Power BI Training FAQs

Do I need any prior experience to take a Power BI course?  

No prior Power BI experience is required for our Fundamentals courses. If you're comfortable with Excel or have worked with data before, you'll feel right at home.

Which Power BI course is right for me?

If you're new to Power BI, we recommend starting with Power BI Fundamentals Part 1. For those with some experience looking to deepen their skills, our DAX or Advanced Visualisations courses may be a better fit. If you're aiming for certification, PL-300 is the one to look at. Feel free to contact us for personalised guidance. 

Can I take the course online?

Yes - all our Power BI courses are available via live, trainer-led virtual classrooms, so you can join from anywhere. We also offer in-person sessions at our Bristol training centre.

Do you offer Power BI training for teams or companies?  

Absolutely. We offer closed company training sessions tailored to your organisation's needs - either online or onsite at your location. Get in touch to find out more.

What version of Power BI do I need?  

We use Power BI Desktop (free version) during training. We'll guide you through installation and setup in our email instructions (please download and test before the course.)

Is Power BI training useful if I already use Excel?

Definitely. Many Excel users find Power BI a natural next step - especially if you work with dashboards, large datasets or reports. Our courses show how to integrate Excel and Power BI for more powerful insights.
