"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)
"Our trainer made the sessions really enjoyable. Loads of interaction and engagement. He clearly explained everything and I was able to understand. Couldn't ask for a better trainer."
Taiba Chaudhry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A great trainer who explained everything clearly. It was great to go to a course like this where things are explained, rather than trying to figure out the basics online. Really enjoyed the course and found it really satisfying that I could do it! Colleagues had done the advanced course with Wise Owl and recommended the company."
Hannah Woods
South London and Maudsley NHS FT
"I found the course very useful. The activities will be useful for future reference when implementing some of the content. The trainer was very patient and made the course easy to follow and enjoyable."
Sarah Clarke
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"A great trainer, really engaging and made even the complex topics simple to understand."
Rob Mason
Richer Sounds
"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 great course and really appreciate this being changed last minute to provide me with the content and experience needed for SSRS reporting."
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"My group's trainer was absolutely brilliant. He knew Power BI inside-out and could answer any questions we had straight away."
Samuel Chapman
The Phoenix Group
"Brilliant Course and would recommend people do it, the lecturer was Outstanding and answered all Questions. I really liked how he explained things twice to ensure understanding of each topic."
Adam Lightfoot
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Good course. Presented well and a good amount of exercises."
Steven Collins
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"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
"Great course, really enjoyed it. It has so much potential to help out with day to day tasks at both work and home. Really useful to have the interactions and overviews of other Microsoft products such as Power BI, adaptive card designer and MS Graph. Whilst I can understand that the new designer has bugs, it was actually quite beneficial encountering these during the course as it allowed us to see how to problem solve them in the future."
Kerry Coyne
The Phoenix Group
"Absolutely the best tutor I've had in any capacity thus far. Very charismatic and great jokes to keep the class awake and going, through an intense program. Keeping an eye on our screens so he's able to help if anyone has an issue - couldn't ask for better."
Ramzi Tallaa
PwC
"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
"The trainer was super patient and helpful. Everything was clearly explained. A really useful course on Introduction to SQL."
Sema Guler
Financial Times
"The class size was ideal. The trainer provided a thoughtful and entertaining experience, and was clearly well prepared. Remotely signing in was seamless. I needed proper training on SQL, having had to self-teach for several months."
Alexander Mason
Capel Manor College
"I thought the training was a good introduction to SQL. The trainer was obviously very experienced and I found it useful that he explained why certain aspects were important, rather than just how. He was clear and easy to understand. "
Jessica Clark
West Berkshire Council
"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
"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
"This course was excellent! I had zero knowledge of Power BI when I joined this course and now, I will be developing some really awesome reports that answers some of the most important questions in the organization. I'd like to thank the instructor for his great teaching style and funny humour! For anyone thinking of taking this course, I would highly recommend this as the team at Wise Owl are a great bunch! Thanks a lot, guys!"
