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. Courses marked with an (*) are new courses (for these courses our usual no cancel guarantee doesn't apply).
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 362 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 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)
"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
"Really appreciated the course, our trainer was very helpful. I have already started doing things differently and built a new little ecosystem better than I'd previously done. Already recommended you guys to our team. "
Jessie Stroud
BBI Services Ltd
"Really helpful course, delivered in a way that ensured we were all starting from the same point and that we all left each stage at the same point. Very, very useful course with a great tutor."
Joseph Gaskin
Liverpool Health Partners
"Very informative course and the Trainer was able to adjust the course based on the experience within the learners."
Margaret Herriot
The Phoenix Group
"Our trainer is so engaging and full of enthusiasm and support, never met a trainer like him!"

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 |

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