Cath was a patient and comprehensive trainer with great communication skills. I really enjoyed this course and I'm confident I'll be able to execute the skills I learnt.
(5.00 out of 5) Natasha J [ 14 October, 2021 ]
This course was well paced and easy to follow. Having never used PowerBI before, I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up. The foundations were taught really well which allowed me to build the knowledge through the day. I feel like I am leaving with a good knowledge I can take back to use in the workplace.

Interesting course, a lot to go and practice so grateful for the handout.
Very knowledgeable instructor

As a beginner this course had valuable content and was well explained. Dashborads was probably a little rushed.
