"Excellent course well pitched and well led, by a trainer who has an excellent approach. He was very patient and personable."
Martin Miller
Manchester Metropolitan University
"The trainer was very knowledgeable and the pace of the course was adjusted to ensure that everyone understood the exercises. A very enjoyable course."
Karen Hammond
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"A great trainer and very patient when trying to get us all set up. Think it can be difficult to gauge an audience when you are doing a group session, however our trainer was very engaging, supportive and delivered the course at a good pace."
Daljit Patel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"I was impressed by our trainer's thoroughness - any questions that he could not answer on the spot, he took away and answered the next day, having found workarounds to even the most obscure of questions we had for him! His pace of teaching and clarity was perfect, taking the stress out of learning new things."
Lisa Anastassiu
The Phoenix Group
"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Our trainer made the sessions really enjoyable. Loads of interaction and engagement. He clearly explained everything and I was able to understand. Couldn't ask for a better trainer."
Taiba Chaudhry
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Great course. Really personable trainer. Good content, delivered clearly."
Rachel Brown
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"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)
"Very enjoyable course, communication and procedure from start to finish was great as well. I had everything I needed well in advance, which is a huge plus; this meant no faffing around on the day-of and we were straight in there."
Bradley Swift
Torus62 Ltd
"Really good course, that was really well delivered. You could tell it hadn't just been picked off a Microsoft shelf."
Dave Clarke
London Ambulance Service NHS Trust
"Absolutely great training course from the team at Wise Owl. I’ve had great feedback from the whole team, and I know we all got absolutely loads out of the two days .We’ll all be sure to recommend you for any other training that we might need"
Jenna Denson
MPM Products
"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)
"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
"A good introduction to Python. A very patient trainer who did a great job delivering and giving extra help when required. Many thanks."
Louise Moir
The Phoenix Group
"Really liked our trainer who was a great explainer - keep it up!"
Benedict Summers
PricewaterhouseCoopers
"An amazing teacher! I was particularly impressed with the pacing off the classes, they never felt too fast or slow. It was a matter of layering simple concepts on top of each other until we could understand something quite complicate, which really worked for me. I've been singing Wise Owl's praises ever since!"
Conor Anderson
PEI Group
"The course was delivered at the right pace and covered a sufficient level of details. Our trainer was excellent at explaining the functionality as we worked through each exercise."
Richard Franklin
Crown Commercial Service
"All good! I found Wise Owl through a google search about 10 years ago, but I can't remember what I searched for! We used you to deliver some training back then and came back to you this time."
Joanne Elcock
Rochdale BC
"Covered lots in the two days, clearly explained."
Amy Hilton
Cormar Carpets
"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
