste time troubleshooting on the day. A great trainer, very knowledgeable and kept the energy high each day which meant the sessions were easy to keep engaged with. I'm looking forward to using what I've learned and putting it into practice! Other members within our team had attended a previous session and described how useful it was."
Jamie-Leigh Edington
Sellafield Ltd
"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
"Good pace and the trainer was very helpful, allowed regular breaks and encouraged us to ask questions. He also stayed at the end and was willing to show extra features that we asked for."
Michael Lawrence
Sellafield Ltd
"The trainer taught this VBA course with enthusiasm and explained everything in detail and constantly offered help when needed. I feel confident in VBA after this training course."
Jessie Nelligan
Sellafield Ltd
"The course was really good and really well delivered, as always. The trainer made the whole experience very enjoyable. I was looking for something to replace VBA in the long term. I'm not sure Office Scripts is quite ready to do this yet but I think the groundwork has been laid and I look forward to future developments."
