"The trainer, was brilliant, really informative. Useful learning the processes and she had a great way of conveying the learning. I was a last minute addition to the course. I wasn't aware of Wise Owl but I will be researching and looking out for future courses."

"The trainer was lovely and personable as always, he was really willing to go the extra mile to ensure that the course was tailored to us and our specific experiences and organisations. He was also very patient with any technical issues. The course itself was great. I had no knowledge of Power BI whatsoever, but it's used a lot in my department. Looking forward to convincing the powers that be to let me on a more advanced course!!"

"All good for me. Clearly like any course of this nature, I now need to find time to put the learning into practice."

"It was a great course, very informative, and our trainer was great at being flexible to the group's ability and needs. Would highly recommend."

"Excellent course. Having used excel for many years, there were still some tips and best practice that had passed me by, having now learnt these they will save me time in the future. The tutor was great at explaining the technical terms and made things click (for example the text tip when you type a formula that shows you which part of the formula you are on). Thank you!"

"The whole team at WiseOwl were great! With some technical problems our end, I can only thank them for their perseverance with getting their training course delivered to their standard high quality. Our trainer was super friendly, funny and very, very knowledgeable. Everything you want from someone running a 2 day course. He was engaging throughout, and built a very good relationship with the team very quickly. This meant the training was fun for all and invaluable in terms of the skills and knowledge shared. Having previously attended a course from WiseOwl, I knew that picking another one would be of equal quality. The team were about to get stuck into complex excel modelling, therefore, being able to create a bespoke course for the business modelling, to cover some advanced features was super important."

"Our trainer was extremely knowledgeable about SQL (and movies!) and was always keen and able to answer any of our questions with expert detail. It was a pleasure to interact with him and he was very welcoming. I would gladly take another course with Wise Owl in the future."

"Really great introduction to Power BI. Covered all the basics and I learned something new."
Imogen Soper
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer ensured that we all stayed with him throughout and his pace and willingness to make DAX less like a foreign language made it a very enjoyable course. I cannot wait to put what we learnt into practice. Thank you! We had previously done the Intro to SQL and PBI courses which were also very well received - so it was a no-brainer to come back!"

"The tutor was lovely and very friendly. The course covered all topics but also was an opportunity to ask questions and look at some areas more than others."
Jess Lewis

"Really liked the course - enjoyed how the trainer was willing to address additional questions at the end of the course, about indexing and how this applies to our work."

"Our trainer explained things so clearly and was so patient when I got a bit behind. An excellent trainer."
Allison Orchard

"I've been on two Wise Owl courses so far and both times I started as a complete beginner and left feeling fairly confident to use the software package, I've been trained on. Our trainer was fantastic. I really appreciated his enthusiasm throughout and his patience when helping me resolve mistakes."
Libin Osman
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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

"A really nice trainer who made the course really accommodating. A really worthwhile course."
Holly Keay

"A great trainer and very patient when trying to get us all set up. Think it can be difficult to gauge an audience when you are doing a group session, however our trainer was very engaging, supportive and delivered the course at a good pace."
