"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."
Daljit Patel
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer is great at teaching this course. Very powerful."
Mitch Chambers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Trainer was excellent at explaining and teaching, friendly and helpful. Also good flow of material and progression of topics. I also think it was a good idea to check technical set-up before the course."
Michaela Hoffmannova
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
"Amazing courses! Great trainer, pace and content. I literally couldn't have asked for better introductions to SQL and Power BI. Plus I have some many great resources to refer back to in the future :) Thank you!"
Simone Capp
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Excellent as always :)"
Jon Nagl
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Great course - exactly the right level for me. Fantastic trainer."
Sally Frost
Department for Education
"A great teacher who made all the content simple and easy to follow. There was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, the venue was really nice and the restaurant lunches were an added bonus! I learnt a lot and actually really enjoyed it at the same time. Would definitely recommend to others. The training came recommended by some colleagues who had been on it previously."
Lucy Moor
Department for Education
"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)
"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"The course was really good. Well-timed and organised and wasn't too slow or fast for a new user to pick up on. I'd done a bit of self-training online but wanted a course where I could interact with and pose questions to a trainer and have a bit more insight into a SQL database."
Andrew Griffiths
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"This was more of a refresher course for me after not having used Excel in a decade and yet I honestly learned a lot. Great course and delivery as always :)"
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Trainer was brilliant! Explained concepts so clearly and the size of the training group was great."
Sophie Alderson
Department for Education
"An excellent presenter and trainer. Well organised course with adequate time to ask questions as well as take breaks from work."
Benjamin Rees
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Fantastic course and our trainer was amazing! The way the course ran with the use of remote desktop and the trainer being able to ensure you were following the right steps worked really well and ensured no one was left behind. I learnt so much from the course that I can't wait to apply into my day to day role!"
Laura Murphy
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"Good balance of fun and keeping to the course topics. Great instructor - not boring at all! Everything ran so smoothly, and I felt comfortable asking questions. Genuinely had fun."
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"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. Despite having a fair bit of practice in SQL I learnt a lot about how the language actually works, as well as very useful shortcuts and new syntax. A great teacher, very knowledgeable of the subject and seems to genuinely enjoy delivering the session - possibly the best work training I've attended! "
Jamie Yeo
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Really enjoyed the course, trainer was very helpful and approachable - I learned lots of shortcuts/refreshed my memory - really enjoyable (not often you say that about excel!!!)"
