Elliot Drury
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Trainer was excellent at explaining and teaching, friendly and helpful. Also good flow of material and progression of topics. I also think it was a good idea to check technical set-up before the course."
Michaela Hoffmannova
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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

"I found the trainer really dynamic, patient and chatty, and he explained all the content very well and made it interesting to work through by providing a database on films that was invigorating to work through."
George Wherry

"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."
