Great course and very clear presentation. Good examples and the ability to come back and resit for support.
(5.00 out of 5) Jessie S [ 01 April, 2021 ]
Really enjoyable and engaging session - Very evident that Adam is extremely knowledgeable.
There could be value in allowing time or offering a separate session for students to use their own data.
(5.00 out of 5) Anna F [ 15 March, 2021 ]
With fairly limited exposure to the use of Power Bi, I have vastly increased my understanding of data sets and how to set these up to properly run reports. I found Adam to be a great facilitator and explained everything really clearly and at a great pace.
