"Excellent as always :)"
Jon Nagl
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer was engaging and informative, and led the course at the right pace. He had a good understanding of when the group needed a break (especially on the second day of the course which took place on Friday!), and was attentive and responsive to any questions."
Ollie Jacob
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"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."

"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 absolutely loved the course and attending it has given me a lot of food for thought in how I can implement the use within my team. The trainer was superb and communicated clearly the 'how' and 'why' you'd do things in a certain way, looking out for common errors along the way. I needed to know about how to import data into SQL, which wasn't part of the course content, but the trainer was very accommodating by staying behind with me for 10 minutes to show me how I'd do this, which was very much appreciated. I am inexperienced when it comes to using databases and writing script/code, however I had heard about the benefits of using SQL as a tool and wanted to upskill. Thank you for the course - I hope to come on another sometime soon!"

"All good for me. Clearly like any course of this nature, I now need to find time to put the learning into practice."
Jeff Bird
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
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"Our trainer was so patient and helpful and made the course really interesting - thanks so much!"
Orla Emberson
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"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)
"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)
"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 fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"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 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
"Great course! Good practical overview of PowerBI, made even better because our trainer had developed content and exercises tailored to our data. He really knows his stuff and answered all our questions well. Other colleagues had done this course and gave great feedback on it."
Julie Kitchin
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I've been on two Wise Owl courses so far and both times I started as a complete beginner and left feeling fairly confident to use the software package, I've been trained on. Our trainer was fantastic. I really appreciated his enthusiasm throughout and his patience when helping me resolve mistakes."
Libin Osman
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"Good pace for the course and thoroughly explained examples were used throughout. I like that all the resources used within the course are available to use afterwards."
Kate Riley
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"Good friendly energetic trainer. Good flow of content kept interest."
Robert Blincoe
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government
"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
"Lovely and enthusiastic trainer who remained upbeat and engaging throughout."
