I think it is misleading to put Power BI in the name of the course - course is mainly about general data analysis theory with very little information about Power BI. I expected introduction to this tool, manuals how to use it or exercise how to analyse data with help of Power BI. There are some, but take very little time comparing with all that theoretical material included in these course. Moreover, manuals for Power BI have only forms of text not video. Course probably useful for those at the very beginning of they journey with data as there is a lot of basic information about data analyse (like data cleaning, transforming, etc) - good to know, but if you already work with data, probably you know this. Also there is too much theory in my opinion, which not always represents the reality (like roles, stages)

The course is well-explained. However, lacks enough hands-on experience in Power BI in my opinion. Also, Power Query is touched upon but there are no exercises or videos to practice or learn anything about it even though there are quiz questions related to it. Overall, the course is a great introduction to Power BI and understanding Data I just wish there was more practice using Power BI.

The proffessour is kind of boring , also the information is so repetitive and not focused ... Its better to have more examples of how to use excel before the different assignments.

Too much theory and too little practice, it feels like the same stuff is being repeated over and over again and it's hard to wrap your mind around what exactly is learning about.

It focused a lot on theoretical aspects and it could've contained more Lab exercises.

This is a great course if you are new to how data is gathered, used, the ETL process, etc. However, I am 5 weeks into this program and there has been VERY little use of the Power BI application. Instead, the modules tell you the processes for data transformation, ETL, how data can help the business, etc, then tells you to use Power BI for these tasks. At the end of the week, there is an online document that has links to the Microsoft website for Power BI How To's that explain everything. I would be better off with a Power BI book. Better use of time and money.

This is more like a long series of promotional\commercial videos rather than practical tutorial. Instructed by different persons, the course lacks integrity and they go back and forth between different topics and repeat a lot of things multiple times. Some parts are tooo much basic and some parts are too advanced. A much shorter course in Udemy was much more helpful for me.

Two courses in (out of eight) and I have serious doubts this is going to actually help me at all for the Microsoft certification exam... The content and the format so far are rather disappointing. Thinking of pursuing the (free) self-study option on the Microsoft Learn site instead.

It was confusing that we didn't substantially use PowerBI at all in this course, but instead worked on data preparation and review in Excel. I wouldn't have taken the course if I knew there was very little focus on practical use of PowerBI

The course was far too basic and did not meet my expectations at all. The name is misleading, as it does not cover any topics related to Power BI. Instead, the content kept repeating the same old Excel and data fundamentals throughout all three modules. If you're looking to learn about Power BI, this course is definitely not for you. Save your time and look for a course that actually delivers on its promises.

They have mentioned they will provide 50% discount code to take PL-300 exam in the course. But i am following up with them regarding it. No body helped. I don't understand why they have mentioned if their intention is something different. They are fooling people

You cannot make a PowerBI service account without a school or work email address. This restraint is unfair and should have been clearly stated from the very beginning so that people like myself do not waste our time with the first module.
