Reporting Services (SSRS) Training Course

£695 + VAT for most venues (£850 + VAT for London)

2 days

If you're wondering whether you should be learning SQL Server Reporting Services, the answer is yes! SSRS (as it's often called) allows you to create impressive reports, including drill-through, indicators, gauges and lots of other whizzy features. You can then publish these reports directly to your company's website in a number of different formats, or push them out to subscribers by email.

This two-day course runs in SSRS 2016, but if you're using SSRS 2012 you'll still be able to attend, as the report design interface has barely changed (even since SSRS 2008 R2).

Sample customer feedback

"This was a great course and pitched perfectly for my needs. I have been on a course where I was the only delegate and it descended into farce - not the case here, the trainer managed this superbly! Faultless."

Neil Meredith (Costcutter Supermarkets Group Ltd)

"Really good all round. Manual seems very thorough and exercises were really helpful. I thought the course was great and it’s been really helpful!"

Felix Michaux (Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons)

"Excellent course. Perfect for my needs, well paced.(Intro to SQL). Another great course. Covered everything I needed and more (SSRS)."

Robert Morgan (Harbottle Lewis LLP)

"Excellent! I would recommend it to anyone. I liked theory mixed with practical exercises."

Pawel Zielinski (Argos Ltd)

"I was very impressed with the course training, the small group size and the material that we covered. I benefitted from the trainer spending extra time going through the report grouping sessions and I will be using these and extra skills in my work. In future I may consider Integration Services and Advanced SQL."

Simon Young (Derbyshire County Council)
