Not sure if we deserve all the reviews you can see on this site? Here are some of the things we do (very) differently to earn them.
How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:
Our course manuals and exercises are by some way the best in the computer training industry. Fortunately you don't have to take our word for this - you can see for yourself:
Our values are simple - we treat people as we would like to be treated ourselves. So:

We've put a lot of thought into making our online courses as useful and interactive as possbile:

Can't see the dates/course type that you want? Create your own onsite course (and tailor the content too!).
If you can't see the course you want listed above, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.
Here are some comments we've received about our Power BI + training. You can see all of our 502 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"Really helpful, great trainer who was more than happy to answer any questions and show practical examples/solutions in a way that was understandable."
Andeep Chohan

"An amazing trainer, really knowledgeable and open to discuss our concerns or issues."
Adam Paginton
DHU Healthcare CIC
"Fantastic, engaging and entertaining trainer who moved us through so many different parts of PowerBI, we really got what we needed out of the course. Every question was answered with ease. We were recommended WiseOwl by another company who had equal success with the training."
Ruth Fowler
MPM Products
"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
"Our trainer is so engaging and full of enthusiasm and support, never met a trainer like him!"
Rose Kenyon
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG)
"From the moment we engaged Wise Owl they were professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and not pushy. The pre-set-up was easy and the team were very responsive with all communication we sent. Our trainer was fantastic, engaging, patient, funny, and adapted to our level of experience. I couldn't be happier with the service I got. I was recommended this course from another team in my business, and I can see why they recommended it. I would recommend Wise Owl and will hopefully find another reason to use you again!"
