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:

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 Platform + training. You can see all of our 528 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. His enthusiasm for the subject and product was infectious."
Vince Baglole
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Again the trainer was engaging, helpful and I really enjoyed the training he delivered."
Amy Adams
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust
"Trainer was amazing! Learning online was great."
Po Ruby
MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes)
"Another super course from the Wise Owl team. The pace and content were good and there wasn't any dead time. As an intro course I now have enough information to create meaningful reports and the manual is an excellent desk aid. I've used it several times this week! The pre course test was really worthwhile because my organisation's security is very tight. Having a work around to fall back on was worth sorting before the date. Purely because I've used Wise Owl for SQL training and rate the trainers. The team really do know their stuff and train from a position of knowledge."
Clare Hill
Hertfordshire Constabulary
"Thoroughly enjoyed this course and the trainer was absolutely fantastic."
Abbie Edwards
Grosvenor Food & AgTech
"Very good course taught at a good pace. Excellent trainer who engaged the group well and concentrated on certain content we'd find useful. Very helpful user guide as well, which I will find useful as I start to use Power BI more."
