Our Introduction Power BI courses are delivered in our central CBD offices by experienced and engaging trainers. Power BI empowers users to view data clearly and make informed decisions across their business. Our Power BI Courses allow you to learn how to connect your data, transform and cleanse data automatically, build powerful interactive visuals that provide actionable insights, and embed these online. Our experienced trainers also provide Power BI training in the workplace in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne.
Prerequisites
Participants will need to be familiar with Excel to an intermediate level including a basic understanding of charts and pivot tables. No previous experience with Power BI is required, however, it is recommended you try it out before you attend.
In-Person Training
Participants are not required to bring their own laptops as our dedicated computer training labs are equipped with the programs and files you will need access to on your training day.
Online Training
Please ensure you have downloaded the latest version of the software Power BI Desktop for use within the session. We also require a working computer with a microphone and speaker installed, and an up-to-date web browser for this training. For the best experience, we recommend downloading the latest Google Chrome browser.
It is also recommended that you have a second screen attached to your computer. This will allow you to watch the online training session and complete the course activities at the same time.
