"Our trainer was great and made the course really interesting and engaging. We had some technical difficulties but these were all at our end, and everyone at Wise Owl was really helpful and patient in that respect - thank you!"
Michelle Ashworth

"All good! I found Wise Owl through a google search about 10 years ago, but I can't remember what I searched for! We used you to deliver some training back then and came back to you this time."
Joanne Elcock

"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
"I was very impressed with the range of content covered, especially given that the course was only a day long. The course material was clearly explained with lots of helpful exercises, allowing me to cement my learnings in a practical environment. Additionally, I appreciate the emphasis placed on explaining the best way to apply various formulae in practice (for example, by explaining the benefits of index,match and xlookup over a vlookup)."
Joel Bernbaum

"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."

Ryan McNally

"The course was very good. Extremely useful for my job role, the trainer was very informative and I came away feeling a lot more confident than when I started. Thanks again."
Scott Quarmby
Network Plus
"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."
Alex Morris
Cardinal Newman College
"Great team, great trainer, great structure. Was clean and easy to follow along, loved that we get to take away the files we worked on during course."
Jamie Wright
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"All contact pre-course was efficient and professional; our trainer was very knowledgeable and presented the course well. The course isn't particularly hard but does require concentration, so doing it over 2 days was quite intense and anyone coming on the course should bear this in mind and ensure that they are working in a suitable environment. "
Lisa Pouton
Gateshead Council
"A brilliant trainer - really fantastic!! Being brand new to Power BI, I was a bit worried. Thanks to the trainer, I felt I could understand the principles of what was happening, which was great."
Oliver Harvey
Department for Education
"The course was well presented and understandable. I learnt some new things and came away feeling more confident in the SQL skills I already had. I've no doubt the manual will prove very useful in the future."
Jo Lockett
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"The trainer, was brilliant, really informative. Useful learning the processes and she had a great way of conveying the learning. I was a last minute addition to the course. I wasn't aware of Wise Owl but I will be researching and looking out for future courses."
Adam Goodall
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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."
