OUR OFFERING
Importance of Microsoft Power BI training
Implementing new business intelligence tools like Power BI can transform the way your organisation works with data. However, without the right training, users may struggle to fully harness its capabilities – limiting the return on your investment.
At Optimum, we specialise in designing and delivering expert-led training courses for Microsoft Power BI. Our structured approach ensures your workforce gains the skills they need to connect data sources, build insightful reports, and create interactive dashboards with confidence.
Power BI enables users to visualise and analyse data with ease, offering advanced features such as custom calculations with DAX, data transformations using Power Query, and seamless integration with cloud-based sources. Our course covers everything from importing and modelling data to publishing and sharing reports – ensuring your team can make informed decisions based on real-time insights.
Whilst the course content is structured to cover essential Power BI functionality, we also incorporate your organisation’s data where appropriate. This allows users to see first-hand how Power BI applies to their specific business environment, making the training even more relevant and impactful.
Our two-day Power BI for Creators training course is available for business to book for up to 8 delegates, helping users understand Power BI’s core functionalities, including visualisation techniques, interactive dashboards, and data relationships.
By leveraging Optimum’s expertise, you ensure user adoption and long-term value from Power BI.
