"I was very pleased with the course and pace of it, the small group I think helped as whilst we had differing levels of experience we were similarly matched. The trainer was friendly and helpful throughout. The resources sent out prior to the training session were also beneficial and the trainer referred back to it at relevant points, so we knew where to look when not on the course. I had already used the software previously but found I still learnt a lot from this course. I had some knowledge of the content but it had been self taught for the majority and as such I wanted to learn what the software could do, to support the work that I was already doing."

"The course itself was great, and the content was very useful. The trainer was very nice and friendly. I've learned a lot and would definitely recommend it to a friend."
Coralie Bish
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"I found this course extremely useful and easy to follow - our trainer was stupendous at taking his time to explain the content and monitoring our practice/responding to any questions. My colleagues recommended Wise Owl and now that I’ve taken the course, I highly recommend it to others."
Jenna de St. Jorre
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"An excellent trainer, clearly very knowledgeable and experienced in running the course. He was personable and witty, keeping it light but also quite firm to ensure we kept on track. The pace felt right, and I liked that there was in-person training, not just on-line; that helps me focus on learning as it's easier to get distracted when on-line. The support materials for reference afterwards are also very useful"
Karen Skinner
LifeArc
"Very knowledgeable and helpful trainer."

"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 great trainer, who explained everything very clearly. He made sure all topics were covered and understood by everyone. Really enjoyed this course and will definitely be looking into attending more Wise Owl courses."
Cassandra Wan

"I thought the course was extremely well led, was delivered at a pace that reflected individual's progress and with a good amount of humour! It also reflected our bespoke requirements."
Matt Franklin
LifeArc
"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
Stroke Association
"I was happy with the course. The trainer knows his stuff and answered all our questions easily. He also ensured that he addressed any gaps in our knowledge. The course materials are clear. I will have to go back to go through some exercises but I feel far more confident in being able to understand, create or modify more complex SQL scripts now."
Christine Milling
L&Q Group
"Instructor was very informed and super helpful."
Katherine Mercer
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"I was the only one on this course and this meant I was able to ask as many questions as I needed, cover the topics I felt were most useful, and complete as many practice exercises as I wanted. The trainer, could not have been better - he explained everything really well, and was more than happy to answer all my questions, even if he'd already gone over it. The online nature of the course worked really well and the day was a good length. The manual is super detailed and helpful, and it's good to have the course exercises book too so I can practice on my own after the course. The fact the class was capped at 6 was a real draw, especially as it was a virtual course. The course overview was also comprehensive and it seemed aimed at complete beginners, which was what we needed."
Tilly Baker Hine
UK-German Connection
"Great course, I really appreciated our trainer's flexible approach and patient teaching."
Tracey Mortimer-Brown
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"Trainer was amazing! Learning online was great."
Po Ruby
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"The trainer was great, answered a number of specific questions and expanded to explain why things worked the way they do, which really helped with my own understanding. The training was well paced with plenty of opportunities to have a go and ask questions."
Ruth Pearson
Maggie's
"A great trainer who made everyone feel at ease & was extremely knowledgeable. Even though the subject was something that I thought I would struggled with, the training was broken down into small enough sections that we could all follow easily."
Stephen Catlow
LifeArc
"The course content and the exercises were really helpful. The trainer went through it at a very good pace and explained things very clearly. Course content was clear and well-priced for a 2-day course."
Marjana Akther-Bushra
Sightsavers
"The course was brilliant and the trainer really took his time to explain this which was SO good because SQL is a difficult application to learn. He done really well. So glad I used Wise Owl, I hope to go on the PowerBI training soon, thanks again!"
Amelia Browne
L&Q Group
"I knew a little bit of DAX already but this course has given me just what I needed to continue developing my Power BI skills."
Irina Diaz
Look Ahead Care and Support
"The course is full on but very informative and the course files are great. I have trained with Wise Owl before and found it great."
