Microsoft Power BI TrainingMicrosoft Power BI training – customised for your team

Most organisations have data. Very few have a reliable, consistent way to turn that data into insight that people can actually use. Power BI is Microsoft’s answer to that problem, but it requires proper training to use effectively.

CTO’s Power BI training is built around your data sources and your reporting needs. Introduction sessions cover connecting to data, building reports and creating dashboards that update automatically. Advanced sessions go into DAX measures, data modelling, advanced visualisations and building self-service analytics environments for business users.

Who should attend

  • Analysts, finance professionals and operations staff who build reports from data
  • Managers who need consistent, accessible reporting without depending on IT or a single analyst
  • Teams moving from Excel-based reporting to Power BI for better visualisation and automation
  • Power BI users who have learned by doing and want a structured approach to modelling and DAX
