Richard Franklin

"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."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"The course was very well run and our trainer was great!"
Euan Wilkins

"A great trainer and very patient when trying to get us all set up. Think it can be difficult to gauge an audience when you are doing a group session, however our trainer was very engaging, supportive and delivered the course at a good pace."

Enmanuel Moreno Gomez

"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"Really great introduction to Power BI. Covered all the basics and I learned something new."
Imogen Soper
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"A fantastic trainer who was always responsive to questions and comments during the sessions. Most enjoyable training I've had so far!"
Adrian Sandtvos
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This was a really good course, the best course I've taken in a long time and I am already applying what I've learnt."
Vanessa Todman
Department for Education
"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."
Debbie Bernard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The trainer, was brilliant, really informative. Useful learning the processes and she had a great way of conveying the learning. I was a last minute addition to the course. I wasn't aware of Wise Owl but I will be researching and looking out for future courses."
Adam Goodall
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer was great, really engaging and knew his stuff while still being personable."
