About half of our courses are created bespoke for a single organisation, and either delivered onsite (usually somewhere in the UK, but we're willing to travel!) or online. For onsite courses we will usually provide and set up the necessary computers free of charge.

There are four main reasons why you might want to book tailored training like this:

  1. If you have 3 or more people, organising custom training will probably be cheaper than booking people individually onto a scheduled course.
  2. You'll be able to choose the content of any training, and be able to pause it for discussions on how you'll use software internally, or ask to take digressions.
  3. You may not be able to travel to our venues, so it might be easier to ask us to travel to you.
  4. You may not be able to make the dates of our published scheduled courses, and want to be able to choose when your training takes place.

If you'd like a quote for how much a tailored course would cost please let us know what you'd like to achieve and we'll get back to you (normally within half a working day).

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 370 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 training session was a bit of an eye opener for me in terms of what can be done behind the scenes in Power BI e.g., with data cleaning and setting up parameters. Even though I am already interested in learning this stuff, I imagine it would be easy to deliver that kind of material in a very monotonous and uninteresting way, but the presentation style was really fun and lively which made it a lot easier I think to absorb the lessons. It’s also great to have paper copies of the manuals! Thanks again and I hope to take you up on your offer of sending queries your way, I am sure I will."

Simon Hayes

Hounslow Council

"Excellent course well pitched and well led, by a trainer who has an excellent approach. He was very patient and personable."

Martin Miller

Manchester Metropolitan University

"As always, Wise Owl delivered a fantastic course. Straightforward to follow and came away feeling like I've learnt a lot. The paper guide is always appreciated too as it's easier to reference."

Gary Brittain

Southend-on-Sea City Council

"I loved the course, it was very engaging and got me so excited about Power BI. I actually love its potential and can see where it can be put into practice within my Service."

Diane Cooper-Ramsden

Barnsley MBC

"I really enjoyed the course and found it very helpful with the course handbook making it easy to apply what we have learnt. Our trainer was a lovely person and excellent trainer, very happy with his delivery of the course and his patience with us! Recommendation came from a colleague."

"Great course, easy to follow and understand."

About this One-day introduction to Power BI Reports course

Click on one of the tabs below to see the given information about this Power BI course.

There's a lot to learn in Power BI (as you'll see from the list of courses on this website) but not everyone need to become a Power BI Desktop guru. This one day course is aimed at those who just need a helping hand towards creating basic reports, without so many of the bells and whistles covered in some of our other Power BI courses.

Pre-requisites

Power BI is a standalone application, so there are no pre-requisites for attending this course.

What you'll need to bring

If you book on a classroom course, the only thing you need to bring to the course is ... yourself! We even provide a notepad and a suprisingly nice pen for you to take notes with.

For online training you'll need two things:

  1. A good internet connection (otherwise you'll have a frustrating time); and
  2. A second screen (a requirement, not a nice-to-have!)

You can see full details of our online course requirements here.

For classroom training, you won't need a computer - we (obviously) will provide that. However, you're welcome to use your own laptop if you prefer, providing that you have the correct software installed.

For online training you will need a computer, but you won't need to have any software installed.  This is because you'll use Windows Remote Desktop to connect to our computers using our whizzy Wordsworth online training system, and these computers will have all of the necessary files and software installed.

When you book a place

If you book a place on one of our courses:

  • For classroom courses we will send out a joining email. That's it!
  • For online courses we will get in touch to organise a half-hour pre-course check to iron out any connection problems before the course (rather than during it). We will also ask you whether you want to receive a printed copy of the course manual (and post this to you if you do).

Whatever type of course you book, we will also send you out a reminder a few days before the course is due to take place - not that (we hope) you'll have forgotten!

After the course

After the course finishes you'll receive a digital certificate proving your attendance (we will gladly send a paper copy on request also).

We don't have any formal arrangement for answering questions after the course, but if you get stuck on something and email your trainer they should (and nearly always do!) respond as quickly as their training schedule allows.
