"The trainer was very knowledgeable and the pace of the course was adjusted to ensure that everyone understood the exercises. A very enjoyable course."
Karen Hammond
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"Really enthusiastic trainer."
Siobhan Thompson
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"The course was very well taught & it was the clear that the trainer was very knowledgeable and had lots of experience. Teaching online was great as the instructor could clearly see what we were doing on the Remote Desktop. Plenty of breaks which was good as too much information too quickly would normally cause a headache! Chose fast track SQL to learn as much as possible in a short space of time. Glad to have learnt parts from both intro to SQL and advanced SQL course, definitely made the most of our time."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass Ltd
"Really enjoyed the course content and 1-1 interaction with trainer met my additional learning needs. The Trainer was patient and enabled me to practice on exercises that l could use in my work. "
Joanne Brown-Barnes
Network Plus
"The course was very well delivered. Our trainer was very knowledgeable and his jokes even brought a positive mood to the course. He was very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace, will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I chose this course to gain more of an understanding how to use the different elements of SQL to manipulate the data in our council performance system. This has certainly helped me a lot and I am more confident of filtering data, using joins etc which I was a bit apprehensive about before."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln Council
"Our trainer was an excellent provider. The course although quite fast paced, had excellent workbooks and manuals provided and the opportunity to ask questions meant that no one got left behind."
Julie Radcliffe
St Leger Homes of Doncaster
"Excellent course. It moved along at quite a pace but was always easy to follow. Covered everything I needed to feel confident working alone. Recommended by co-workers"
John Dalzell
Sellafield Ltd
"Really slick course detailing useful SQL and shortcuts. Brilliant trainer; interested in everyone's progress and helped without embarrassing candidates. Proper nerdy environment, I loved it!! I would recommend Wise Owl to anyone who will listen. Chose the course to fill gaps in my knowledge as I've worked with SQL for over 20 years but never had any formal training."
Catherine Reilly
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"To be honest, I received the manual(s) and my first thought was 3 days of training with this amount of content and all online - what a nightmare! I'm a software systems trainer myself and know first hand how tech can fail or lag and it's like trying to herd cats keeping your audience engaged and ensuring everyone is on track. We had a first class trainer, extremely knowledgeable and relatable. He kept the training on track and managed to keep everyone engaged. The frequent breaks definitely helped to maintain concentration and the interactive examples helped to bring the theory to life. The fact that he could also see all of our screens added an extra level of cohesion, something that I have (enviably) never seen before. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wise Owl for any future training needs. "
Sandra Hopwood
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"The trainer was very engaging and explained the course in good detail, easily understood."
Daniel Smith
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Enjoyed the course and learned a lot about Power BI, which I will be putting to use. I have been on Wise Owl courses before and always found them to be good."
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"An excellent trainer and for content that could have been a bit dry, he kept it engaging and helped people understand at whatever level they were at. He is clearly exceptionally knowledgeable and this came across in a really approachable manner. He was happy to spend more time with people when required."
Matthew Fielding
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"The presentation was very clear and our tutor was an excellent speaker and trainer."
Ping Zang
Avon Fire & Rescue Service
"My overall experience was great, I think it was well set for online training. My trainer for this course was very welcoming, friendly, easy to talk to and his ability to explain and teach was very impressive."
Husna Ghafoor
The University of Manchester
"Thank you for delivering a fantastic course. "
Shahbaaz Khan
Ultimate Products Global Sourcing (UPGS)
"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)
"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
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC)
"Really great course. I liked the pace the course ran at - fast enough to keep me interested but slow enough that I could keep up. Very approachable trainer & I learnt much more than I expected to."
Vicki Howard
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"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)
"Great course, really enjoyed it. As a total beginner, the course was perfectly paced for me. The Trainer was very knowledgeable and happy to take the time to thoroughly go through and answer any questions that cropped up as we went through the course. The manual that accompanies the course is really good too and will be really useful when I embark on my first few reports. Thank you and I look forward to Power BI in a few weeks time :-)"
