"Our trainer was great helping lead us through the basics of Power BI and then pushing us further towards more advanced techniques, as we asked how we might use the software for our own problems. Highly recommended by our colleagues and I would have to agree with them."
Freddie Wright
Singleton Birch 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."
Nathan Cain
Home Office
"The course content was great, perfect level for the group and our trainer was brilliant, very patient and kept us engaged throughout the day. We chose this course as we have a lot of data that we could analyse ourselves - we normally have to ask others for help which can take time but hopefully now we will be able to have a go. The content was great for beginners, and maybe in the future we can progress further!"
Laura Potter
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Thoroughly enjoyed this course and the trainer was absolutely fantastic."
Abbie Edwards
Grosvenor Food & AgTech
"Great course, very informative. The trainer was great and delivered the content very well."
Denise Hearns
Flowtech
"Our trainer was really friendly and delivered the course at a good pace. Really easy to follow and gave a good insight as to what can be done in Power BI."
Charlotte Carroll
Merseyside Fire & Rescue Authority
"I was happy with the course. The trainer knows his stuff and answered all our questions easily. He also ensured that he addressed any gaps in our knowledge. The course materials are clear. I will have to go back to go through some exercises but I feel far more confident in being able to understand, create or modify more complex SQL scripts now."
Christine Milling
L&Q Group
"Excellent introduction into PBI, the trainer was great at explaining things and worked through the course at a good pace. Would definitely recommend!"
Thomas Sanderson
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust
"Honestly the best training I've been on in ages. Firstly, the course was delivered and pitched perfectly, walking us through step by step and taking the time to guide and explain when we went wrong or needed some additional advise. Secondly, our trainer is incredibly personable interacting and engaging with each person on the course and finally the course was perfectly structured. We all either had a very basic understanding or no experience with Power BI, but left with a sense of excitement about what we can create with this new knowledge/tool. 110% on point, thank you very much!"
Jared Davies
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"The instructor made complex content accessible and enjoyable to learn. The manual will also provide further learning and support my SQL use at work. I chose the course based on the strength of the Power BI course (I previously attended) and the standard of this course was just as good."
Sophia Sharpley
Sage Publishing
"The course was really enjoyable. Good course and good trainer with extensive knowledge and he was able to answer any additional questions we had."
John Minto
Durham County Council
"Our trainer was great!"
Rory Ferguson
Dale Underwriting Partners
"I found the course very informative, the trainer was helpful and knowledgeable. The course manual is a great resource to enable us to apply the skills learnt after the course. A colleague recommended the course."
Kay Jackman
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"I really enjoyed the training and thought our trainer was fantastic at taking us through the content at the right pace, whilst also dealing with topics that came up ad hoc. This will really help us on our Power BI journey! We've used Wise Owl a few times now and find the course content and trainers to be excellent. Thank you!"
Richard Warren
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"Really enjoyed the course, which covered a lot of ground and the trainer certainly knew his stuff. Many thanks."
Kevin McWhirter
The Phoenix Group
"Really great course, learnt so much in 2 days and our trainer was brilliant in feeding the course information to us all."
Neil Billington
Renault Trucks UK & Ireland
"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
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Apart from really enjoying the course, I did gain a lot of insight into how I currently use Excel and how I should use it. The course exercises are good to practice on."
Mike Walsh
Hyde Central Services Ltd
"The trainer made the session fun and engaging."
Daniel Milne
Durham County Council
"Booking and course information were all communicated well. The venue and pace was good. There was a lot of content to cover (re-caps were most welcomed). The trainer showed patience throughout and was able to answer all questions."
