"The team of people I interacted with at Wise Owl, were very friendly and knowledgeable. The technology all worked fairly seamlessly. I could see a lot of effort was made to make everything go as smoothly as possible."
Martin Ojuroye
Gateshead Council
"Found it easy to follow, liked being able to see trainer's screen and replicate at the same time. Enjoyed doing the exercises as that helped to cement the process."
Ellen Botto
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"I really enjoyed the course. It was simple to follow along and was at the right pace to understand everything being taught. Many thanks for a great two days!"
Lorna King
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"Excellent course for me as a relative beginner/novice to both SQL and Report Builder. An excellent trainer, friendly and patient to deal with any issues. Very knowledgeable on the course subjects, offering clear and concise explanations throughout. Adaptable to deal with any questions with easy-to-follow answers/examples."
Paul Ash
Hertfordshire County Council
"The ice breaker the trainer used at the start was really important I felt. Not only was it relevant to the example scenarios used throughout the course, but it also helped create a comfortable atmosphere within the group. Additionally, the trainer’s follow-up on our discussions demonstrated genuine interest, which made the experience even more engaging."
Heeral Miller
The Phoenix Group
"Easy to follow, taught at a good speed with great examples that we now have saved to refer back to. I liked that we weren't just watching the training and were able to follow along with every action. The course manuals are also super helpful as following along yourself is more important than having to make lots of notes!"
Alice Ryan
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Great training, with an amazing trainer. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept the group fully engaged and made sure everyone was comfortable with the content. A great session"
Enmanuel Moreno Gomez
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Great course! Our trainer was excellent in his delivery. Content was great and he was happy to answer off course points."
Scott Sharp
The Phoenix Group
"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
"Good balance of fun and keeping to the course topics. Great instructor - not boring at all! Everything ran so smoothly, and I felt comfortable asking questions. Genuinely had fun."
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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
"Our trainer was great, went into detail and the tangents he went on were relevant to our job roles and useful pieces of skill."
Dan Carter
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"I found the course very useful and it taught me lots of things I didn't realise Power BI was capable of. I felt like I understood everything that was taught. A great trainer, very friendly and funny and able to answer all of the questions that we threw at him! I had used Power and this course was useful in making me aware of all of the different parts of Power BI, and the options that are available."
Thomas Morley
Department for Education
"It was great that, as an experienced group we were able to get through the content quickly. The trainer saw that as an opportunity to teach us more than was on the original syllabus, so added value for us, the customer. Thanks."
Paul Griffiths
IQUW (was Agora)
"I found the session really helpful, there was a degree of overlap with Access and Excel which I hadn't realised with BI. More than anything though just having someone there to take us through the functionality was just what I needed, as I would open BI see the panel of buttons and quietly close it but now it all makes sense and I have a fair understanding of how to use it."
Dean Heathcote
East Cheshire NHS Trust
"The course was really good. Well-timed and organised and wasn't too slow or fast for a new user to pick up on. I'd done a bit of self-training online but wanted a course where I could interact with and pose questions to a trainer and have a bit more insight into a SQL database."
Andrew Griffiths
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Brilliant from start to end. I am missing it already! Oddly, I think the online format works a bit better than in class, apart from the fact we couldn't all go for a beer at the end of it. I liked how our trainer could monitor all of our work at once and offer guidance without needing to name anyone. The whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable and ran smoothly and I would recommend you as a company with pleasure."
Marketa Koskova
Legal Aid Agency
"The whole experience was very positive. Clear pre-course communication and remote working assessment was great. An excellent trainer, interactive, positive and patient. Handled individual delegate issues quickly and without causing undue delay to others."
Mario Yeomans
Sellafield Ltd
"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
"Great course, provided by a great trainer, who was really knowledgeable and was also happy to answer the many questions that I had."
