"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
"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
"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
"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
"A really good trainer, able to cope easily with the random questions we had and to ensure that everyone was able to keep up, despite differing levels of knowledge."
Zoe Oakley
Hertfordshire Constabulary
"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
"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 thoroughly enjoyed the course and now feel ready to progress to the next step in my SQL journey. The course was well presented and our trainer was very encouraging and approachable. Thank you for an excellent experience!"
Bethan Morgan

"The course was excellent, very insightful!"
Emma Morgan
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
"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
"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

"Sam is an excellent trainer who supported everyone throughout and his passion is (almost) catching!"
