"Really loved the whole experience. I'm a lot more confident and eager to use my skills going forward. The course was a great pace and ensured that you had a great foundation knowledge before moving on to more difficult areas of work. I think we used it because other people in my department have been on it before-I can see why they recommended it!!"
Hannah Bateman

"Trainer was brilliant! Explained concepts so clearly and the size of the training group was great."
Sophie Alderson
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)
"This was a great follow on course to the beginner level. The course was well paced and the trainer fielded questions directly related to our work. Facilities at the venue were excellent as well. The course handbooks with exercises are well produced and will provide a good reference for later use. I'd highly recommend this course/company. Your YouTube channel prompted us to originally choose your course and the fact that there was a regional venue for the class."

"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
Home Office
"Our trainer was excellent! He presented enthusiastically, encouraged engagement and answered questions constructively. He tested positive for Covid half way through the online course but pushed through despite this just as enthusiastically as before, when he could have very reasonably found an alternative teacher to take over."

"A really good instructor, very helpful and willing to go the extra mile."
Mitch Chambers

"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. "

"The trainer was fantastic, really helpful and made the session highly enjoyable."
Mitchell Brain
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"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)
"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)
"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

"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)
"Brilliant from start to end. I am missing it already! Oddly, I think the online format works a bit better than in class, apart from the fact we couldn't all go for a beer at the end of it. I liked how our trainer could monitor all of our work at once and offer guidance without needing to name anyone. The whole thing was thoroughly enjoyable and ran smoothly and I would recommend you as a company with pleasure."
Marketa Koskova
Legal Aid Agency
"The trainer was excellent; very engaging, knowledgeable and approachable."
Aiden Booth
Department for Education
"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)
"I had a great time, thank you so much for a fab course!"
Holly Tyers
Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)
"Our trainer made the sessions really enjoyable. Loads of interaction and engagement. He clearly explained everything and I was able to understand. Couldn't ask for a better trainer."
Taiba Chaudhry

"Really great delivery and learned so much! Great training thank you - felt able to ask questions."
Siobhan Humphreys
