"I found the course very usefully, the trainer was engaging, friendly and kept the pace of the teaching going but including everyone through out. A pleasant and informative day."
Susan Buick
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"Trainer was very enthusiastic and engaging. He was very pleasant and also willing to spend more, or less time, on whatever we felt was the most valuable for our jobs. This flexibility was really appreciated."
Callum Morley
PwC
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"Our trainer was great, went into detail and the tangents he went on were relevant to our job roles and useful pieces of skill."
Dan Carter
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. His enthusiasm for the subject and product was infectious."
Vince Baglole
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Course content was great, clear and easy to follow. A great instructor who kept the course engaging and moved at a good pace, with some good jokes cracked too."
Aurelia Heyworth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer was great, really engaging and knew his stuff while still being personable."
Christopher Hall
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"Our trainer was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions effectively and was extremely patient with everyone. Also, the handouts were extensive and will be a great tool when using Power BI moving forward. Thank you! We chose the Introduction course, as most of our team had little/no prior knowledge of Power BI. I would recommend this course to anyone starting out and will hopefully be able to complete more extensive training in the future."
Esther Finch
City of Lincoln Council
"The trainer was excellent; very engaging, knowledgeable and approachable."
Aiden Booth
Department for Education
"I found the session really helpful, there was a degree of overlap with Access and Excel which I hadn't realised with BI. More than anything though just having someone there to take us through the functionality was just what I needed, as I would open BI see the panel of buttons and quietly close it but now it all makes sense and I have a fair understanding of how to use it."
Dean Heathcote
East Cheshire NHS Trust
"Well structured course and the trainer adapted the pace of learning to benefit my needs. I feel I have come away from the course with more knowledge than I expected to and feel confident I will be able to utilise my new skills going forward. Manual is great. Thank you."
Julie Chapman
Hereford Sixth Form College
"The training session was a bit of an eye opener for me in terms of what can be done behind the scenes in Power BI e.g., with data cleaning and setting up parameters. Even though I am already interested in learning this stuff, I imagine it would be easy to deliver that kind of material in a very monotonous and uninteresting way, but the presentation style was really fun and lively which made it a lot easier I think to absorb the lessons. It’s also great to have paper copies of the manuals! Thanks again and I hope to take you up on your offer of sending queries your way, I am sure I will."
Simon Hayes
Hounslow Council
"An excellent trainer. He explained everything really well and also made the subject of the course really interesting."
Tina Samways
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The course tutor demonstrated in-depth knowledge, he encouraged questions and made the subject interesting and enjoyable. Thank you."
Rebecca Spurling
PwC
"The course structure and coaching method were great. Our trainer was a joy to work with, his experience and expertise, as well as people skills were amazing. Could not ask for a better trainer. Will defo be in touch for further training courses and advise etc."
Adaul Akbar
DHU Healthcare CIC
"I really enjoyed the course, I learnt some new short-cuts that I will definitely be using going forward. Our trainer was very polite and helpful throughout the day and very patient with the group with some being slower than others. Overall very impressed and will be recommending Wise Owl Training to others. I wanted to understand excel better, I’ve been using excel for years and stuck in old habits with a lot of things that have been made easier eg. Filters, tables, sum."
Amanda Lanchester
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"The trainer was brilliant, his knowledge & delivery was great and made the 2 days very enjoyable."
Dan Sexton
Derby Homes Ltd
"The tutor was really good at making sure the people with more experience didn't get bored whilst going at a pace slow enough for the beginners. The course material is clear and structured."
Sam Wareham
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"I really enjoyed the training and thought our trainer was fantastic at taking us through the content at the right pace, whilst also dealing with topics that came up ad hoc. This will really help us on our Power BI journey! We've used Wise Owl a few times now and find the course content and trainers to be excellent. Thank you!"
Richard Warren
Southend-on-Sea City Council
