Business Intelligence training - Advanced SSRS

SSRS Training

Advanced SSRS Training Course

£750 + VAT for most venues (£895 + VAT for London)

2 days

If you can already create reports using either Report Builder or Reporting Services, we'd like to show you what else SSRS can do! This two-day advanced course will show you how to create and use variables; why and how you should base your reports on views and stored procedures; and how to use bookmarks, document maps and dynamic reports. If you're getting a group of people up to speed on SSRS from scratch, combining this and our two-day Introduction to SSRS course together makes for a nice three-day onsite course.

Sample customer feedback

"The course is brilliant. I now feel, after a long time tinkering with SSRS by myself that I am now on the right track, simply because of this course. The trainer is great at explaining the complexity of it in simple terms. I would happily recommend this course! The online courseware is excellent and really helped me understand my requirements to get the most out of this course."

Adil Zeshan (James Brindley School)

"The trainer was very competent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well done!"

Sandro Fasolo (Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust)

"Nicely paced with great instructor. Also, worth mentioning that the tutor went the extra mile to help me with material at the end of each day. I had seen many of his videos online which I found immensely helpful and was really pleased to find he was just as great a teacher face-to-face."

Quentin Harris (NEL CSU (NHS))

"l thought the course was fantastic and really helpful and the training materials were of a really high standard. It is not often when going on a training course that you can work through the training and manual afterwards which is a credit to Wise Owl Training. I also wanted to thank your excellent trainer; his style of teaching was very good. He has a lot of patience with less experienced people like myself and was always willing to help us when we got stuck. I would definitely like to attend some other courses."

John Groves (Kinase Consulting Limited)

"Excellent course, excellent trainer and excellent course manual."

Ilkka Laurmaa (Delta Motor Group)

There are lots more where these came from (or just refresh this page to change the quotes shown).

The ideal preparation for this course is to attend our two-day Reporting Services course. We will accept other delegates, but you must have a good understanding of how to create reports in SSRS. Delegates must also know some SQL. This course is taught using SQL Server 2016, although the version isn't particularly important.
