"Really enjoyed the course. A brilliant trainer, who answered any and all questions and really brought the content to life."
Rebecca Kaur
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"This was a great follow on course to the beginner level. The course was well paced and the trainer fielded questions directly related to our work. Facilities at the venue were excellent as well. The course handbooks with exercises are well produced and will provide a good reference for later use. I'd highly recommend this course/company. Your YouTube channel prompted us to originally choose your course and the fact that there was a regional venue for the class."

Aurelia Heyworth

"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."

Izzy Dhamdusdi

"Really great introduction to Power BI. Covered all the basics and I learned something new."
Imogen Soper
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Having attended Wise Owl courses before, I knew this would be the best way to learn more about SQL in a structured setting. I enjoyed the course and the content covered many useful SQL features. The trainer was friendly and welcoming and his delivery was excellent. He is clearly very knowledgeable about SQL and was able to answer all of our questions with ease. He gave us plenty of time to do the exercises with his help, which was particularly good as I sometimes find I forget things if I don't take the time to do them myself, once I've learnt them. Although a basic level of knowledge of SQL is naturally assumed going into an advanced course, I was never put on the spot or had to recall things that weren't in the course. I quite liked that approach."
Conor Fegan
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Great course - exactly the right level for me. Fantastic trainer."
Sally Frost
Department for Education
"Fantastic course and our trainer was amazing! The way the course ran with the use of remote desktop and the trainer being able to ensure you were following the right steps worked really well and ensured no one was left behind. I learnt so much from the course that I can't wait to apply into my day to day role!"
Laura Murphy
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer made the sessions really enjoyable. Loads of interaction and engagement. He clearly explained everything and I was able to understand. Couldn't ask for a better trainer."
