"Fantastic course, well delivered and very engaging!"
Suzie Beith
The Phoenix Group
"I thoroughly enjoyed the training course. The material was both comprehensive and practical. An excellent trainer who was highly skilled in addressing all of our questions! I’ve previously taken training through WiseOwl and would highly recommend."
Francesca Birkby
MUFG Securities
"Brilliant course for a beginner, especially with the course manual provided - really useful when working on anything Power BI. Our trainer was absolutely brilliant with us all, judged the pace perfectly and was happy to go on small tangents when questions were asked. "
Mark Bird
The Phoenix Group
"Our trainer was brilliant. Pacing was great. As a company we've used Wise Owl multiple times before. Every course they've run has been fantastic."
Mary Groutage
Sucden Financial Limited
"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
"Fantastic course with a fantastic trainer, who really went the extra mile and did an amazing job explaining coding concepts."
Nathaniel Sillett
Dale Underwriting Partners
"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
"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
Stuart Wallace
Dale Underwriting Partners
"A great trainer - very friendly, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The course was organised and efficient. The manual was very useful as we learnt a lot over the two days, so having all the information to hand and to take away was great. Would recommend the course."
Jess Dyer
CFC Underwriting
"Great course content, booklet is really helpful and nicely printed. Trainer was really helpful and engaging. Thanks again."
Vickesh Patel
Clearwater International
"Great course, really enjoyed it. It has so much potential to help out with day to day tasks at both work and home. Really useful to have the interactions and overviews of other Microsoft products such as Power BI, adaptive card designer and MS Graph. Whilst I can understand that the new designer has bugs, it was actually quite beneficial encountering these during the course as it allowed us to see how to problem solve them in the future."
Kerry Coyne
The Phoenix Group
"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"The course overall was great and I am happy I did it. The trainer was very friendly and taught everything thoroughly and with a lot of patience. The course materials were really helpful and thoroughly covered all aspects of SQL, especially for someone new to it! One thing which was particularly valuable was the step-by-step instructions included within."
Jasdeep Sandhu
CFC Underwriting
"A really engaging trainer who made the course enjoyable. The content was clear to follow, and we were provided with ample resources to aid us with our training and to take away to use in our own time. This course was recommended and used by my company in the past."
Madeleine Lewis
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"All good from my point of view, very happy with the training provided again. Have used Wise Owl for a number of courses now, always engaging trainers with good content so was happy to use again."
John Ensor
Montanaro Asset Management Ltd
"Trainer was really good and had expansive knowledge of Power BI. The course went really well and was not made overly complicated, so was easy to understand."
Lee Smith
The Phoenix Group
"Really enjoyed the course, which covered a lot of ground and the trainer certainly knew his stuff. Many thanks."
Kevin McWhirter
The Phoenix Group
"A great instructor and the course content was perfect for the skills I was wanting to learn. Wise Owl came recommended by a few people, so definitely has a great reputation for quality courses and instructors."
Alexandra Thacker
FIS Global (WorldPay)
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course. A great teacher who didn't overcomplicate anything which I was a bit surprised by, as when you think of anything related to coding you'd assume it requires a lot of brain power which can be a bit overwhelming, but that wasn't the case at all. Would love to come back for another course. Thanks!"
Syed Hasnain
Sucden Financial Limited
"As a graduate, I found this course very useful. I thought the trainer was great, always willing to slow down or repeat something when I didn't fully understand. Thank you."
