"Really enjoyed the course, trainer was very helpful and approachable - I learned lots of shortcuts/refreshed my memory - really enjoyable (not often you say that about excel!!!)"
Alex Mason
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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
"Trainer was fantastic at keeping us engaged with the content, and going above and beyond to answer any more detailed questions we could have."
Simon Pagden
Hertfordshire County Council
"This was more of a refresher course for me after not having used Excel in a decade and yet I honestly learned a lot. Great course and delivery as always :)"
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer was great, really patient and knowledgeable. It was a great set up following on Teams and doing the same thing at the same time. He knew when someone needed support and quickly helped them. Would recommend anyone to use wise owl."
Lynsay Bennett
The Phoenix Group
"The course was concise and 'pitched' at the right level for the attendees. I have been on other PBI courses in the past and the size of the group and differing levels of understanding made the process disjointed. Your course however, and the access to supporting material, is both relevant and useful, delivered in a very efficient manner."
Dave Jones
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"I was really pleased by the quality of the course. The fact that the class size was small was also a major plus. I had come across Wise Owl courses on YouTube and was impressed by the quality of teaching."
Daniel Litscher
Individuals
"Really enjoyed the training and I've learned a lot which will be really helpful to my work."
Amelia Jewell
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"Our trainer was great! Content was useful and well presented. His knowledge of the Microsoft ecosystem was very impressive. Could have done with more jokes :)"
Brian Seery
Ministry of Justice
"Really enjoyed the course content and 1-1 interaction with trainer met my additional learning needs. The Trainer was patient and enabled me to practice on exercises that l could use in my work. "
Joanne Brown-Barnes
Network Plus
"Course was well structured and was a pleasure to go through. A great teacher who lead us through all tasks and answered any questions we had."
Daniel Ludlow
B&M Pallets
"This is the second course that I have attended with Wise Owl. I really enjoyed this Excel Advance Course and know that some of the skills I have learnt will be extremely helpful in my job role and in the future. I have now completed Excel intermediate and Excel Advanced. Thank you!"
Katherine Wheeler
NHS South, Central and West CSU
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Power BI course. The structure and content was great. I kept up with the pace and understood everything that was being taught. I really appreciate how both trainers made a lot of jokes and tried to get to know us, this showed me they truly cared about our learning rather than them just trying to rush through the course. I think this is possibly the best training course I have ever been on! Keep shining!"
Paula Gjelaj
PwC
"Really appreciated the course, our trainer was very helpful. I have already started doing things differently and built a new little ecosystem better than I'd previously done. Already recommended you guys to our team. "
Jessie Stroud
BBI Services Ltd
"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
"Our trainer explained things so clearly and was so patient when I got a bit behind. An excellent trainer."
Allison Orchard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The trainer was excellent - he took the time to "get to know the students", was warm and welcoming - was very patient when people were struggling with difficult concepts - it was a truly enjoyable experience (never thought i would say that about excel - lol!!!)"
Alex Mason
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The course was excellent, very insightful!"
Emma Morgan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"I really enjoyed the course and the way it was set out - one of the most enjoyable and useful training sessions I've done. A lot of content was covered at a good pace with options to ask questions. I really like the way the course is interactive and easy to keep up."
