Power BI Data Analyst Training Overview
This official Microsoft course, PL-300: Power BI Data Analyst, replaces DA-100 and teaches attendees the methods and best practices that align with business and technical requirements for modeling, visualizing, and analyzing data with Power BI. In this course, students learn how to access, clean up, and present data from a range of data sources, including both relational and non-relational data, then deploy their reports and dashboards for sharing and distribution. Participants also learn how to implement proper security standards and policies across the Power BI spectrum. This course prepares students for Power BI certification by passing the PL-300 exam, for which every attendee receives a voucher. For attendees new to reporting, we recommend expanding this class to 4 days.
Note: For private classes, at your request, we can add a day to the class to focus on projects using your organization’s data. Please contact us for a quote.

What students are saying about our PL-300, Power BI Data Analyst course:
"Would highly recommend this course over and over to anyone interested in learning PowerBI. I was nervous signing up for the course because there are millions of learning platforms out there and it was hard to chose just one. Accelebrate was very flexible for our organization in terms of pricing and course content. [The instructor] was one of the best instructors I have had in all of my career. Very professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your success."
-Shawn L, VieCure
"The Analyzing Data with Microsoft Power BI class was amazing! It was taught by a great trainer at a great pace! We had several different staff in this class (not all business analysts or report writers) and everyone seemed to follow along."
-Debra B, Radiological Society of North America
