"Really enjoyed the course content and 1-1 interaction with trainer met my additional learning needs. The Trainer was patient and enabled me to practice on exercises that l could use in my work. "
Joanne Brown-Barnes
Network Plus
"Really good session! Learnt a lot and our trainer was really helpful and really clear on explanations."
Ushni Devraj
PEI Group
"A great trainer and very knowledgeable! The confidence in his training was amazing and I knew that my understanding of SQL will be much better under his guidance. I liked how he was able to support anyone that was finding it hard or challenging, he didn't let anyone feel alone."
Raj Bains
PEI Group
"Great teacher, who explained things thoroughly, thank you."
Hakon Hardrade
Operational Solutions Ltd
"I was very pleased with the course and pace of it, the small group I think helped as whilst we had differing levels of experience we were similarly matched. The trainer was friendly and helpful throughout. The resources sent out prior to the training session were also beneficial and the trainer referred back to it at relevant points, so we knew where to look when not on the course. I had already used the software previously but found I still learnt a lot from this course. I had some knowledge of the content but it had been self taught for the majority and as such I wanted to learn what the software could do, to support the work that I was already doing."
Adrian Hall
Changing Lives
"An excellent tutor, who gave a vivid understanding of how report builder works. He would make sure each and every one of us understood the topic before moving onto the next one. He structured his sessions in a way that it wasn't stressful, which made sure I had enough time to grasp what was being taught."
Joseph Philip
Torus62 Ltd
"Very enjoyable course, communication and procedure from start to finish was great as well. I had everything I needed well in advance, which is a huge plus; this meant no faffing around on the day-of and we were straight in there."
Bradley Swift
Torus62 Ltd
"I absolutely loved the course and attending it has given me a lot of food for thought in how I can implement the use within my team. The trainer was superb and communicated clearly the 'how' and 'why' you'd do things in a certain way, looking out for common errors along the way. I needed to know about how to import data into SQL, which wasn't part of the course content, but the trainer was very accommodating by staying behind with me for 10 minutes to show me how I'd do this, which was very much appreciated. I am inexperienced when it comes to using databases and writing script/code, however I had heard about the benefits of using SQL as a tool and wanted to upskill. Thank you for the course - I hope to come on another sometime soon!"
Katherine Wellock

"Definitely the best online training experience I've ever had."
Kath Charters
Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust
"Our trainer explained things so clearly and was so patient when I got a bit behind. An excellent trainer."
Allison Orchard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Great course and a great trainer, only wish there'd been an extra day."
Neil Rutherford
Halton Borough Council
"Thoroughly enjoyed the course, the trainer was very knowledgeable. He broke the course down well and answered all the questions I had. Best training experience I've had, thank you. Required SSRS training and your company was highly rated on Google and on top searches."
Tom Evans
The Placement Group (TPG)
"The trainer was great. He explained the basics really clearly and was super helpful if we ever got stuck on something, and went at a good pace so that we could keep up without getting bored. The examples were both fun and relevant to the kinds of things we might want to do at work (like feeding information through from a pop-up box, error checking etc.). The course manual is also really impressive. I would definitely recommend this course."
Jenny Roberts
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
"Course content was great, clear and easy to follow. A great instructor who kept the course engaging and moved at a good pace, with some good jokes cracked too."
Aurelia Heyworth
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This course was exactly what I needed to get up to speed on PowerBI, and I now feel confident in working with it in my role. The offer of continued help from the trainer if we were to e-mail was greatly appreciated too. I had never used PowerBI before and needed something that took me from newbie to reasonable user in a short timeframe, and this ticked all the boxes."
Scot Hickinbottom
Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
"Our trainer was great, super engaging, clear and provided a thorough run through of everything."
Charlotte Dennison
Macquarie Energy Leasing
"Brilliant as usual, we have been using Wise Owl for years. Love the availability of ongoing support after the course if needed."
Nicole Tavlas
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)
"Our trainer was very friendly, approachable and had a very good knowledge of the subject. The pace of the course was spot on, and I also liked the fact it was a small group - only 4 of us. The remote desktop where the trainer could see our screens, and offer advice whilst we were typing away was excellent - a lot better than having to share screens individually whenever we got stuck... and a lot less time consuming! Overall, really enjoyed the course and would have no hesitation in choosing you again in the future."
Mark Lloyd
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS FT
"It was great that, as an experienced group we were able to get through the content quickly. The trainer saw that as an opportunity to teach us more than was on the original syllabus, so added value for us, the customer. Thanks."
Paul Griffiths
IQUW (was Agora)
"The trainer taught this VBA course with enthusiasm and explained everything in detail and constantly offered help when needed. I feel confident in VBA after this training course."
