Power BI training delivered at your own Reading office, shaped around the kind of reporting your team is responsible for.
What the day covers
Getting data in from Excel, SQL Server and SharePoint without a manual copy and paste step every month.
Shaping it in Power Query so the refresh keeps working when next month's file arrives with an extra column.
A data model that holds up, with relationships and measures that give the same answer twice.
Reports people actually read, and publishing them so the right people can see them.
Most teams arrive with a report that works and nobody trusts. The useful part of the day is usually the hour spent on why the total is wrong, not the hour spent on visuals.
Power BI work in Reading splits along the Thames Valley's two economies. The software and technology firms around Thames Valley Park and Winnersh Triangle sit on product, licensing and pipeline data, and their operations teams are usually the ones stitching it together for a quarterly business review. Around Forbury Square and Apex Plaza, accountancy and professional services practices build monthly client packs where the question is not the chart but whether the number underneath it survives a partner asking where it came from. Both are modelling problems rather than visual problems, which is where the course spends its time.
Power BI training in Reading: FAQs
Do we need Power BI licences before the course?+
Power BI Desktop is free and is where the modelling work happens, so the course can run without paid licences. You need Power BI Pro or a capacity to share reports with colleagues, and we will point out where that line falls for your setup.
Will the examples look like our reports?+
We train on realistic sample data designed around the kind of reporting your team does, rather than your live files. Tell us what the work looks like when you book and the trainer shapes the day around it.
Who should attend this Power BI Introduction course?+
The course is ideal for analysts, finance staff, managers and anyone who works with business data and wants a straightforward way to analyse and present it. No prior Power BI experience is required.
What experience do I need before joining?+
Familiarity with Excel and a general awareness of business data are useful, but no previous Power BI or advanced analytics experience is necessary.
What practical skills will I gain?+
You’ll learn to connect to data sources, clean and model data, and create interactive reports and dashboards using real-world scenarios. You’ll leave comfortable using Power BI’s core features in your day-to-day work.
