"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was taught very well with useful information on key topics and some excellent exercises to actually put the skills into practice. The trainer was highly knowledgeable and went at a good speed, to ensure everything was clearly explained. Others in my organisation had attended the course and found it useful and taught well. Many thanks."
Clare Taylor

"Great course and a great trainer, only wish there'd been an extra day."
Neil Rutherford
Halton Borough Council
"Course was great - trainer was very knowledgeable/flexible and happy to talk about related subjects/put things in a context that suited our needs. Have used twice before and course material always met our needs/exceeded expectations."
Luke Ferrans
Southampton City Council
"The course was very well delivered. Our trainer was very knowledgeable and his jokes even brought a positive mood to the course. He was very helpful and delivered the course at a very good pace, will definitely be doing another course with you in the future. I chose this course to gain more of an understanding how to use the different elements of SQL to manipulate the data in our council performance system. This has certainly helped me a lot and I am more confident of filtering data, using joins etc which I was a bit apprehensive about before."
Scott Lea
City of Lincoln Council
"I really liked how our trainer addressed issues an individual was having in a sensitive way, without anyone else in the group being aware it was you, yourself clicking on the wrong things!"
Vicky Toomey
Southampton City Council
"Our trainer was great! Really personable and great at engaging us all."
Sarah Hulme
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Perfectly paced course and our trainer made it so easy to follow and if someone struggled he didn't call them out on it, but helped by making suggestions. Perfect way to do it. The course material is very useful and it's good to have."
Vanella Mead
Southampton City Council
"Booking and course information were all communicated well. The venue and pace was good. There was a lot of content to cover (re-caps were most welcomed). The trainer showed patience throughout and was able to answer all questions."
Vicky Kearney
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Very good training. Well paced, thorough and interactive. Supporting materials were very good and the trainer was very approachable, very helpful and had a really good manner."
Neil Harrison
Halton Borough Council
"I loved the course, it was very engaging and got me so excited about Power BI. I actually love its potential and can see where it can be put into practice within my Service."
Diane Cooper-Ramsden
Barnsley MBC
"Enjoyed the course and learned a lot about Power BI, which I will be putting to use. I have been on Wise Owl courses before and always found them to be good."
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The content of the course was great and was supported by an extensive manual which I am grateful for. The course is really well organised and I loved that the trainees were applying live what they were learning using the remote desktop. I also loved that the trainer could see on his screen what we were doing and give us live feedback. I have seen how Devon County Council has used Power BI to share their traffic collision data in a visual way, and we would like to achieve something similar in Plymouth. The course is one step forward towards it."
Angelique Kergosien
Plymouth City Council
"Thought the course was excellent. All the resources were very good e.g. the handout, pen drive with all the examples. Course content was all relevant. Was a very quick pace but I found that good. Our trainer was great too."
Rachel Taylor
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The trainer was amazing, he really knew his stuff, was interesting in the way he presented things (even when the topic could have easily been boring) and went above and beyond."
Joe Sanders-Wilde
Hounslow Council
"I really enjoyed this course and found the trainer very knowledgeable and approachable. This is the second time I have done the course - in classroom and online and I enjoyed both of them. I wanted a refresher (on what I had previously learnt) as I don't use excel enough in work to put a lot of the tasks into practice. I still learnt extra/new things and I would recommend this course. "
Claire Harrison
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"It was great to know that our trainer could see what we were doing remotely and track with us. A positive experience of an on-line training course. Thank you."
Beverley McNamara
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"After the course I have a much better understanding of Power BI in general and functionality of DAX."
Olga Sergushova
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"It was a busy three days, but we knew that before we booked. The trainer was superb, clearly instructing us with no repetition or waffle. The online aspect worked very well indeed, I'm sure the trainers must appreciate being able to see each attendees screen. A good email discussion with Wise Owl helped guide us to choose this course."
Kenton Reader
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council
"It was a very good course, definitely thinking of ways to apply it to our team and use it in the future. I'm hoping that the exercise booklet provided will put theory into practice and the trainer has offered to go through it at a later date, which is very kind of him. Really enjoyed learning from our trainer, he has a likeable personality and is a good teacher."
