"The course was really engaging and the tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the content at the right pace. The paper workbooks were great as I could make notes for each section. "
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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."

"The paperwork was received within time, and the training covered everything as described and what was required - doing online was excellent, everything went smoothly - would recommend to others."

Imogen Soper

"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!"

"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
"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)
"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

"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."
Taiba Chaudhry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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

"An amazing trainer! Very engaging and helpful."
Holly Turner
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"Trainer was brilliant! Explained concepts so clearly and the size of the training group was great."
Sophie Alderson
Department for Education
"I really enjoyed the course and the way it was set out - one of the most enjoyable and useful training sessions I've done. A lot of content was covered at a good pace with options to ask questions. I really like the way the course is interactive and easy to keep up."
Zahra Bashir
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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)
"Lovely and enthusiastic trainer who remained upbeat and engaging throughout."
Louisa Martin

Mitch Chambers

"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."
