"I thought this course was really great, really comprehensive and easy to follow. Having the course materials sent out is also really helpful for work after the course. The trainer was amazing! He was so personable and patient and it must be so hard to to teach not in a standard classroom environment, but he did a wonderful job and left a really great lasting impression."

"This course worked perfectly for me. The trainer was patient, engaging and very knowledgeable. There was enough hands on material for me to feel really confident in using Power BI and DAX and I could really see the practical applications of the course content in my day-to-day role. The course documentation has proved to be invaluable reference material helping to consolidate the skills learned."

"Great course! Good practical overview of PowerBI, made even better because our trainer had developed content and exercises tailored to our data. He really knows his stuff and answered all our questions well. Other colleagues had done this course and gave great feedback on it."

"The Trainer was great. The pace was quick enough to keep you focused but not so quick that we got lost. He was very good at talking us through any problems we encountered."

"We had an exceptional instructor who, as well as being incredibly knowledgeable, had the patience and understanding to adapt his teaching to each student. Would highly recommend for individual and team training. Course content was on point as well, which was the main reason to go with Wise Owl."

"A very patient, articulate and inspiring trainer who is clearly passionate about his subject. Power BI was new to me and I found the course overwhelming and tiring at times but the trainer kept me going with his good natured enthusiasm! "

"I enjoyed the course and picked up loads of really useful tips. I am already beginning to use Power BI to produce new visualisations for data that I am currently analysing."

Simon Hart

"All good for me. Clearly like any course of this nature, I now need to find time to put the learning into practice."

Jeff Bird

"I really enjoyed this course. I've done a number of courses over the years (not Wise Owl Training and not PBI), but this was head and shoulders above the others. It might be that I was interested in learning about the topic, but the whole experience was seamless. The pre-course IT check was an important detail (I did a course the previous week with another provider and this beset with IT issues upon starting). Using the remote desktop meant I had easy access to the data and the trainer could see when I did something wrong. The trainer was also very good. I'd actually be happy to do another online course again (even after Covid) - I didn't feel like I lost anything by doing it this way. It was booked for me - but I'm glad the person who booked it, chose Wise Owl."

Stuart Andrews

Valuation Office Agency

"Overall a very enjoyable, very informative and easy to follow course with a good link between the training and exercises. The pack sent out was excellent and couldn't speak highly enough of our trainer who was always on hand at the end of session/break and lunch to run through any additional questions."

Darren Waters

"Completely changed my understanding of working with data."

Deepak Thakur

"Excellent course, both content and delivery. Very impressed with trainer's knowledge and use of practical examples, as well as his willingness to explore useful areas outside the normal course syllabus."

Jack Looman

Crown Commercial Service

"The trainer was brilliant, really knew the subject well and I loved the flow of the course. I had used PBI in the past without any formal training, now feel I can go back into PBI and do things correctly. Documenting work is always an issue and was provided with some really good tips when developing PBI reports. Great course."

Ranjit Rai

"Possibly the most useful training course I've attended in 20 years! Looking forward to putting the learning into practice and I feel confident doing so with the training materials and annotated pbix files that have been provided. Great stuff."

Jon Nagl

Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)

"I thought this was a really good course and would definitely recommend. It helped that there were only three of us and I felt I could ask questions at any point. The course content was good and covered Power BI really well. The trainer was also really nice and gave us the opportunity to talk to him, before or after the course if we needed a hand with anything."

Banita Mistry

"3 excellent courses and the trainer helped me so much."

Edward Wenham

"It ran really smoothly. A great trainer - very thorough, goes at a good pace and is able to answer questions well. Course materials are also great."

Zoe Anastasiou

"Really enjoyed this course. Thought the training was really practical and our trainer was fantastic. Really engaging and made everything very easy to understand. Came away with loads of ideas for my business. Second course I have attended with you. Really impressed by your trainers and how much care and attention you take to delivery and course materials A++++"
