"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."

"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!!!)"

"Being on a course with staff from my team made sure that the course was tailor made for us, it was great when we could ask questions especially how this training would work for our own excel workbooks. The trainer was very helpful to explain using our work examples. We had heard good things about Wise Owl, and as we had recently completed the intermediate course, it made good sense to continue with the same provider."

"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"

"An excellent teacher and trainer. The course content was specifically tailored to suit our needs and he did a wonderful job teaching us it and further enlightening us on a number of topics. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"A lot crammed in to three days, but the pacing was good with plenty of breaks. The opportunity to follow along with the remote connection was excellent, knowing we had exact copies of the environment and access to all the working files. Support before (connection check) and the printed documents were a great touch. Our trainer was genuinely happy to be teaching us, knew what he was talking about and was great with all our questions."
Mark Horton

"The course content was great. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "

"A brilliant trainer - really fantastic!! Being brand new to Power BI, I was a bit worried. Thanks to the trainer, I felt I could understand the principles of what was happening, which was great."
Oliver Harvey
Department for Education
"I absolutely loved the course and attending it has given me a lot of food for thought in how I can implement the use within my team. The trainer was superb and communicated clearly the 'how' and 'why' you'd do things in a certain way, looking out for common errors along the way. I needed to know about how to import data into SQL, which wasn't part of the course content, but the trainer was very accommodating by staying behind with me for 10 minutes to show me how I'd do this, which was very much appreciated. I am inexperienced when it comes to using databases and writing script/code, however I had heard about the benefits of using SQL as a tool and wanted to upskill. Thank you for the course - I hope to come on another sometime soon!"

"The tutor was lovely and very friendly. The course covered all topics but also was an opportunity to ask questions and look at some areas more than others."
Jess Lewis

"The course gave a great initial introduction to SQL and how to build useful queries that I can use to interrogate our datasets."
Imogen Soper

"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."

"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I found the course very useful and it taught me lots of things I didn't realise Power BI was capable of. I felt like I understood everything that was taught. A great trainer, very friendly and funny and able to answer all of the questions that we threw at him! I had used Power and this course was useful in making me aware of all of the different parts of Power BI, and the options that are available."
Thomas Morley

"Our trainer was so patient and helpful and made the course really interesting - thanks so much!"
Orla Emberson

"Our trainer was clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter and kept the course flowing well. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions too, which helped to put the course into context for our business area. I have attended previous training courses with Wise Owl."
