Commercial and Corporate Dataverse Courses for the Public and Private Sectors

How Many People Should Attend Our Private Dataverse Courses?

Whilst the number of people who attend our private Microsoft Dataverse courses is essentially up to you and depends on the number of learners you have, we encourage you to keep class sizes small where possible and recommend a maximum of eight learners for technical courses such as Dataverse.

This provides a more personable and effective learning experience and allows the trainer to give individual attention to every student.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Dataverse Courses?

The teaching methodology for our Dataverse courses is Instructor-led training (ILT), which means that our courses are engaging, immersive, hands-on and interactive. With this participatory learning method your staff will retain information better, whether they're studying Microsoft Dataverse subjects in-person or via live virtual classroom.

And, whilst we're happy to provide lectures, show-and-tells and drop-in surgeries, the ILT approach is by far the best way to bring your data management know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

How Long are our Dataverse Courses?

Usual teaching hours for our Dataverse courses are 9.30AM to 4.30PM with a lunch hour and short breaks morning and afternoon. This timetable is fairly standard across the industry and gives six hours of hands-on Dataverse learning, which is an optimal day's training for comfortably absorbing and retaining information and completing practice exercises.

If you want a different start time for your course please let us know.

Courses are run week days, during normal business hours.
