"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
"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

"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
"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

"Great course content, booklet is really helpful and nicely printed. Trainer was really helpful and engaging. Thanks again."
Vickesh Patel

"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
"This was probably one of the most engaging and satisfying courses that I have been on. I was originally a bit nervous that I might not be able to keep up with the level of expected prerequisites. However, the course was pitched at the correct level for me, I gained a lot from it and we had an excellent trainer. I would be happy, if I had the opportunity, to attend another course by Wise Owl e.g. a Python or Power BI course."
PJ Bansel

"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
"I enjoyed the interactive nature of the course, as personally, I find I learn best by actually carrying out the exercises, rather than just being shown. I also liked the repetition of the tasks, as this helped me learn the principles."
Tom Tuck
Macfarlanes LLP
"Fantastic course with a fantastic trainer, who really went the extra mile and did an amazing job explaining coding concepts."
Nathaniel Sillett

"Course was great and very engaging. Thought the trainer pitched it perfectly and made it a very enjoyable two days. Would highly recommended to others."
Patrick Camm

"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
"I really enjoyed the course. Thank you for all the additional information and the videos you have available. I almost chose the beginner course but after a great chat with one of your trainers, I think I correctly chose the advanced course. I've also had great feedback from other employees at my company who have also taken a course with Wise Owl. Great staff at every point through the journey."
Kyle Anabossi
Hoist Finance
"I found the whole experience with Wise Owl to be excellent, from the booking, through the pre-course technical testing and manuals, to the course itself. It was a pleasure to work with you. I like the fact that our trainer was able to watch over us in our individual environments and gently guide us through when we got stuck (without calling out to the other attendees). When we raised queries that couldn't be answered there and then, he took them away and came back with answers later. Originally chose Wise Owl because we'd been let down by another provider. I hadn't heard of Wise Owl before then but your website gave me a good introduction. I found the way you interacted with me during the booking and prep phases to be very professional. The course itself was excellent and the training manual and exercises will be useful to refer to in future. The style of the training was really good too - only a small number of attendees meant that no one got left behind and we were encouraged to ask questions. I will recommend Wise Owl to others. Thanks"
Simon Head
The Phoenix Group
"Really enjoyed the course, it had so so many examples that are going to be really easy to refer back to. I enjoyed breaking things down to the understanding of why something works, thanks!"
Holly Fry
The Phoenix Group
"Great course! Our trainer was excellent in his delivery. Content was great and he was happy to answer off course points."
Scott Sharp
The Phoenix Group
"The trainer was highly engaging, very knowledgeable and the concepts were communicated concisely and clearly."
Hugo Dunkason
Clearwater International
"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
"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
"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
