This page shows our full-day Power BI training courses. We also run half-day bite-sized Power BI courses.
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.
How can any training company guarantee the quality of their courses? Here's how:
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:
Our values are simple - we treat people as we would like to be treated ourselves. So:

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

Can't see the dates/course type that you want? Create your own onsite course (and tailor the content too!).
Show these times in your country and time zone.
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.
Here are some comments we've received about our Power BI + training. You can see all of our 399 reviews here. We would like to sincerely thank the clients whose names are shown below for kindly agreeing to let us share their feedback.
"Our trainer was so easy to follow, clear with his instructions and very patient. I liked the way the course was segmented, with short breaks. A great experience, thanks!"
Kate Joynson
East Cheshire NHS Trust
"Excellent course and really enjoyed it. Our trainer was brilliant and made the course fun. Thank you again."
Matthew Harris
Mitsubishi Electric UK
"Our trainer was an absolute gentleman, kept the course entertaining but clearly knew his stuff and was very keen to answer any questions. I don't live in England or Scotland but if I ran into him I would be in a good mood. I was signed up for a few courses by a manager, they were brilliant and I genuinely really enjoyed learning the small details of Power BI I wouldn't normally have time to think about."
Fionn Denvir
PwC
"Our trainer was great and kept the energy and engagement throughout. "
Jamie Roberts
The Arch Company
"Our trainer was clearly knowledgeable about the subject matter and kept the course flowing well. There were lots of opportunities to ask questions too, which helped to put the course into context for our business area. I have attended previous training courses with Wise Owl."
Claire Payton
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"A great trainer, very enthusiastic and very clear in his instructions and led at a good pace. Course content was great for a newbie to Power BI like myself. "

The main Microsoft Power BI tools are as follows:
Application | Notes |
|---|---|
Power BI Desktop | You can use Power BI Desktop to create visual, interactive reports which you can then publish to your organisation's website (or to a public site). You can also use Power BI to create printable paginated reports. |
Power Query | This is included within Power BI, and allows you to transform data as you're loading it. |
Power BI Service | This allows you to view reports that you've published online, to create shared workspaces and apps and to pin tiles to dashboards. |
Power BI Mobile | Use this part of Power BI Desktop to create reports to be viewed on mobile devices. |
We run the following introductory courses in the Microsoft Power BI tools:
Course | What you'll learn |
|---|---|
How to create visually interactive reports, including importing data, transforming it using Query Editor, creating visuals such as tables, matrices and charts, filtering data (for example, using slicers) and creating calculated columns and basic maps. |

In addition, we have the following more advanced courses listed on our site:
