"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was just right as it was brisk but I could keep up. There were plenty of interesting topics and I was never just sat listening, I was always involved. My manager attended the course a few years ago and recommended it."
Scott Richardson
Newcastle Building Society
"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)
"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
"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"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 really enjoyed how interactive and intuitive everything was. The use of the virtual desktop to connect to, kept me engaged and liked that it was not just reading or showing."
Bruce Forsman
PwC
"The course was really helpful, informative and covered all areas needed (and listed in the course guide). The trainer was easy to approach and to ask for help and a very effective trainer. This recent experience, along with past experience of Wise Owl, confirms that you're a great company. Your website is the first I go to whenever looking at future training."
Rebecca Kirkby
East Coast Community Healthcare CIC
"Great course. The trainer was really knowledgeable and happy to answer all questions. Online course format worked well and the way the trainer viewed our screens meant he was able to give us hints/advice if we'd made any typos/errors, without holding the other delegates up."
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"Our trainer was great! He had the right level of enthusiasm and great knowledge of all aspects of Power BI and how it links to other more familiar tools. I was really worried about the remote aspect of the training, feeling like I wouldn't get as much out of it but I actually think I prefer it to being onsite! You have more of a direct focus with the trainer and they can see what you're doing so clearly and quickly. If we do more, I'm voting for remote!"
Alice Dovey
The Phoenix Group
"The course content was really relevant for me to put into practise through spreadsheets I already have. The course trainer explained thoroughly, was patient and helpful throughout, felt very at ease asking questions when I was unsure."
Tara Boyle
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Very enjoyable course, communication and procedure from start to finish was great as well. I had everything I needed well in advance, which is a huge plus; this meant no faffing around on the day-of and we were straight in there."
Bradley Swift
Torus62 Ltd
"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 is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"I thought the online format worked really well. The course was well-paced and covered all the topics I needed to enable me to fill in the gaps in my Power BI knowledge (having used it a little to date). I feel entirely confident to re-create reports that I have already been working with and also to create new ones with improved design and complexity."
Matthew Tierney
United Endeavour Trust
"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
"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)
"This was a really good course, the best course I've taken in a long time and I am already applying what I've learnt."
Vanessa Todman
Department for Education
"Thoroughly enjoyed the Dax course. The structure, content and delivery of the course was excellent. Everything flowed well and was easy to understand. I left the course knowing I could apply all the information I had learnt to my work"
Paula Gjelaj
PwC
"I thought using the remote desktop so that the trainer could see what we were doing on the screen was a really efficient way of running training. Time was made for questions and the trainer customised the training based on questions that were asked by the group. I learned so much from the three days. The YouTube videos were so clearly explained and were invaluable, they gave confidence that the course would be of high quality."

Hertfordshire County Council
