Benefits of our Power BI 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
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 Power BI training

Here are some comments we've received about our Power BI + training. You can see all of our 386 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.

"The course was delivered to an excellent standard at a very good pace. The trainer was very helpful and knowledgeable and assisted us very well with some of the examples we had for dashboards."

Scott Lea

City of Lincoln Council

"The trainer, is very good. He has excellent knowledge but his delivery style engaged from the start and, his approach of bite-sized pockets of demo, practice and Q&A meant a lot of skills and knowledge were covered throughout the day and it didn't feel like too much. Even his 'dad-jokes' contributed to the learning as it allowed focus at the key points :). Highly recommend."

Lesley Beckwith

Barnsley MBC

"I found the trainer really dynamic, patient and chatty, and he explained all the content very well and made it interesting to work through by providing a database on films that was invigorating to work through."

George Wherry

Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG)

"An excellent trainer as usual, who explains everything in detail and covers a lot of ground in a relatively short time period. Have attended previous courses through work."

Dave Jones

Derby and Burton Hospitals NHS FT

"Our trainer was really engaging and clear in the delivery of the content. Manual is also clear for checking back on things. Colleagues have attended courses with you before and gave good feedback."

Lee Berry

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)

"The course was very enjoyable - huge amount of information but delivered in an easily accessible way."
