Benefits of our Business Intelligence training

Not sure if we deserve all the reviews you can see on this site? Here are some of the things we do (very) differently to earn them.

Hidden

Friendly and professional training ... guaranteeed▼

How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:

We limit our courses to no more than 6 people per class.
Unlike almost every other computer training company, we never subcontract or use freelancers - here's why this matters.

The best courseware in the industry? See for yourself▼

Our course manuals and exercises are by some way the best in the computer training industry. Fortunately you don't have to take our word for this - you can see for yourself:

Genuine integrity - and good manners▼

Our values are simple - we treat people as we would like to be treated ourselves. So:

We will - almost never - cancel courses. To see what "almost never" means see our no cancel guarantee.
There's nothing worse than being pestered, so we don't pester people. Ever.
It's dangerous to be sanctimionius, but we can see no possible benefit that tobacco and gambling companies bring to the world (and quite a lot of harm), so we choose not to work for them. Sorry.

You can see more on our corporate values here.

Innovative online training platform▼

We've put a lot of thought into making our online courses as useful and interactive as possbile:

Delegates use Remote Desktop to connect to our machines, so our trainers can see everyone's screens at all time.
We arrange (without charge) a half-hour pre-course check for each online delegate before courses, to ensure that they everyone will be able to join the course seamlessly when it begins.
As well as providing a PDF of the manual and exercises for each online course delegate we will (again without charge) also post this out to each person a few days before if required.

If you can't see the course you want listed above, don't despair! If you can muster 3 or 4 people together, it may well be worth organising an onsite course at your office (we'll provide and set up the computers), or else an online course tailored to your needs.

What other people have said about our Business Intelligence training

Here are some comments we've received about our Business Intelligence + training. You can see all of our 403 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.

"I was impressed by our trainer's thoroughness - any questions that he could not answer on the spot, he took away and answered the next day, having found workarounds to even the most obscure of questions we had for him! His pace of teaching and clarity was perfect, taking the stress out of learning new things."

Lisa Anastassiu

The Phoenix Group

"Great course, very informative. The trainer was great and delivered the content very well."

Denise Hearns

Flowtech

"The course set up worked extremely well and the trainer was excellent - completely demystified DAX for me. I wanted a course with an actual human trainer so I would get accurate feedback about any incorrect steps."

Catherine Russell

Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency

"Superb course. Ideal pace and content. Exactly what we needed. Great delivery from our trainer, really clear and interesting. Thank you."

Rob Evans

"Course was well structured and was a pleasure to go through. A great teacher who lead us through all tasks and answered any questions we had."

Daniel Ludlow

"Loved the course. The trainer was extremely thorough, clear, helpful and engaging. We were all delighted with his teaching."

About our Business Intelligence training

We reckon that you work in Business Intelligence or BI if your job involves interpreting large amounts of data to make business decisions. Below is a summary of the BI courses that we offer.

You can also create business intelligence tools using Excel, of course, or even by programming in SQL, C# or VBA. Business intelligence is at the heart of virtually every training course that we run!

SQL Server BI Tools

The Microsoft BI stack includes the following software applications for SQL Server:

Software	Notes
Integration Services	This allows you to extract data from a number of different formats, transform it and then load it into its final resting place (such as a data warehouse).
Analysis Services	This comes in two flavours: multi-dimensional model SSAS used to allow you to build cubes, but for many years now tabular model SSAS has been the more modern variant.
Reporting Services	This allows you to create reports and publish them to your corporate Intranet or to the wider Internet (we also train on the similar Report Builder reporting tool - you can see the differences here).

Other BI Tools

You can also create BI applications using Power BI:

Software	Notes
Power BI	The standalone Power BI package allows you to create beautiful dashboards by importing data from a variety of data sources and then visualising it on screen.

We also train in DAX, the formula language used by PowerPivot and Power BI (and by Analysis Services Tabular Model too, as it happens).

Whichever Business Intelligence course you choose to attend, we'll try to make it as interesting as possible. In particular, you'll work with datasets which are as simple as they can be, while still allowing us to demonstrate the topics needing covering:

Courses	Data used
SSRS, Report Builder	Our database of 1,200 movies
Power BI, SSAS	Our Create-a-Creature database
Integration Services	A variety of different data sources

Whichever course you attend, we'll try to show you how you can analyse data (big or small) and present it in a meaningful and interesting way!

Do you have any Business Intelligence videos?▼

We've got the following videos on our site to help you to learn Business Intelligence:

Category	Description	Videos
Power BI	Video tutorials showing how to create reports in Microsoft's BI application, Power BI Desktop.	11
Reporting Services - Introduction	If you want to learn Reporting Services, you could do worse than to watch this series of videos (although there's no substitute for the real thing). These videos use SSRS 2012, but you'll be able to use them for any version of SSRS from 2008 R2 through to 2017 (nothing much has changed with regard to the SSRS report designer).	21
Reporting Services - Advanced	This series of videos teaches some more advanced SSRS concepts, like custom assemblies and the use of variables (it's roughly based on our Advanced SSRS course). Like the introduction to SSRS videos, these use 2012, but will be useful for you whichever version of SSRS you're using (from 2008 R2 all the way through to 2017).	6
SSRS 2016	This set of videos show how the basics of how to install and work with Reporting Services 2016.	5
Integration Services	A series of videos showing how to use SQL Server Integration Services to extract, transform and load data, manipulate files, and much more besides.	20
