Course Description
Formerly DA-100 | Comprehensive, Slower-Paced Power BI Training
Comprehensive, Slower-Paced Power BI Training with Additional Hands-On Practice
Develop practical Microsoft Power BI skills with ExistBI’s comprehensive four-day, live instructor-led Power BI Data Analyst training course.
Designed as a slower-paced alternative to Microsoft’s intensive three-day PL-300 training programme, this extended course provides additional time to understand essential Power BI concepts, complete hands-on exercises and build confidence using Power BI in real-world business environments.
The standard PL-300 course covers a substantial amount of material in just three days. For participants who are new to Power BI, data modelling or DAX calculations, this intensive format can make it challenging to absorb and practise every concept.
ExistBI’s four-day Power BI training addresses this challenge by spreading the learning across an additional day, allowing more time for instructor demonstrations, practical exercises, questions and knowledge reinforcement.
What Makes Our Four-Day Power BI Training Different?
Unlike the standard three-day PL-300 course, our extended programme prioritises understanding, practical application and knowledge retention.
Participants benefit from:
- A more manageable learning pace: Additional time to understand Power BI concepts without rushing through complex topics.
- More hands-on practice: Greater opportunity to complete practical exercises and reinforce newly acquired skills.
- Additional time for DAX: More time to understand calculations, measures, filter context and time intelligence.
- Guided data modelling: Practical instruction covering relationships, semantic models and performance optimisation.
- Interactive learning: More opportunities to ask questions, troubleshoot problems and receive instructor guidance.
- Real-world applications: Practical experience preparing data, creating reports and developing analytical solutions.
Who Should Attend?
This four-day programme is particularly suitable for business analysts, data analysts, finance professionals, reporting specialists and business users who want to develop practical Power BI skills.
It is also an excellent option for professionals transitioning from Microsoft Excel or other reporting platforms who would benefit from additional time to learn Power BI.
PL-300 Certification Preparation
The course covers the core skills associated with the Microsoft PL-300 Power BI Data Analyst certification, including data preparation, semantic modelling, data visualisation, analytics, report distribution and security.
Participants receive live instruction, comprehensive training materials, access to a licensed environment for practical exercises and a certificate of completion.
Choose the Learning Pace That Works for You
If you already have experience with Power BI and prefer an intensive learning experience, our three-day Microsoft PL-300 course may be the right choice.
If you prefer a more structured approach with additional time for hands-on learning and instructor support, our four-day Power BI Data Analyst training provides a more comprehensive learning experience.
Individuals are welcome to join any of our scheduled public training courses. For private group training, multiple-seat bookings, or corporate training enquiries, please contact us at [email protected].
