What I liked the most was the coach's openness regarding the change in content as well as the approach that was previously prepared to accommodate our real needs
Ernesto Sitoe Junior - Electricidade de Mocambique
Course - Advanced Power BI
The second day as Power Bi is a really friendly tool, and clearly Costas knows it very well, it was really good to learn about that tool. Unfortunately we have to see Power pivot in excel first which is really not user friendly but definitely a must see first in order to understand how Power Bi works, and it makes Power Bi look super cool :)
Anne-Cecile Jacquot - Ameropa
Course - Excel to Power BI
The second day was very interesting. It was a good training to see some possibilities within Power BI; but mostly you learn then while you work with Power BI. Fact is also that the training base has all access rights and everything works, but as soon as you try to connect to the live system, it does not work and this makes the knowledge transfer a bit difficult.
