"An excellent teacher and trainer. The course content was specifically tailored to suit our needs and he did a wonderful job teaching us it and further enlightening us on a number of topics. I can't recommend him highly enough."
Thomas Crozier

Rebecca Kaur

"The course was really engaging and the tutor was knowledgeable and delivered the content at the right pace. The paper workbooks were great as I could make notes for each section. "
Jess Lewis
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"It's great to get some extra information that isn't usually in the course (a walkthrough about measures was particularly helpful!)"
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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!"
Jody Gaisford
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The trainer was excellent; very engaging, knowledgeable and approachable."
Aiden Booth
Department for Education
"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."
Adam Goodall
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Really great course with a fantastic trainer. I already had existing knowledge of SQL as I use it regularly in my day job, the topics covered in this course aligned with areas I had identified as lacking in my knowledge."
Hannah Keogan
Department for Education
"I really enjoyed the course and the way it was set out - one of the most enjoyable and useful training sessions I've done. A lot of content was covered at a good pace with options to ask questions. I really like the way the course is interactive and easy to keep up."
Zahra Bashir
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Lovely and enthusiastic trainer who remained upbeat and engaging throughout."
Louisa Martin
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)

Mitch Chambers

"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."
Kirsty Trent
Department for Education
"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)
"Excellent as always :)"
Jon Nagl
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"An amazing trainer and really helped with engaging with the course. I loved the follow along aspect which made sure that we kept focus - I learned so much."
Nawal Raza-Malik
Department for Education
"Being on a course with staff from my team made sure that the course was tailor made for us, it was great when we could ask questions especially how this training would work for our own excel workbooks. The trainer was very helpful to explain using our work examples. We had heard good things about Wise Owl, and as we had recently completed the intermediate course, it made good sense to continue with the same provider."
Debbie Bernard
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"I found the course very useful and it taught me lots of things I didn't realise Power BI was capable of. I felt like I understood everything that was taught. A great trainer, very friendly and funny and able to answer all of the questions that we threw at him! I had used Power and this course was useful in making me aware of all of the different parts of Power BI, and the options that are available."
