"I thought the course content was pitched perfectly at our level as we use Power BI every day and had plenty of useful applications for it. Our trainer has always been so resourceful and supportive. Thank you ."
Natalie Yau

"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 really enjoyed the course and found it very helpful with the course handbook making it easy to apply what we have learnt. Our trainer was a lovely person and excellent trainer, very happy with his delivery of the course and his patience with us! Recommendation came from a colleague."
Jen Lloyd
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"This was probably one of the best courses I've been on. I was so impressed with the course content and the delivery. The trainer's ability to deliver quite extensive content while ensuring everyone understood and put it into practice, was awesome. His enthusiasm and attitude generally made this 2 day course an absolute pleasure. The venue was great, really good facilities and in a perfect central location. Going out for lunch was a great touch. Good to get out of the room for an hour and have some nice food! Thanks Wise Owl for a fab training experience!"

"A good introduction to Python. A very patient trainer who did a great job delivering and giving extra help when required. Many thanks."

"A great trainer, who made complex topics seem much more simple."
Sahra Ali

"Course instructor was great - very knowledgeable and engaging."
Stuart Wallace

"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!"

"Great trainer, really knowledgeable helpful and a lovely venue in London. Being able to attend despite being the only one on the course was great too! I think the videos that you provide online are brilliant and help to increase awareness of this training. "
Lauren Szarvas
Bedfordshire Police
"Course content was intense and enjoyable. Lunch venues a great choice and an opportunity to walk outside. So great to be back face to face learning. The trainer has a pleasant and patient manner and adapted his presentation (made larger on screen) to my needs."
Sue Cann
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Great trainer and though I use excel everyday, it is amazing how much you can still learn. Appreciative of the course content and the way it was made enjoyable. More so, I am already employing the techniques I have learnt, to improve upon what I thought I was pretty good at..!!"
Roger Cameron

"All round, really good - having a trainer who not only knows their stuff but is also constantly engaging was really refreshing."
Andrew Booker
MPM Products
"The course was exceptionally well-delivered, and as a group, we thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. Our trainer was very personable and approachable and his deep knowledge of DAX and Power BI made the content much easier to grasp. We particularly appreciated how he tailored the course to our needs, addressed the examples we provided, and kept the session interactive to reinforce the concepts. The pacing was for us as a group was spot-on, allowing ample time for questions and hands-on practice... and a cuppa ;) Overall, we would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to enhance their Power BI and DAX skills. The trainer was brilliant - his expertise, clear communication, and engaging teaching style made all the difference in making our course both informative and enjoyable. We have undertaken previous courses with yourselves which were similarly well-received by colleagues."
Michael Abson
Durham County Council
"Perfect! The pace was fast, content delivered well and I got everything from the course I was hoping for. As we already have software development experience, it meant we could canter through the content and focus on the applicable differences. Well worth having a 'private' course for us three attendees, as this allowed us to prioritise the content in the time available and gave the opportunity to discuss aspects of our current software project in the context of the course with the trainer. We feel we can 'hit the ground running' now."
Stuart Green
ENGIE Services Ltd
"Amazing informative course which has improved my knowledge using SQL and confidence. The trainer was friendly, informative and helped bring using SQL alive, being face to face rather than online. Thank you"
Matt Dowlan
Royal Sun Alliance (RSA Group)
"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
"The course was brilliant and the trainer really took his time to explain this which was SO good because SQL is a difficult application to learn. He done really well. So glad I used Wise Owl, I hope to go on the PowerBI training soon, thanks again!"
Amelia Browne
L&Q Group
"The trainer was very engaging and gave clear explanations."
Daniel Brierley
AA Projects Ltd / Drees & Sommer UK Ltd
"I found the course very usefully, the trainer was engaging, friendly and kept the pace of the teaching going but including everyone through out. A pleasant and informative day."
Susan Buick
STMicroelectronics (R&D) Ltd
"This course was pitched just right for our skill levels. Pacing and content were spot on. Our trainer was approachable and fielded all of our daft questions! The venue was located perfectly for the station. Materials provided in support of the course were really good and I'll keep them as reference. I can't think of anything that I would have liked to see changed. We chose this particular course as we were wanting to do a classroom based one (and Manchester was an ideal location) and we have been with Wise Owl before."
