"It's great to get some extra information that isn't usually in the course (a walkthrough about measures was particularly helpful!)"
Jamie Yeo
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Our trainer ensured that we all stayed with him throughout and his pace and willingness to make DAX less like a foreign language made it a very enjoyable course. I cannot wait to put what we learnt into practice. Thank you! We had previously done the Intro to SQL and PBI courses which were also very well received - so it was a no-brainer to come back!"
Anthony Swales
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
"Amazing courses! Great trainer, pace and content. I literally couldn't have asked for better introductions to SQL and Power BI. Plus I have some many great resources to refer back to in the future :) Thank you!"
Simone Capp
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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! "
Lindsey Strickland
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)
"The course was well structured, with each section helpfully building on the contents of the previous. The trainer was very clear with his explanations and paced the course well. I was fortunate enough to be the only person on the course, so was able to ask plenty of questions and always received helpful and informative answers."
Ollie Jacob
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"I found the course very useful and the trainer was brilliant. The trainer was really friendly and made me feel at ease allowing me to feel more comfortable asking questions when I was stuck. The trainer was also incredibly patient when I did ask questions/get stuck and went at an appropriate speed for the course attendees. I had very little experience with SQL, but I feel much more confident to get started now, having been on this course."
Jade Berry
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable about SQL (and movies!) and was always keen and able to answer any of our questions with expert detail. It was a pleasure to interact with him and he was very welcoming. I would gladly take another course with Wise Owl in the future."
Conor Fegan
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"A really nice trainer who made the course really accommodating. A really worthwhile course."
Holly Keay
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Really liked the course - enjoyed how the trainer was willing to address additional questions at the end of the course, about indexing and how this applies to our work."
Siobhan Humphreys
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Trainer very engaging, easy to follow and knowledgeable - great combo!"
Anthony Swales
Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman
"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
Department for Education
"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."
Thomas Crozier
Home Office
"This course was pitched just right for our skill levels. Pacing and content were spot on. Our trainer was approachable and fielded all of our daft questions! The venue was located perfectly for the station. Materials provided in support of the course were really good and I'll keep them as reference. I can't think of anything that I would have liked to see changed. We chose this particular course as we were wanting to do a classroom based one (and Manchester was an ideal location) and we have been with Wise Owl before."
Nathan Cain
Home Office
"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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."
Nathan Cain
Home Office
"I was thoroughly impressed with the course overall. The pre check meeting was a great first impression to the course. Our instructor, was not only an amazing teacher but kept us all entertained and engaged over the 2 days. The course content and pace was perfect for someone like me with no experience of SQL and for those with a bit of experience. I would highly recommend. "
Eliza Edwards
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Really enjoyed the course, trainer was very helpful and approachable - I learned lots of shortcuts/refreshed my memory - really enjoyable (not often you say that about excel!!!)"
Alex Mason
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer made the course very accessible, really appreciated his enthusiasm!"
