"The trainer was very engaging and explained the course in good detail, easily understood."
Daniel Smith
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"An excellent presenter and trainer. Well organised course with adequate time to ask questions as well as take breaks from work."
Benjamin Rees
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"As always, Wise Owl delivered a fantastic course. Straightforward to follow and came away feeling like I've learnt a lot. The paper guide is always appreciated too as it's easier to reference."
Gary Brittain
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Our trainer was very knowledgeable and presented the course very well. It was easy to follow along and learn what was being taught."
Andrew Kilby
H&T Presspart
"An amazing course, really provided clarity with the content and I am really looking forward to putting it into practice. Course tutor was really lovely, patient and knowledgeable. Starting to look at further courses with your company for power automate and DAX :) I knew what Power BI could do but had no idea where to start! Now I have attended this course I am confident I could put practices into place that will make my life easier and put capacity back into my diary."
Toni-Marie Norman
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Our trainer was great! He had the right level of enthusiasm and great knowledge of all aspects of Power BI and how it links to other more familiar tools. I was really worried about the remote aspect of the training, feeling like I wouldn't get as much out of it but I actually think I prefer it to being onsite! You have more of a direct focus with the trainer and they can see what you're doing so clearly and quickly. If we do more, I'm voting for remote!"
Alice Dovey
The Phoenix Group
"The course overall was great and I am happy I did it. The trainer was very friendly and taught everything thoroughly and with a lot of patience. The course materials were really helpful and thoroughly covered all aspects of SQL, especially for someone new to it! One thing which was particularly valuable was the step-by-step instructions included within."
Jasdeep Sandhu
CFC Underwriting
"The ice breaker the trainer used at the start was really important I felt. Not only was it relevant to the example scenarios used throughout the course, but it also helped create a comfortable atmosphere within the group. Additionally, the trainer’s follow-up on our discussions demonstrated genuine interest, which made the experience even more engaging."
Heeral Miller
The Phoenix Group
"Great course - exactly the right level for me. Fantastic trainer."
Sally Frost
Department for Education
"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)
"Very good course - very well delivered, with information given in digestible chunks and learned a lot of very useful tools and techniques. Instructor was very clear and explained each concept well. Would recommend this course."
Oliver Staunton
UK Research & Innovation (UKRI)
"Good pace and the trainer was very helpful, allowed regular breaks and encouraged us to ask questions. He also stayed at the end and was willing to show extra features that we asked for."
Michael Lawrence
Sellafield Ltd
"Our trainer was very supportive of the group and the course was well laid out. The provision of the materials and exercises as a soft copy helps reinforce the learning process and is essential."
Ozkan Cevat
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Training content and in particular the delivery from the trainer, was first class."
Mark Galpin
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"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
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"I really liked the trainer and he made everyone feel capable and welcome. The way the course ran was manageable and although there was a lot of content, the course never felt overwhelming."
James Hodgson
Sellafield Ltd
"The course content was perfect for our group and the trainer was really good - very personable and friendly. Wise Owl came recommended through a colleague who had attended a Wise Owl training session previously. Thank you."
Rachel Davies
Liverpool Health Partners
"A great tutor and his approachable manner meant the training session ran very well and was enjoyable. Having used PowerBI everyday I was concerned that I may not pick up much but I was pleasantly surprised to pick up a number of techniques that I will use going forward. Thanks."
Tom Miles
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"The course content was excellent and easy to follow, led by a very personable trainer who knew his stuff!"
Hayden Bryon

"Excellent experience of admin, training materials and our trainer was fantastic! A colleague recommended the training as we were really struggling to get started as a team with PowerBI. The training has provided us with the perfect starting point."
