Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does BI training entail?

A BI training course gives your team the knowledge to not only collect data, but also to structure, analyze, and translate it into clear dashboards. It goes beyond theory: participants work hands-on with real-world cases and learn how to make insights available more quickly. This turns data into a practical tool for your organization’s day-to-day operations.

A powerful BI tool is useless if people can’t put it to use. Training helps employees interpret data correctly, build their own reports, and keep dashboards up to date. It enhances data literacy throughout your organization and ensures that BI is widely adopted rather than relying on just a few experts.

Yes. For Microsoft Power BI, there are two standard tracks: Power BI Basics and Power BI: Advanced. The basic training course lays the foundation with data modeling, visualizations, and simple calculations. In the advanced training course, you’ll learn to work with more complex models, DAX functions, and the management of larger datasets. Both courses are hands-on and immediately applicable.

Absolutely. In addition to standard training courses, we offer customized training programs tailored to your team’s needs and knowledge level. This can range from a role-based approach (e.g., Finance, Sales, or Operations) to coaching based on your own datasets. This way, employees not only learn the theory but also immediately see how BI makes a difference in their specific context.

The focus is often on Microsoft Power BI, as it is the most widely used BI tool. However, broader topics are also covered, such as data modeling, governance, security, and integration with the Power Platform. Depending on your needs, a training course can also be structured more broadly to cover all relevant BI aspects.
