"(Intro Power BI) Excellent pace for 2 days. Plenty of interaction and humour. Great lunch breaks. (DAX) Excellent course. Very well delivered on a "tricky" topic which could have sent me slightly mad. Great pace of delivery. This is the first time I felt I could do the same course again! (Advanced Power BI) Excellent delivery of a new course. Quick measures were very useful after the DAX course (a good compliment.)"
