"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
"I thoroughly enjoyed the advanced sql course. I had attended the basic sql course in October and this course was a great continuation on the topics learnt. I picked up lots of new and useful skills that I will be able to transfer over into my daily work, which has drastically improved since the basic course. My trainer was superb also, extremely knowledgeable on every topic covered and his passion really came through. He answered all the questions we asked over the 2 days with great insight and knowledge and was really helpful over the duration of the course. I have really enjoyed both courses and would definitely recommend Wise Owl to anyone who requires training in the future."

"Very interesting course and learned a lot of new skills around DAX. Just need to put them into practice! Our trainer was also amazing - very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer with multiple different suggestions. "
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Excellent course, worked well online and felt an excellent interactive experience. Plenty of one on one time and would use again without any doubt. Used WiseOwl before and had the knowledge the course would provide everything needed."

"A great trainer, always keeping people engaged. So knowledgeable and great at explaining in a way that everyone could relate to."

"Great training experience, fantastic and knowledgeable trainer. 100% suited to my needs, could not recommend enough"
Jaroslaw Borgul
Ifor Williams Trailers Ltd
"I was very impressed with the range of content covered, especially given that the course was only a day long. The course material was clearly explained with lots of helpful exercises, allowing me to cement my learnings in a practical environment. Additionally, I appreciate the emphasis placed on explaining the best way to apply various formulae in practice (for example, by explaining the benefits of index,match and xlookup over a vlookup)."
Joel Bernbaum
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Our trainer delivered an excellent course. He was very engaging and patient and always happy to answer our questions. It was generally a very relaxing online learning environment and the pace of the course was perfect. Content was interesting and it really felt we could apply the learnings to our work. Thanks!"
Gerard Nugent

"So many additional tips and tricks from our trainer, as well as the core course content. Really useful and a big eye opener to what's possible! Thank you."
Philippa Reynolds

"I was really pleased by the quality of the course. The fact that the class size was small was also a major plus. I had come across Wise Owl courses on YouTube and was impressed by the quality of teaching."

"I really enjoyed how interactive and intuitive everything was. The use of the virtual desktop to connect to, kept me engaged and liked that it was not just reading or showing."
Bruce Forsman

"Course was well structured and very informative."
Ryan McNally

"Our trainer was amazing! She explained everything so well and had no problem re-explaining things for those that needed extra help. She made the 7 hours fly by. I feel like I've learned so much around excel and will be using my new knowledge going forward. Thank you!"
Kaylee Akerman
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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!"
Laura Murphy

"Our trainer made the course very enjoyable with his enthusiasm and humour. He made sure I felt like I could ask all and any questions I wanted, despite also having to pay extra attention to the other trainee."
Philip Howlett

"Great course! Our trainer was excellent in his delivery. Content was great and he was happy to answer off course points."
Scott Sharp

"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

"The course was really good and really well delivered, as always. The trainer made the whole experience very enjoyable. I was looking for something to replace VBA in the long term. I'm not sure Office Scripts is quite ready to do this yet but I think the groundwork has been laid and I look forward to future developments."
