Reviews
Really Informative Training
Laura was superb in taking us step by step into creating Power BI dashboards. I would easily recommend it to any one who’s looking for an introduction to Power BI.
Great training!
The Dashboard in a Day course was super easy to follow and packed with useful info. Highly recommend it! Laura, the trainer, was fabulous and really knowledgeable!
Good course, just need a couple of extra bits
Appreciate the trainer advised she would explore sharing the video of the course however, it would be helpful as a follow up after the course to have a 1 page document on the basic principles for creating your dashboard as a helpful reminder
Exceeded expectations
Laura said at the start of the day that we would be done by 4pm when enthusiasm levels would fade and she was right – information overload. I wonder if I would have been better doing a half day to introduce to the software and how to set up the data, and then have time to apply this knowledge to our own data, and then the second half day is teaching how to build the reports, giving the opportunity to ask questions specific to our requirements
Amazing
Laura is a real expert. She adapted the content of the session to our needs seamlessly and effectively answered any questions we had.
Response from Vantage 365 Training
That is amazing feedback, thank you so much. I know Laura really enjoyed the class too!
