"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."

"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was great, moving at a consistent speed whilst making sure everyone was keeping up and understanding everything. I was also glad we jumped straight in at the start of each session and didn't spend forever doing pointless 'ice breakers' at the start (this was once 50 mins on another course I did!!). The breaks were perfectly timed and very much appreciated to keep my concentration levels up and give us a chance to digest each section. Our trainer was friendly and made me feel comfortable to ask questions and didn't make anyone feel silly for doing anything wrong. The content was great and covered a good range of things that I will be using. I liked the set up with the trainer being able to see our screens as well as us being able to see his. It all worked very smoothly! I had no knowledge of Power BI so needed an introductory course. I would very much be interested in the advanced course later in the year once I've practiced. Thank you for the great session and helping me resolve my IT/connection issues before the course!"

"I found this course extremely useful and easy to follow - our trainer was stupendous at taking his time to explain the content and monitoring our practice/responding to any questions. My colleagues recommended Wise Owl and now that I’ve taken the course, I highly recommend it to others."

"The course content and the exercises were really helpful. The trainer went through it at a very good pace and explained things very clearly. Course content was clear and well-priced for a 2-day course."

"The course was brilliant and the trainer really took his time to explain this which was SO good because SQL is a difficult application to learn. He done really well. So glad I used Wise Owl, I hope to go on the PowerBI training soon, thanks again!"

"Really great course. I liked the pace the course ran at - fast enough to keep me interested but slow enough that I could keep up. Very approachable trainer & I learnt much more than I expected to."

"The course itself was great, and the content was very useful. The trainer was very nice and friendly. I've learned a lot and would definitely recommend it to a friend."

"A great trainer, who explained everything very clearly. He made sure all topics were covered and understood by everyone. Really enjoyed this course and will definitely be looking into attending more Wise Owl courses."
Cassandra Wan
St Mungos
"I was the only one on this course and this meant I was able to ask as many questions as I needed, cover the topics I felt were most useful, and complete as many practice exercises as I wanted. The trainer, could not have been better - he explained everything really well, and was more than happy to answer all my questions, even if he'd already gone over it. The online nature of the course worked really well and the day was a good length. The manual is super detailed and helpful, and it's good to have the course exercises book too so I can practice on my own after the course. The fact the class was capped at 6 was a real draw, especially as it was a virtual course. The course overview was also comprehensive and it seemed aimed at complete beginners, which was what we needed."

"Great course, I really appreciated our trainer's flexible approach and patient teaching."
Tracey Mortimer-Brown

"The trainer was great, answered a number of specific questions and expanded to explain why things worked the way they do, which really helped with my own understanding. The training was well paced with plenty of opportunities to have a go and ask questions."
