About this course
Course Highlights
This is a 1-day course - delivered over a number of short modules.
It is often delivered in shorter modules of 90 minutes spread out over time with "homework" between sessions to ensure the learners' experience is positive and they have easier scheduling options.
Some clients like it delivered via 2 sessions in week 1, followed by 2 sessions in week 2. Other clients have opted for 1 session pw over 4 weeks.
This is very much a "learn by doing" course where the learners are encouraged to apply the learning in their own environment as they go along.

The trainer was very helpful and very knowledgeable, but I still struggled to keep up. My main problem is that I wasn't always able to see where he was clicking, so maybe as a suggestion, the trainer should make his cursor more visible, such as making it larger, bright colour and with movement trails
Yes, would appreciate a more in depth course as now using Power BI weekly for several reports. Very informative overview, thank you 🙏
