"This was probably one of the best courses I've been on. I was so impressed with the course content and the delivery. The trainer's ability to deliver quite extensive content while ensuring everyone understood and put it into practice, was awesome. His enthusiasm and attitude generally made this 2 day course an absolute pleasure. The venue was great, really good facilities and in a perfect central location. Going out for lunch was a great touch. Good to get out of the room for an hour and have some nice food! Thanks Wise Owl for a fab training experience!"
Maxine Ward
Sellafield Ltd
"Great trainer, really knowledgeable helpful and a lovely venue in London. Being able to attend despite being the only one on the course was great too! I think the videos that you provide online are brilliant and help to increase awareness of this training. "
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"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
"It's sometimes easy to give top marks on a review; however, this is absolutely deserved. The trainer was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. He ensured everyone was on track, kept note of queries and expanded things when he could. I thought the content, and flow, was really well thought out and appreciated the manual, etc. we get to keep (particularly as paper copies). I think the technology implementation for online was one of the best I have experienced too, with the trainer being able to see everything as it's going. Brilliant overall and I will be recommending you to others, and pushing for more courses."
David Earle
The Phoenix Group
"Excellent introduction into PBI, the trainer was great at explaining things and worked through the course at a good pace. Would definitely recommend!"
Thomas Sanderson
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust
"Our trainer was amazing! The whole team loved him. Super patient with all of us who were just using SQL for the first time. His knowledge was fantastic and he tried really hard to relate it back to our business and Data Bricks, for us which is a massive help. Everyone enjoyed the course and all feedback so far has been incredibly positive."
Jonathan Bibby
Adidas UK
"Fantastic trainer and delivered the course to a very high standard, I learnt a lot from the course which will make my role much easier and quicker."
Marie Lea
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"Fantastic Trainer and Online Training Experience. Power BI has always been something that I have been wary of, but thanks to the amazing trainer, everything was explained so simply, I now feel at ease with the system."
Terry Lancaster
Manchester Metropolitan University
"I thought using the remote desktop so that the trainer could see what we were doing on the screen was a really efficient way of running training. Time was made for questions and the trainer customised the training based on questions that were asked by the group. I learned so much from the three days. The YouTube videos were so clearly explained and were invaluable, they gave confidence that the course would be of high quality."
Mel Rea
Hertfordshire County Council
"The course was very well taught & it was the clear that the trainer was very knowledgeable and had lots of experience. Teaching online was great as the instructor could clearly see what we were doing on the Remote Desktop. Plenty of breaks which was good as too much information too quickly would normally cause a headache! Chose fast track SQL to learn as much as possible in a short space of time. Glad to have learnt parts from both intro to SQL and advanced SQL course, definitely made the most of our time."
Evie Topp
Clayton Glass Ltd
"I was really pleased by the quality of the course. The fact that the class size was small was also a major plus. I had come across Wise Owl courses on YouTube and was impressed by the quality of teaching."
Daniel Litscher
Individuals
"Tutor was friendly and very knowledgeable. Kept us all engaged and answered any queries we had of our own (as a company) and advised alternatives for what wasn't possible."
Victoria Ratcliffe
Dean Group International
"Excellent trainer and pace of days. He made you feel relaxed and explained the course content in a easy to understand manner."
Becky Hayes
APSE Manchester
"Really enjoyable introduction to SQL with a great trainer, who kept us all engaged throughout. The exercises were good reinforcement and had a nice level of challenge to them."
Dave Pringle
ista Energy Solutions Ltd
"Found it easy to follow, liked being able to see trainer's screen and replicate at the same time. Enjoyed doing the exercises as that helped to cement the process."
Ellen Botto
Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT
"The course was excellent, very insightful!"
Emma Morgan
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Great course, easy to follow and understand."
Vicky Auernigg

"Superb course. Ideal pace and content. Exactly what we needed. Great delivery from our trainer, really clear and interesting. Thank you."
Rob Evans

"The course manual will be useful as a reference to remind us of what we learnt on the course. Previously enjoyed courses delivered by WiseOwl. We trust WiseOwl for useful course material, engaging tutors that make the course interesting and administrating everything so easily."
Tom Morgan
