It was an interactive course, with lots of useful information to help us create a report in Power BI from scratch. It managed to cover a lot of information from several "modules" of this complex application in a relatively short time (2 days). The trainer was very responsive and helped us resolve any issues that arose during the day in our reports. For me, this was the first online course with a trainer that I participated in, and I am surprised by the patience and professionalism he showed.
