"Really enjoyed the course. A brilliant trainer, who answered any and all questions and really brought the content to life."
Rebecca Kaur

"Really enjoyed this course. Thought the training was really practical and our trainer was fantastic. Really engaging and made everything very easy to understand. Came away with loads of ideas for my business. Second course I have attended with you. Really impressed by your trainers and how much care and attention you take to delivery and course materials A++++"

"Great training, with an amazing trainer. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept the group fully engaged and made sure everyone was comfortable with the content. A great session"
Enmanuel Moreno Gomez
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Our trainer was great, very clear and happy to go into any questions we came up with. I liked how flexible the course was depending on the attendees' ability levels and interests. I also thought the model of typing along with the trainer (rather than sitting through a bunch of slides) worked really well to keep me engaged and awake, even on a Friday afternoon!"
Isobel Russ
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"The tutor was lovely and very friendly. The course covered all topics but also was an opportunity to ask questions and look at some areas more than others."
Jess Lewis
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
"Our trainer was excellent! He presented enthusiastically, encouraged engagement and answered questions constructively. He tested positive for Covid half way through the online course but pushed through despite this just as enthusiastically as before, when he could have very reasonably found an alternative teacher to take over."
Liviu Nafornita
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)
"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

"Our tutor was fantastic, a really great course conveyor. Content was useful and interesting as well. Would highly highly recommend."
Seán Guilfoyle

"Our trainer explained things so clearly and was so patient when I got a bit behind. An excellent trainer."

"The whole team at WiseOwl were great! With some technical problems our end, I can only thank them for their perseverance with getting their training course delivered to their standard high quality. Our trainer was super friendly, funny and very, very knowledgeable. Everything you want from someone running a 2 day course. He was engaging throughout, and built a very good relationship with the team very quickly. This meant the training was fun for all and invaluable in terms of the skills and knowledge shared. Having previously attended a course from WiseOwl, I knew that picking another one would be of equal quality. The team were about to get stuck into complex excel modelling, therefore, being able to create a bespoke course for the business modelling, to cover some advanced features was super important."
Matthew Nash
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"The course was fantastic; really helpful and the trainer made sure the course was fun and engaging. I've learnt invaluable skills which I'll be able to apply to my day to day work."
Ryan Edwards
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"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)
"An excellent trainer who explained everything in a very engaging way. I was very unconfident with joins and aggregate functions before the course but now feel competent with them thanks to him."
Thomas Crozier

"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

"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 great delivery and learned so much! Great training thank you - felt able to ask questions."
Siobhan Humphreys
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."
