"A knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainer, who read the group well. He picked up on the lightbulb moments (for us) and helped to talk through potential solutions we could apply. Would highly recommend Wise Owl for future training."
Jude Brennan-Ward
Cambridgeshire Constabulary
"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
"Another excellent course delivered by Wise Owl. Thank you. Wise Owl content is always delivered in a manner that enthuses and motivates; making often complicated subjects much easier to decipher and digest. I will be using Wise Owl again."
Christopher Evans
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Our trainer was very engaging and supportive throughout the session. She had no issue with me asking questions or asking to have things repeated - it was encouraged! The booklets were useful for further reference after the course which allowed me to use my knowledge gained in the work place. I am looking forward to completing my Advanced course at a later date!"
Megan Good
Kent Police
"Another fab course provided by Wise Owl. The trainer was lovely, very helpful and super knowledgeable. Course content was great and covered lots of topics. Really nice venue, and great lunch choices!"
Lyndsey Bell
Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service
"A great instructor, who made sure everyone was at the same point and taught through a fully interactive three days – which best fits my learning style. Thank you for the well-delivered course on PBI and intro to DAX."
James Roberts
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our trainer for his patience and kindness throughout the course. I truly enjoyed the sessions, which were delivered at a smooth and steady pace, making the content easy to absorb and understand."
Jubril Aminu
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Superb course. Ideal pace and content. Exactly what we needed. Great delivery from our trainer, really clear and interesting. Thank you."
Rob Evans
North West Air Ambulance
"An amazing course, really provided clarity with the content and I am really looking forward to putting it into practice. Course tutor was really lovely, patient and knowledgeable. Starting to look at further courses with your company for power automate and DAX :) I knew what Power BI could do but had no idea where to start! Now I have attended this course I am confident I could put practices into place that will make my life easier and put capacity back into my diary."
Toni-Marie Norman
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Really good course and the trainer was excellent! I like how time was managed, making sure we spent more time on the more important things and less time on things we may never use."
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"Really good course, that was really well delivered. You could tell it hadn't just been picked off a Microsoft shelf."
Dave Clarke
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Course was great, trainer was very clear, friendly and knowledgeable. Content was good and great to be given a course manual too, very handy! "
Nazma Begum
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"I have attended a few PBI courses and we had by far the best tutor I've come across, his knowledge and teaching methods were amazing! He brought context to the lessons using examples to explain difficult DAX concepts by comparing and contrasting DAX formulas, which I found easier to digest. Also, we were all working together as a group so no one was left behind. The course was chosen based on the listed content, but our trainer made a valid point that all (Wise Owl) course instructors are encouraged to influence the course contents and tailor these when needed, I think this approach works well!"
Lola Beyioku
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"The course was excellent, very insightful!"
Emma Morgan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Great trainer, really knowledgeable helpful and a lovely venue in London. Being able to attend despite being the only one on the course was great too! I think the videos that you provide online are brilliant and help to increase awareness of this training. "
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"I really enjoyed the course and found it very helpful with the course handbook making it easy to apply what we have learnt. Our trainer was a lovely person and excellent trainer, very happy with his delivery of the course and his patience with us! Recommendation came from a colleague."
Jen Lloyd
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"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
"Really helpful, great trainer who was more than happy to answer any questions and show practical examples/solutions in a way that was understandable."
Andeep Chohan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"I enjoyed the 3-day course, I found all elements beneficial. I have done a Power BI course before with learning tree and can honestly say I found this more useful, and I feel more confident with Power BI than going into the course. The course was well structured, the units were well balanced through the 3 days. The trainer was the star of the show, it was very clear he was very knowledgeable and experienced. He explained each unit in a way which was easy to grasp and practise. He also did a very good job explaining the under workings of DAX to help us understand what was going on in the background. What I liked most was the movie data set we worked with throughout the whole course. Most data sets are related to sales, companies etc. I found working with a movie data set more interesting and engaging. Great three days, I would happily study with Wise Owl again."
Jonathan Hernandez
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Overall a great course, the small number of participants made it more welcoming. The course booklets is probably one of the best if not better course materials I've ever received on a course."
