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.

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:

"Great course, provided by a great trainer, who was really knowledgeable and was also happy to answer the many questions that I had."
Charlie Bruce
LGT Wealth Management UK LLP
"I thought the online format worked really well. The course was well-paced and covered all the topics I needed to enable me to fill in the gaps in my Power BI knowledge (having used it a little to date). I feel entirely confident to re-create reports that I have already been working with and also to create new ones with improved design and complexity."
Matthew Tierney
United Endeavour Trust
"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
"Good balance of fun and keeping to the course topics. Great instructor - not boring at all! Everything ran so smoothly, and I felt comfortable asking questions. Genuinely had fun."
Izzy Dhamdusdi
Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA)
"An excellent trainer who explained everything in detail and had plenty of patience! The course material was very good, the booklet will come in handy now I'm back in the office and getting used to using Power BI."
Lynne Smith
Manchester Metropolitan University
"I really enjoyed the course. The pace was great, moving at a consistent speed whilst making sure everyone was keeping up and understanding everything. I was also glad we jumped straight in at the start of each session and didn't spend forever doing pointless 'ice breakers' at the start (this was once 50 mins on another course I did!!). The breaks were perfectly timed and very much appreciated to keep my concentration levels up and give us a chance to digest each section. Our trainer was friendly and made me feel comfortable to ask questions and didn't make anyone feel silly for doing anything wrong. The content was great and covered a good range of things that I will be using. I liked the set up with the trainer being able to see our screens as well as us being able to see his. It all worked very smoothly! I had no knowledge of Power BI so needed an introductory course. I would very much be interested in the advanced course later in the year once I've practiced. Thank you for the great session and helping me resolve my IT/connection issues before the course!"

Our online Introduction to Power BI course gets you up and running with Microsoft's increasingly influential Business Intelligence tool. Over the two days that the course lasts you'll learn how to:
load data from data sources like Excel, CSV files, SQL Server and even websites
create and format visuals (and get them to interact with each other)
create charts, matrices, gauges, KPIs and custom visuals
use Query Editor to transform your data before loading it
create calculated columns in tables
create slicers, filters and drill-downs to choose data to view
get an introduction to creating maps in Power BI
publish your reports to the basic Power BI service
The idea is that you will learn everything that you need to know to create and publish basic reports using Power BI Desktop!
Power BI is a standalone application, so there are no pre-requisites for attending this course.
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:
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.
If you book a place on one of our courses:
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 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.
