"Well structured and well delivered course. Venue was great. Enjoyed the course content and the training."
Safina Arshad
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Very interesting course and learned a lot of new skills around DAX. Just need to put them into practice! Our trainer was also amazing - very knowledgeable - there wasn't a question he couldn't answer with multiple different suggestions. "
Susan Spragg
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"I found this course really useful and I like that the trainer is reactive to questions by diverting slightly off course to demonstrate an answer to the question. I also liked the fact that rather than just DAX the course showed how we could use the DAX Measures in the visuals. I am new to DAX and Power BI and wanted to get a better understanding of the basics before looking at what I can improve on going forwards."
Colin Watts
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"This was one of the best courses I have ever attended! The trainer was engaging and really enthusiastic, always happy to answer questions and discuss the content further where needed. Being able to work through the content ourselves as we were being taught really helped to consolidate my knowledge. The venue was great and very accessible and the food was amazing!"
Charlie Staniforth
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Fantastic tailored Power BI training. Our trainer was brilliant, knowledgeable and was very patient with us and so supportive of our different levels of knowledge. This course was tailored for a small group of users with mixed Power BI knowledge and WiseOwl were able to accommodate our needs, with no problem at all. Session was received really well and wouldn't hesitate to recommend."
Karen Allen
Halton Borough Council
"Thought the course was excellent. All the resources were very good e.g. the handout, pen drive with all the examples. Course content was all relevant. Was a very quick pace but I found that good. Our trainer was great too."
Rachel Taylor
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"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
"This has been the best training I have done, an incredible trainer and I was engaged the whole 2 days."
Lewis Johnson
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"Really enjoyed the course and delivery style, which was fun and engaging. Our trainer really made everyone feel comfortable and captivated interest with various examples. It has given me some new useful tools for both in and outside of work."
Simon Hayes
Hounslow 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."
Vicky Kearney
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"The course manual will be useful as a reference to remind us of what we learnt on the course. Previously enjoyed courses delivered by WiseOwl. We trust WiseOwl for useful course material, engaging tutors that make the course interesting and administrating everything so easily."
Tom Morgan
Hounslow Council
"Brilliant as usual, we have been using Wise Owl for years. Love the availability of ongoing support after the course if needed."
Nicole Tavlas

"Quite intensive with lots to learn but really good trainer and really good documentation."
Andy Dobby

"Great trainer. Pace of course was brilliant and learnt a lot. Really useful for expanding my skill set."
Kristin McIntosh
Newark and Sherwood District Council
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course, it was taught very well with useful information on key topics and some excellent exercises to actually put the skills into practice. The trainer was highly knowledgeable and went at a good speed, to ensure everything was clearly explained. Others in my organisation had attended the course and found it useful and taught well. Many thanks."
Clare Taylor
London Borough of Lambeth
"The trainer was amazing, he really knew his stuff, was interesting in the way he presented things (even when the topic could have easily been boring) and went above and beyond."
Joe Sanders-Wilde
Hounslow Council
"After the course I have a much better understanding of Power BI in general and functionality of DAX."
Olga Sergushova
Southend-on-Sea City Council
"A lovely and approachable trainer with extensive knowledge."
Alicja Niedzwiedziuk

"Great course, well informed trainer. Days flew by."
Ryan McNally

"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."
