The course was excellent. Working through the example definitely helps to cement the information into your mind - you may not remember the exact steps later, but you know that there is a way so can go looking for it.

Adam is an excellent Facilitator , he is super engaging and it is evident he is an expert in Power BI. Adam is very patient and clear when explaining the content and he ensures know one gets lost through out the course. Highly recommend the course and Adam definitely makes the course enjoyable.

Adam was very good again! Brought a really nice amount of energy... not easy, when the session is online and delivered on a Friday afternoon! Thank you! Only constructive feedback would be to create a shorter, more visually appealing and practical handbook to go along with the training, but that's a resource comment, not at all to do with the excellent trainer today (13/02)

Course was very easy to understand and informative. No problems following along. If anything it perhaps went a little slow but can understand that everyone needs a different pace. Really felt like it was beneficial and learnt a lot.
