Power BI Beginners training

Power BI Essentials Course Overview

Our one-day Power BI Essentials course introduces students to the fundamentals of working with Power BI in order to connect to data sources, manipulate datasets and create and share basic dashboards and reports.

The Microsoft Power BI Beginners training course is a one-day, instructor-led event which will be conducted either on-site at your premises anywhere within mainland UK or as a live virtual classroom event via MS Teams. Courseware will be provided electronically.

This Power BI course also forms part of the Microsoft 365 Masterclass course.




Power BI Beginners Training Course Prerequisites

No previous knowledge of Power BI is needed to attend this entry-level course although a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel (or similar) and basic comprehension of databases and data sources is useful.

Learners should have the Online Service version of Power BI.


On-site Power BI Beginners Training UK

These are corporate in-house training courses conducted at your workplace for small groups. You should aim to book at least a month in advance and the maximum group size is eight per course.

Our 'face-to-face' closed courses for Power BI are delivered as private events and afford more flexibility than off-the-shelf courses with opportunities to tailor content to fit your particular learning needs. Your trainer will discuss your requirements with you prior to the course date.

We can attend anywhere in mainland UK (for overseas requirements, please enquire).

With our on-site Microsoft Power BI courses our trainers come to your workplace throughout mainland UK, bringing the training to you whether you're in a major city such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, or anywhere else.

This offers a cost-effective way to train Power BI for small groups and entire departments in the comfort of familiar surroundings from the Capital City of London to The Cotswolds, from Hampshire to Northamptonshire, West Midlands to West Yorkshire, Sussex to South Yorkshire, Norfolk to Northumberland, Lancashire to Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire to Gloucestershire, Bristol to Berkshire, Essex to the East Riding and everywhere inbetween.


Live Virtual Classroom Power BI Beginners Courses - UK & Beyond

If you'd rather that your team learns remotely, these small-group Power BI courses are also available as live virtual, interactive sessions from the comfort of your office or workplace. These courses are taught via Microsoft Teams.

Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that virtual classroom delivery has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

The maximum group size is eight per course and you benefit from full and immersive interaction with your trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via advanced live video conferencing that is enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

What is the Teaching Method for Our Power BI Courses?

The teaching methodology for our Power BI 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 Power BI 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 Power BI know-how to life in a small-class-size setting.

How Long are our Power BI Courses?

Usual teaching hours for our Power BI 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 Power BI 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.
