"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was just right as it was brisk but I could keep up. There were plenty of interesting topics and I was never just sat listening, I was always involved. My manager attended the course a few years ago and recommended it."
Scott Richardson
Newcastle Building Society
"I thoroughly enjoyed this course. An excellent trainer who maintained a steady pace and customised the course to focus on the areas I needed most."
Faith Hazell
Hertfordshire County Council
"The course was very well run and our trainer was great!"
Euan Wilkins
Department for Education
"The course content was great, perfect level for the group and our trainer was brilliant, very patient and kept us engaged throughout the day. We chose this course as we have a lot of data that we could analyse ourselves - we normally have to ask others for help which can take time but hopefully now we will be able to have a go. The content was great for beginners, and maybe in the future we can progress further!"
Laura Potter
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"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)
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course. A great teacher who didn't overcomplicate anything which I was a bit surprised by, as when you think of anything related to coding you'd assume it requires a lot of brain power which can be a bit overwhelming, but that wasn't the case at all. Would love to come back for another course. Thanks!"
Syed Hasnain
Sucden Financial Limited
"Trainer was exceptional, as he had been in all the previous training."
Stuart Gray
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"Loved every single part of it. The knowledge which was displayed by our trainer was worth every moment. If we decide to purchase other products you offer training on, would 100% recommend to our department and company wide. Best training session we have received to date. Nothing too much hassle either and always willing to get involved."
Nathan Rogers
Silverstone
"The course was well laid out, flowed really well and well presented. The trainer really knows her stuff."
Sarah Thrower
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"The training was informative and well paced. Plus the trainer was happy and willing to answer our questions and provide tips and tricks we maybe able to use."
Andrew Gardner
Ballyvesey Group
"Trainer was brilliant! Explained concepts so clearly and the size of the training group was great."
Sophie Alderson
Department for Education
"The trainer maintained energy throughout and was always happy to expand on any explanations if needed, which was brilliant. From great experience in the past I recommended Wise Owl to a colleague who was planning this training."
Eilidh Kerr
Maggie's
"The trainer was great with all questions asked and helped where she could. You don't find many people going away at night to find the answer."
Jamie Stewart
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"Our trainer was great! Content was useful and well presented. His knowledge of the Microsoft ecosystem was very impressive. Could have done with more jokes :)"
Brian Seery
Ministry of Justice
"Really enjoyed the course, it had a very good structure and our Trainer was top-class!"
Matt Hemming
Liquid Logic (System C)
"Our trainer was excellent, very patient, clear and responsive. Very good having the face to face training in our venue."
Juliette Summerfield
Volumatic Ltd
"I thought the online format worked really well. The course was well-paced and covered all the topics I needed to enable me to fill in the gaps in my Power BI knowledge (having used it a little to date). I feel entirely confident to re-create reports that I have already been working with and also to create new ones with improved design and complexity."
Matthew Tierney
United Endeavour Trust
"Thank you so much to our trainer who provided the training in an engaging and understandable way. Outside of the course content he was also invaluable supporting the team with issues and personalised help. We've used Wise Owl a number of times for training now."
Nena Adrienne
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"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)
"Really great course and really appreciate this being changed last minute to provide me with the content and experience needed for SSRS reporting."
